hey man did u manage to find tutorial for this somewhere? im also strugling with timing. i put notes in but i cant understand how to set "speed / rythm / feel / timing" .. name it whatever u like to match the song. i even set BPM like it is in song but it still goes like 5 times slower. i think it has to do something with those "eight notes/quarter notes" settings, but if i touch that then i have notes play out quick and huge gap of silence until it reaches next tab, and some notes somehow get "eaten" like i see slider going over them but they dont make any sound
@@end27 I got stumped on this at first as well, here’s what I found to be mistakes I was doing and how fixing them gave me the right feel: 1- I didn’t select the correct time signature for the bar. I thought what I was playing and transcribing is in 4/4, when in reality it was 5/4. You can have multiple time signatures for a track 2- I didn’t pay attention to note values, understanding how those work is important in writing down a complete bar. If the time signature is 4/4 a quarter note would last a quarter of the time in the bar, therefore you will have four quarter notes in that bar. An eighth note is half of that, so you would have eight of those... etc. You would need the note values in a single bar to match up to the time signature. In other words, no matter how you short or long the notes you’re playing are, you will need the equivalent of four quarter notes in a 4/4 bar, this includes rests. If a bar doesn’t have enough notes, Guitar Pro will tell you by showing you the incomplete bar in red, and when you press play the slider will skip notes in incomplete bars 3- Paying attention to rest placements and rest values is important as well. You would be telling how long or short a rest is by also changing the rest value as if it was another note 4- To change a bar’s time signature, you can click at the beginning of the staff on the left and an option menu will pop up that will let you select the right time signature and will make a bar longer or shorter accordingly. Hope this helps!! Most importantly, have fun!!
@@end27 glad you found it useful! My hope is that people like me and you don’t get intimidated by the software as they’re starting out. It seemed very complex at first, but after some experimentation and looking up videos like this one I got over that first hurdle. Guitar Pro changed how I approach making my own music for the better, and I want everyone to have a tool like this be accessible to them as well so they can unleash their creativity. Happy tabbing my friend 😊
Thank you for this, Levi! I just purchased Guitar Pro 7 and your video is the first I've watched, which was extremely helpful! One question I have...will this software create the tabs as you play your guitar through the software (I'm guessing not, but that would be an even greater time-saver!)
@@LeviClay Apologies for the redundant question (ugh!)...I just realized that I had asked this a few months ago! lol. Nonetheless, I finally bought it and gave your video another view!
Awesome tutorial. I've been looking for something like this to help with my handouts and diagrams for students. As a follow up though, is there/how do you add a title to the subject directly onto the sheet? Thanks again! -Richie
Hey Levi I subscribed your channel after Rick Beato recommended it. Thank you for doing it in a very slow, good to listen to and clear way. After my sabbatical I will start to tab my own music. My main struggle in writing it down is rhythm. So if you have any suggestion, Tipp or small advice for me (and maybe others too) how you approach that topic would be great. All the best for you and I continue enjoying your tutorials. Cheers Jens
Hey Jens That’s EXACTLY what I’m going to be doing a video on with Rick! I’d recommend checking out each of my reading 101 videos - I explain the connection between the skills there :)
Thank you for this, Levi. Is it fairly simple to use this for creating a tab book for an album you’ve already released? Perhaps a better question is can you somehow integrate guitar tracks that have already been recorded into the software and have it create the tabs? Thank you!
This is as basic as I have been looking for, thanks! I am seeing a problem, as I begin filing in notes the program does not automatically add a bar as you are teaching. Is there somethibg in settings that I need to address?
Best describe as 4 quarter notes in the soprano part with the first note having a chord beneath it, quarter note, quarter note with half note chord beneath, and a quarter note to end the measure.
Hey Levi. Excellent tutorial. I'm starting to tab out songs for my viewers and this video will save me a lot time. FYI, I believe my friend Paul just started taking lessons with you (Englishman who lives in ATL). Anyway, great channel. I just subbed. Best of luck to your continued growth. -Mark

question .. is it possible to hide sheet music and leave only the TAB for printing? I am looking for and do not know where this function could be. You can do that with the guitar pro 5

Hey Levi, I wonder if you can help me out. I have the 7.5 version. I'm having problems trying to use the multi-voice function. I'm trying to insert a half note chord on beat 3 under quarter notes, but doesn't want to accept it. Suggestions?
how do I add just 3 notes to a 4/4 bar and have them evenly spaced please so there is no rest? I have seen plenty of guitar pro files where there only 3 notes in a bar and they just flow onto the next bar of 3 and so on...but when I do it myself in a new file I get an invalid duration bar error. TIA
You need to learn about notation. I doubt you've seen that in a bar of 4/4, because triplet half notes are REALLY uncommon. Sounds like you don't want 4/4, you want 3/4.
