Atif, do some more Powertabs. You're good at them. The 50 Cent one was especially good.

Powertabs (and probably GP and keyboard tabs) are likely to show up here in a month or two.

A month or two?! Brilliant Nomad, brilliant.

hmmm......is someone being sarcastic?
coincidentally, i got awesome powertabs going for Stones of Sorrow, and Ramses Bringer of War (both complete with horns) by Nile
i think i'll powertab that whole album (even Kudurru Maqlu)

and i plan on doing some other metal bands, like maybe Death etc...

when are they gonna be done? that's indeterminate

The 50 Cent one was sarcasm. But really, the other ones you did were excellent. Spheres of Madness rocked.

Where are the Nile songs? I want 'em.

I'm abot 3/4 of the way through Carcass - Forensic Clinicism/The Sanguine Article. The solo is a bitch.

Nomad, you're the man! I knew you'd do it. I'm a little pissed off at guitar-pro though. A number of poeple took my powertab files anf converted them to gp4 files and gave me not an ounce of credit. And refused to do so. The dick at mysongbook.com wouldn't help me either. He said " oh well, once you post somthing on the net poeple can do whatever they want with it... Though shit." To me that would be like writing a book and having somone else publish the same book with their name on it. Bullshit! Make you own book fagot! Anyway, I wouldn't add gp4 metaltabs.com. Those fucks have no dignity.

GP4 sounds like shit, i still have to look into Powertab, but this whole argument that you actually get the proper rhythm...if you can't listen to your CD a couple times and figure out the rhythm yourself after looking at a tab, just put down the guitar and learn to play the triangle, cause guitar is not for you.

says you, until you run into a song with quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, and odd (and/or weird) time signatures (5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, 5/4)

__________________

its all in how closely you listen...i don't even know what time sig i write stuff in, i've been told some stuff is in 5/8 etc, but i'm always on time no matter what...if i'm playing along w/a band thats in a crazy time sig, it takes a bit longer to figure out, bet i get it eventually...

if powertabs come to this site, i'll prolly start tabbing that way as well, but until then, i'll just remain ignorant to it.

sometimes you can't figure out the rhythm until someone points it to you, it's just hard to hear sometimes.
check out the powertab i did for Spheres of Madness (Spheres.ptb):
i thought that's how the rhythm went

when someone showed me the right way (Spheres2.ptb)
i had to listen to it REAL hard, then i got it

so it's not so cut and dry sometimes

and also these powertabs are much better than a string of these:

22-22-2222|-222222-222222
00-00-0000|-000000-000000

111-111-1111|
000-000-0000|

check that second line, are those triplets or what?
sure you'd eventually figure it out, but it takes relavitely a lot less time to figure it out; bottom line

I have no problem gettng rythm down if I know how a song goes, but then translating that into, well thoes are 8th and 16th notes in 5/8 is the hard part. Playing in time isnt the problem.

Great stuff, Nomad. Inverted is 100% right about Power Tab. I've been getting into it over recent months and love it.

Well, Powertab has been used on the

http://www.emptywords.org/tablature.htm

Death memorial website for some of Chuck's songs. I've used powertab before to figure out some riffs that I like and I have found that:

It forces you to get the tab correct ( I try to be a perfectionist and if it doesn't sound like it's exact, you will try to make it correct) which is good for everybody.

About the 'stealing tabs' without giving proper credit, yes it's bull.

In band, I'm playing a song that is 6/8+2/4+6/8+3/4, .

Got any power tabs to submit?

Nomad, I have 50 done and another 20-30 in the making. I sent you a PM but I don't know if you got it. Let me know how you want them. I can make a zip for you if you want. I do however feel that we'll need a new forum for powertab. And guitarpro for that matter. There will need to be some form of quality control.

Yeah, I agree about the new forum for Powertab. Good idea.
