Introduction :
two software are needed essential:
Guitar-pro 3 well on (I recommend Gp4) and especially a software (for example here
SOUND FORGE 5.0 ) who allows to improve the songs in wav format and which can buckle
( looping) a musical sentence.
After having chosen the pieces desired and to have extracted in wav, open it with Sound
forges.
Very significant ! Listen to the pieces several times to get well in the ear.

Sound forge v5 :

First stage : The signature and the tempo

With help of the drums or of all other instruments rhythmic, choose the good tempo as well as
the rhythmic signature (in general 4/4 but one never knows, in particular for the old blues).
essential for the continuation.

Looping of part of the song:

listen to a rhythmic part of the beginning of the song, then when you think of having to find a
measurement, you buckle it with Sound forges

you to select part of the spectrum, then read it to you with the key
The software will read this part to select in loop. This system is brilliant and does not damage
your Cd reader!!

Then you can obtain each note precisely that is for the drums, the guitar or for all the other
instruments. That is then facilit when the guitar is to place for example on the right channel,
with Sound forge I select the channel on the top (right pan) and there, I have only the guitar.

Second stage : The low one and Chords

Always seek the low one in first, it's easier and that allows to adjust then the chords. While
following the method of looping of measurement, I thus seek the chords with if need be , to
pass by again and pass by again this measurement.

To distinguish the tracks guitar-pro well from the very start, name, instruments etc... volume
and panoramic rules in the last.

Always listen to your work and compare it with the original.

The chords :
To indicate the names of the Chords ( keys CTRL + A) that facilitates the reading largely.

Troisime tape : The guitars solo

it's after having pose the bases of the pieces ( Drums, bass, rhythmic guitars) that we can start
to attack the guitars solo or specific. it's really there we realize there are parts of guitars which

are present here or there and which are almost inaudible for some. But they exist and it's at
this time there can beings added, always while following the same method of looping.
Properties of the tracks:

notes:

For the guitars with special tunings, specify it in the name of the track:
ex : Dropped D
Identical for Capos!!!!
Identical for the 7 strings, bass, or banjo...

Third stage : Volume and panoramic

adjust volumes in order to respect original and especially that all together of the instruments
heard well
For the pan, made as on the disc and of the same modifying if it is necessary to modify.

To modify these parameters in the medium of partition, to see headings additional: Change
of parameters

Fifth stage : The Voice

Many the useless judge but it's an excellent means of developing is ear.
Use a standard instrument rather trumpet or a keyboard instead of the synthetic voices, they
are more present.

As regards the words, add to them in the mitre instruction of proprites of the partitions, that
made small more.
And with regard to the system of word of gp4, it's practical but not yet at the point, to thus
work.

Sixth stage: Completion

Markers :

Think of good indicate to the broad outline to helps with markers: intro, Verse, chorus,prechorus, solo, bridge ...

In order to return more readable and more accessible. You can also change the color of the
tracks, sometimes useful
Maj+Ins to insert markers.

Durations of measurements:
Use the option To check the durations of measurements F8 key to see whether all
measurements are exact, if not this one are to indicate in red
Silences :
Use the option supplement with silences, that fills the vacuums and improves visual
aspect.
Nuances :
If need be, to adjust the nuances (to activate or decontaminate this function with the F12 key)

Seventh stage: Information related to the Song

With the help of the F5 key, clearly show the complete name of the pieces, the author and the
group or the artist who play this song. it's very significant for that which wants to know
some more about the pieces. . And if you spend several hours to transcribe a piece, this is
not a few minutes which will discourage you.

You can moreover indicate some precise details compared to the ways of playing the songs, or
the adjustments amplifiers /guitars to make to play those.
This last information are more for the beginners and are not forcing necessary.
do not forget to indicate the tonality of the song!

Rubrique annexe :
Change of parameters

The function Change of parameters accessible by the F10 key allows to modify on
a track several things quite practical.

We can change the instruments, the tempo, volume, the panoramic, the effets ... all that
immediately or gradually - up to 8 times: is with being said that effect will appear gradually
(except for the instruments).
note:
In the case of a distortion on a guitar, specify for example: Pedal disto one/off, reverb etc.
Identical for the tempo, to show the changes well with assistance of the Ctrl+T key to
specify "tempo=xxx" for example

Some councils :

Avoid recopy the titles exits of official songbooks

Made not a tabs with light, one needs time and of the will.
Avoid criticizing in evil the other tabber, it are there like you for their passion, and are
tested very often more.
Note and comment on the tabs that you to download and that you like - or that you
hate -, nothing gives more pleasure with a tabber than to see itself congratulating for
this work. This simple gesture of courtesy encourages people with counting still more
made.
often safe and in several files, have never knows this can be arrive (even if gp4 makes
autosavings).
Try to pass to Guitar-pro 4 (c6), you will be able to thus have access has all the tabs.
If you use several controller midi, attention has to choose port 1 well,

If not the tab will be refuse, because not functioning on the stations with single controller.

Here, there does not remain to you any more poster all your work!!!