How can I enter music for Bb trumpet and have it play in the correct pitch? If I enter music from a trumpet book into guitar pro it will play a whole step up from up from the intended pitch.
@@LeviClay I clicked on that little tuning fork icon and that let me tune it down how ever much I wanted. Whole step in this case. I didn't want to transpose because all the notes would change and when a trumpet player would play they would be reading in a different key. I got it straightened out though. Thanks.
Hi, Levi! How do you disable the program change on a midi file? When I bring a midi file from GP into my DAW, it reverts back to a default sound every time I restart the track.
Other than a text marker - no. You’re talking about how to notate something extremely non standard... in standard tuning. Some musicians argue about how notation with capos should be handled... let alone adding one mid song!
Guitar Pro is cool, but they need to add Polyrythm functionality and also the abilty to play a midi keyboard in real-time to record notes. These two things would make me convinced as I'm not too big on typing #s into a keyboard.
Hi sir, how to set the guitar pro 7 for get the guitar sound? because i've installed the guitar pro 7, however when i try to create some note i don't get any sound in here. please kindly to answer, i would really apreciate it.
@@LeviClay Yes, alt up or down arrow. But I was wondering where the dedicated buttons went. I can't find it anywhere, I assume GP got rid of it between ver 5 and 8.
Hello Live. Thank you for the Guitar Pro Tutorials. These have been immensely helpful. Do you know if there is a way to show counts in Guitar Pro 7 at notes in each measure. For example 1 + (2) + a 3 + 4 etc.......
TWO QUESTIONS 1.What colour (color ) is the staff (stave) lines when you print them out ? They look a bit grey 2. Can you change the thickness of the staff lines ? It looks a bit thin to me THANKS !
I didn't realize you had an entire playlist for Guitar Pro, very cool. I used to use it quite a bit - had a studio where I taught etc etc - but just updated to version 7.6 and have a question. Hopefully it's not too long/involved (and makes sense). I can read well, don't really like reading tab. I like to tune to Eb, but want to keep scores in E, ie, just want to tune all the instruments down 1/2 step in tone but don't want the actual keys to change. There was a way to do this on GP6, but I can't seem to figure it out on GP7. As an example, say I load a Stevie Ray Vaughn song that's been written in E and also sounds in E. How would I change guitar/bass tone to Eb but keep the score in E? hope that makes sense! ps love the Tom Hess vids, too funny
Tell me something, do you know of a good guitar site that would allow me to transcribe from notes to guitar TAB? In other words, where are the music notes located on the fretboard? Thank you.
There's no hard and fast way, because the guitar is like 6 little pianos. The E in the top space of the staff appears in 6 different places on the guitar. Just the note E going up to F can be played in at LEAST 21 different ways, and while some of them are more likely and some of them will literally never be done, they do still exist!
Hi, thank you for the tutorial, very useful. Can you help me, though? I have ISSUES WITH AUTOMATIC BAR - I'm using 7.5 version and bars don't come up automatically when I insert the notes/tab. I have tried to edit using the 'System Layout' option but it doesn't work. Can you or anyone help me to fix this, please? Thanks
Thanks for your Tutorials! They really helped a lot! Maybe you or s.o. here can give a quick answer to a specific problem: Is there quick way to change strings/ finger position with a already created melody? I entered a melody in the notation (not tab) and later noticed that GP but it in the Tab in the "wrong" way... i.e. lets say I put in the notes e / f / g and GP put in the Tab as 0 / 1 / 3 on the high e-string... But I want it to be played on the b-string (5/6/ 8). Is there a way to change such a thing without redoing the whole melody?
@@LeviClay I almost didn't see your answer sorry. Maybe I have to dig deeper or adjust settings or maybe it's an iMac issue? however your Shortcut doesn't work :-(
I know you were not a big fan of 7.0- do you like 7.5? What is the best source to buy/import tabs into gp7.5? mySongBook didn't sound all that great and I'm not sure how many tabs are in there. Can you import from Ultimate Guitar? I mostly just want to play along with tabs and be able to slow things down until I learn a new part. I don't compose much but suppose I could try writing something. Any tips on other programs I might want to look at would be much appreciated.
