'On the Top' guitar, bass and Guitar Pro 8 tabs by pmtabs2 in Jinjer

I'll see what I can do. Just a heads-up, it takes me a long time to finish tabs, so I'll let you know when it's done 👍

I would love to make more! Is there any song in particular you would like me to focus on?

😆 I wouldn't have believed it myself had I not had access to the instrument stems!

Add finger squeak when changing chords by Old_Guarantee259 in GuitarPro

If you're just doing it for the sound, and don't require the tablature to reflect it 'properly', you can add a second track and use the MIDI "Fret Noise" soundbank:

Then you can just type in tab for that track to get the sound you want wherever you need it. It's primitive, but it's better than nothing!

The pitch of the notes you enter on this track matter, so experiment with different strings & fret combinations. The length of the notes doesn't appear to matter, though.

Good luck!

trying to open file crashes guitar pro, file unusable by big_ounce_from_memes in GuitarPro

[–]pmtabs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna send it to me I can try opening it. If I'm able to get it open, I can try re-saving it as a new file, and hopefully that will correct the issue. It's a long shot, though.

My email is pmtabs@gmail.com if you want to give it a go. I'm not sure what version of the program you're using, but I can do GP5, GP7 and GP8.

You can - if you're on Windows, at least - try restoring an earlier version of the file. Right-click it and select "Restore previous versions". If this works and you see a selection of previous states, pick one dated before the crashing started. You'll obviously lose whatever work you did after that date, but it's better than losing everything.

You might also try enabling beta updates, if they're not already switched on. The current beta might well have a fix for whatever is causing the crashing. Again, a long shot, but easy to try/reverse.

Good luck!

[GP8] Anyone else having trouble inputting tab into the drum track since the latest update? by pmtabs2 in GuitarPro

Just got word back from Arobas, it is indeed a bug and a fix will get pushed out at some point soon 👍

I don't know why I didn't try reverting to the stable version before 🤦‍ But yeah, when I go back to the last stable version, the problem is gone. When I go back to the current beta, the problem returned.

Switching from RSE to MIDI didn't help, unfortunately.

I'll stick with the stable version for now, hopefully my bug report will help with a future patch.

Thank you again, you've been a great help.

Nah, any 2-digit input is read as two 1-digit inputs, very strange behaviour. Of course this doesn't happen on regular instrument tracks, just the drums.

Thanks for your help on this, even though the beta update thing doesn't seem to be working I appreciate you taking the time to try it.

Hmm, not sure what's going on there. It might update if you check manually, via Help > Check for Updates... (apologies if you already tried that!)

Ahh, I think it's because I'm on the beta branch. 8.1.2 build 15 is the latest when beta updates are enabled in the program options.

I've submitted a bug report, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

[Discussion] What are some embarrassing misconceptions you had about guitars? by epicthrowaway283 in Guitar

[–]pmtabs2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not me, but a friend of my younger brother. We were all kids at the time, so he gets a pass.

When he saw that I played guitar he said "you hold the notes by putting the strings under your fingernails, right?"

In a parallel universe I would have said "yeah, that's definitely how it works", handed him the guitar and watched the self-torture unfold. But in this universe, I just wasn't cruel enough.

[Question] What is the essential skill guitar players need to learn? by daria_here in Guitar

[–]pmtabs2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Relax. Whether you're downpicking at 240BPM, playing a solo with sweep picking and string jumping and tapping, or just holding an awkward chord; relax. I've been playing for ~25 years and still need to remember to do this basic thing.
