How do I write tab using this device?

Post by midimania »

I have Guitar Tab Pro software. I'm tired of tabbing all of my guitar parts, so I started looking for some type of device to use to speed up the process. I simply want to plug my guitar into my computer and play. Then, my notes will be transcribed into Guitar Tab pro. Will this work for me? Will it be easy? Thanks!

We have tried some different notation (tab) applications and they all work reasonably well.

However, none that we have tried so far correctly responds to pitch-bend, so it doesn't directly translate all the nuances of your playing including vibrato and string bends.

Also, because the G2M doesn't know which string you are playing on, the tab program might not assign the notes to the correct strings -- just the same as if you used a keyboard to input the notes.

But even with these limitations, it is still much faster than entering all the notes manually!