7.5 is a big improvement, but it's still got lots it needs fixing. My Songbook is the place to go - they're done by pros and the artists are paid - ultimate guitar give away free tabs done by whoever - there's no quality control there.
When altering the tuning of a guitar in GP6 e.g. 1/2 step down we had the option to leave the notation untouched. So a song notated in A Minor was still in A Minor after altering the tuning but sounded differently when being played back. As it seems in GP7 that option does not exist anymore. - At least I couldn't find it. So when I tried to notate a song in A Minor and lower the tuning by 1/2 step the key of song will also alter. In my eyes that's a drawback. Or do You have additional information on this?
WOW!? Thats so easy to write music down; I didnt know GPro did all this so easily! Thanks for the demo; I gotta get me this! BTW when you were using just keyboard entry for note, how do you access triplet/quintriplet bars for a set of 3 or 5 notes? Or did you just mouse click the triplet bar indicator; i didnt see you pre-select the three notes...thnx
Thanks for the video. I am still new to the program. One thing I dislike about guitar pro is that it is hard to format the systems. They dont line up across pages and it looks aweful. Thats my summer project to figure out. Thanks again, keep it up!
... very interesting app for my practice ..... i think also i can set my guitar to my way of tuning ..... i want to set tuning to EB EB EB ... in order to practice carnatic notes
Doing the free trial. When I’m practicing bass tabs the music starts to cut off and on, the marker is lagging behind, and I can’t access Tuxguitar. I am hesitant to purchase the program. I’m gonna check to make sure the problem isn’t my laptop. If it is, then I will have to purchase a really cheap laptop. Any recommendations? I’m on disability due to cancer so I can’t spend much, so 200 or 300.
Hey there, Levi! I have a bit of a problem with setting my custom tuning. Apparently after I confirm the settings that I want, the 4th string tuning doesn't show up in the main worksheet but the other 5 are fine. Any fix on this?
@@christianfenis1415 so under style sheet (f5 I believe) you need to go to the tuning section and tell it to display all strings, not just unusually tuned ones
I often find that I end up with more notes in the bar than I want. For example I might enter a phrase as all 8th notes then go back and input the correct rhythm or realise I missed a note etc. This puts the bars out of place. I know you can fix this with Bar Arranger but there is no shortcut key for this. I wonder if you or anyone else has any useful tips for dealing with bar lines without the need to reach for the mouse.
I'm mostly into death metal, so, I think tablature is just easier to use because the music is fast. There are many more notes in a song, than in most other genres.
TheUnholiness Within Fast is not the issue, just add some little flag things. Metal is easy to notate, because there are always the same three notes 😃, no rhythmic complexity and a lot of redundancy.
Great video! You seem to be an expert and could maybe help me? I love Guitar Pro for practicing with the progressive time loop. So I enter most of the pieces I practice into Guitar Pro. However, I've run into a "Head-Scratcher", Is it possible to hide rests in a multivoice score. As far as I know the rests must be entered to get the notes to line up in each voice but seeing them in the tablature isn't needed or wanted. Any help would be much appreciated!
There is a button in the style sheet that you click to "hide useless rests".... I don't think a rest can be useless, so I take issue with the button - but in your case it may be useful!
@@LeviClay Thanks for replying... pretty awesome actually. I have the "Hide useless rests on standard notation" checked. I agree it's an odd term, I guess Guitar Pro doesn't see the rest in question as useless? FWIW... The 4/4 measure in question has 2 voices. Voice 1: ½ note, dotted ¼ note and an ⅛ note. Voice 2: ⅛ rest (which GP does hide and notates it above the staff), 3 ⅛ notes, ¼ beat rest (this is the one I want to hide) then an ending ¼ note.
FYI... Response from Arobas Music: Thanks for your reply, I've been in touch with our development team, actually the stylesheet option will hide a rest only if this one as the same value than a beat placed on a different voice. Here it is a dotted eight note, so the rest is still displayed. I am sorry I won't have a specific workaround to suggest, but we added it to our wishlist for future improvements.
if i dont become a professional transcriber by the end of this playlist, im suing jk saw the manuel gardner video, and even though i like his playing and kinda felt shitty watching it cause i think he's a great guitarists became interested in transcribing so im here to learn
I need to write tab for E9 pedal steel guitar. Is there a way to put the tab numerals between lines, rather than on lines, and also add letters indicating pedals and knee levers? You ran through a lot of things a little too fast, I'm a novice at this and had a lot of questions after viewing this tutorial. Good job otherwise!
ive been trying to write tabs in and nothing seems to be working, doesn't sound the same as what im playing, and it just sticks to a standard time signature. Doesn't play it the way i play it and i don't know how to make it do so. iVe watched countless video's and nobody seems to cover it.... my issue is i want to write a progressive chord sequence with palm mutes etc, i tab it all in but it plays it all at 1 continuous beat, how do i accentuate it all the play like im playing it? I cant find the right tempo to fit the bars.... all seems like poor design tbh. The rhythm doesn't match what im trying to do and im getting incredibly annoyed with how little information there is about specific problems in gp6. Surely this is a common issue, that gp wont let you write in what ever the hell time signature you wanna write in? and if it does what am i doing wrong? becuase nothing lines up, just plays it all at a continuous beat and doesnt sound right at all. Seems like its more complicated than it needs to be or am i just inexperienced? Please help
I miss played examples of what you write in GP. Fx when you filled a bar etc, I´d like you to play what you just wrote so I can better understand what you just showed :-) Yes.... I am a slow beginner haha
8 minutes in and I've already encountered a problem: Moving with my arrow keys doesn't go to the next beat, it goes to the next entire bar, even though I have 8th notes selected. What's my issue?
DJEDI296 I’m guessing that you’re pressing right and it’s moving to the next note which will be a blank 8th note, and then you’re pressing right again because you don’t want a note there? You have to create a rest if there’s no note there, so press R.

@@LeviClay Yes, alt up or down arrow. But I was wondering where the dedicated buttons went. I can't find it anywhere, I assume GP got rid of it between ver 5 and 8.
@@jerrydelacruz5119 yeah, they dropped it after 6 I think. Not sure why, makes sense to have it there
@@LeviClay Just a matter of getting used alt up/down, but was fixated on trying to find where the old button was. Thnx
Hello Live. Thank you for the Guitar Pro Tutorials. These have been immensely helpful. Do you know if there is a way to show counts in Guitar Pro 7 at notes in each measure.
For example 1 + (2) + a 3 + 4 etc.......
Use text (T)
TWO QUESTIONS
1.What colour (color ) is the staff (stave) lines when you print them out ? They look a bit grey
2. Can you change the thickness of the staff lines ? It looks a bit thin to me
THANKS !
I didn't realize you had an entire playlist for Guitar Pro, very cool. I used to use it quite a bit - had a studio where I taught etc etc - but just updated to version 7.6 and have a question. Hopefully it's not too long/involved (and makes sense). I can read well, don't really like reading tab. I like to tune to Eb, but want to keep scores in E, ie, just want to tune all the instruments down 1/2 step in tone but don't want the actual keys to change. There was a way to do this on GP6, but I can't seem to figure it out on GP7.
As an example, say I load a Stevie Ray Vaughn song that's been written in E and also sounds in E. How would I change guitar/bass tone to Eb but keep the score in E?
hope that makes sense!
ps love the Tom Hess vids, too funny
Ok, now I feel like a moron. Just updated and it's the easiest thing ever to change pitch. duh!
Tell me something, do you know of a good guitar site that would allow me to transcribe from notes to guitar TAB? In other words, where are the music notes located on the fretboard? Thank you.
There's no hard and fast way, because the guitar is like 6 little pianos. The E in the top space of the staff appears in 6 different places on the guitar. Just the note E going up to F can be played in at LEAST 21 different ways, and while some of them are more likely and some of them will literally never be done, they do still exist!

Hi, thank you for the tutorial, very useful. Can you help me, though? I
have ISSUES WITH AUTOMATIC BAR - I'm using 7.5 version and bars don't
come up automatically when I insert the notes/tab. I have tried to edit
using the 'System Layout' option but it doesn't work. Can you or anyone
help me to fix this, please? Thanks
i have the same problem, have you found any solution?
@@MrBrotkrumen put curser on last bar and hit the right arrow key and a bar will pop up
Thanks for your Tutorials! They really helped a lot!
Maybe you or s.o. here can give a quick answer to a specific problem: Is there quick way to change strings/ finger position with a already created melody? I entered a melody in the notation (not tab) and later noticed that GP but it in the Tab in the "wrong" way... i.e. lets say I put in the notes e / f / g and GP put in the Tab as 0 / 1 / 3 on the high e-string... But I want it to be played on the b-string (5/6/ 8). Is there a way to change such a thing without redoing the whole melody?
Yeah, ctrl+up or down on highlighted section
@@LeviClay I almost didn't see your answer sorry.
Maybe I have to dig deeper or adjust settings or maybe it's an iMac issue? however your Shortcut doesn't work :-(
@@olliweber2117 yeah, there’s a shortcut for it, I’m just on PC
Can you explain how to input rests in your next video please Levi. I have kind of worked it out but it is still a bit confusing.
on it! :)
Not only put them in but put them where you want them in the score(voice 1 ,voice 2, etc)
I know you were not a big fan of 7.0- do you like 7.5? What is the best source to buy/import tabs into gp7.5? mySongBook didn't sound all that great and I'm not sure how many tabs are in there. Can you import from Ultimate Guitar? I mostly just want to play along with tabs and be able to slow things down until I learn a new part. I don't compose much but suppose I could try writing something. Any tips on other programs I might want to look at would be much appreciated.
7.5 is a big improvement, but it's still got lots it needs fixing.
My Songbook is the place to go - they're done by pros and the artists are paid - ultimate guitar give away free tabs done by whoever - there's no quality control there.
what was the key to fill out that bar at the end there?
Need more info
When altering the tuning of a guitar in GP6 e.g. 1/2 step down we had the option to leave the notation untouched. So a song notated in A Minor was still in A Minor after altering the tuning but sounded differently when being played back.
As it seems in GP7 that option does not exist anymore. - At least I couldn't find it. So when I tried to notate a song in A Minor and lower the tuning by 1/2 step the key of song will also alter. In my eyes that's a drawback. Or do You have additional information on this?
WOW!? Thats so easy to write music down; I didnt know GPro did all this so easily! Thanks for the demo; I gotta get me this! BTW when you were using just keyboard entry for note, how do you access triplet/quintriplet bars for a set of 3 or 5 notes? Or did you just mouse click the triplet bar indicator; i didnt see you pre-select the three notes...thnx
Thanks for the video. I am still new to the program. One thing I dislike about guitar pro is that it is hard to format the systems. They dont line up across pages and it looks aweful. Thats my summer project to figure out.
Thanks again, keep it up!
you put it in design mode for that - video on that coming REAL soon! :)

Levi Clay wow, awesome that video came out so quickly. Thank you for addressing my question. I will try your advice :)
... very interesting app for my practice ..... i think also i can set my guitar to my way of tuning ..... i want to set tuning to EB EB EB ... in order to practice carnatic notes
Can you insert tones with your guitar in some way? Silly question maybe but it would be a lot easier....
How do u make a long pause between bars?
Put more bars in
how do i put "intro" "verse" "bridge" etc above a measure like i've seen in some tabs?
Was curious how much you're able to do with the Android app can you create or is it only use for playing back?
1:35 - double edit? Retake without the first take being deleted?
Stephen Lafferty yep... because I’m a pro 😂
Doing the free trial. When I’m practicing bass tabs the music starts to cut off and on, the marker is lagging behind, and I can’t access Tuxguitar. I am hesitant to purchase the program. I’m gonna check to make sure the problem isn’t my laptop. If it is, then I will have to purchase a really cheap laptop. Any recommendations? I’m on disability due to cancer so I can’t spend much, so 200 or 300.
Is there a way you can play the song on your actual guitar and it tabs it out automatically?
Would be nice if someone invented that. Would save so much time.
Hey there, Levi! I have a bit of a problem with setting my custom tuning. Apparently after I confirm the settings that I want, the 4th string tuning doesn't show up in the main worksheet but the other 5 are fine. Any fix on this?
Am I right in saying your custom tuning didn’t change the tuning of the 4th string? (It’s still a D?)
@@LeviClay Yes, that's right. It's still a D. 👍
@@christianfenis1415 so under style sheet (f5 I believe) you need to go to the tuning section and tell it to display all strings, not just unusually tuned ones
@@LeviClay Problem solved! It's displaying all 6 strings now. Thanks for the help, Levi! You rock!
@@christianfenis1415 no worries man!
Levi, have you played around with MuseScore? Other transcription programs besides Guitar Pro?
I often find that I end up with more notes in the bar than I want. For example I might enter a phrase as all 8th notes then go back and input the correct rhythm or realise I missed a note etc. This puts the bars out of place. I know you can fix this with Bar Arranger but there is no shortcut key for this. I wonder if you or anyone else has any useful tips for dealing with bar lines without the need to reach for the mouse.
I'm mostly into death metal, so, I think tablature is just easier to use because the music is fast. There are many more notes in a song, than in most other genres.
TheUnholiness Within Fast is not the issue, just add some little flag things. Metal is easy to notate, because there are always the same three notes 😃, no rhythmic complexity and a lot of redundancy.
@@mclekrell Oooooh, shots fired.
MIchael 1, TheUnholiness Within 0

I made a bunch of my own ideas on guitar pro, but when I tried to retrieve I cannot find the them.

Can I use a real guitar as an interface to write notations with GP 7.5?
Transcriber Man is my favorite superhero.
Please! How can you change a rest into a note, in the middle of a measure????
Great video! You seem to be an expert and could maybe help me?
I love Guitar Pro for practicing with the progressive time loop. So I enter most of the pieces I practice into Guitar Pro. However, I've run into a "Head-Scratcher", Is it possible to hide rests in a multivoice score. As far as I know the rests must be entered to get the notes to line up in each voice but seeing them in the tablature isn't needed or wanted. Any help would be much appreciated!
There is a button in the style sheet that you click to "hide useless rests".... I don't think a rest can be useless, so I take issue with the button - but in your case it may be useful!
@@LeviClay Thanks for replying... pretty awesome actually.
I have the "Hide useless rests on standard notation" checked. I agree it's an odd term, I guess Guitar Pro doesn't see the rest in question as useless?
FWIW... The 4/4 measure in question has 2 voices. Voice 1: ½ note, dotted ¼ note and an ⅛ note. Voice 2: ⅛ rest (which GP does hide and notates it above the staff), 3 ⅛ notes, ¼ beat rest (this is the one I want to hide) then an ending ¼ note.
FYI... Response from Arobas Music:
Thanks for your reply, I've been in touch with our development team, actually the stylesheet option will hide a rest only if this one as the same value than a beat placed on a different voice. Here it is a dotted eight note, so the rest is still displayed. I am sorry I won't have a specific workaround to suggest, but we added it to our wishlist for future improvements.
How do I simply add lyrics to a gP 7.5 lead sheet?
You print it and write them below the notes. Or press down your right foot and write them above.
Is there any way to input note by playing guitar?
if i dont become a professional transcriber by the end of this playlist, im suing
jk saw the manuel gardner video, and even though i like his playing and kinda felt shitty watching it cause i think he's a great guitarists became interested in transcribing so im here to learn
omg When I run to the end of the bar it doesn't move over for me to add notes.
what am I doing wrong!

I need to write tab for E9 pedal steel guitar. Is there a way to put the tab numerals between lines, rather than on lines, and also add letters indicating pedals and knee levers? You ran through a lot of things a little too fast, I'm a novice at this and had a lot of questions after viewing this tutorial. Good job otherwise!
thanks bro
ive been trying to write tabs in and nothing seems to be working, doesn't sound the same as what im playing, and it just sticks to a standard time signature. Doesn't play it the way i play it and i don't know how to make it do so. iVe watched countless video's and nobody seems to cover it.... my issue is i want to write a progressive chord sequence with palm mutes etc, i tab it all in but it plays it all at 1 continuous beat, how do i accentuate it all the play like im playing it? I cant find the right tempo to fit the bars.... all seems like poor design tbh. The rhythm doesn't match what im trying to do and im getting incredibly annoyed with how little information there is about specific problems in gp6. Surely this is a common issue, that gp wont let you write in what ever the hell time signature you wanna write in? and if it does what am i doing wrong? becuase nothing lines up, just plays it all at a continuous beat and doesnt sound right at all. Seems like its more complicated than it needs to be or am i just inexperienced? Please help
I miss played examples of what you write in GP. Fx when you filled a bar etc, I´d like you to play what you just wrote so I can better understand what you just showed :-)
Yes.... I am a slow beginner haha
that's not a lesson on how guitar pro, that's a music lesson
8 minutes in and I've already encountered a problem: Moving with my arrow keys doesn't go to the next beat, it goes to the next entire bar, even though I have 8th notes selected. What's my issue?
DJEDI296 I’m guessing that you’re pressing right and it’s moving to the next note which will be a blank 8th note, and then you’re pressing right again because you don’t want a note there? You have to create a rest if there’s no note there, so press R.
