Why are most of the transcriptions guitar only?
Because I only play guitar.
Can I send my own Hammerfall tabs?
Sure, if they're not already on the site I will accept them. I do not want to have a several versions of the same song though, but 2 maybe 3 is ok specially if we're talking about a different arrangement.
Why is this a power tab only website?
Because unlike other guitar software Power Tab is free, but unlike when I started this I am willing to accept Guitar-Pro tabs. However, my own tabs will be uploaded in Power-Tab.
Well, I only use Guitar Pro, can you convert them and send them to me?
No. Guitar Pro v5 imports Power Tab files so you should be ok. I still encourage people to try Power Tab since is a great guitar software.
I just downloaded the full album files but can't open them, why?
You will need to download WinRar or a similar software to open the files (http://www.winrar.com/).
Can I submit/share Non-Power tab files? (e.g. Guitar Pro) NEW - March 6, 2010
Maybe, send me an email. I know I have said no in the past however, things change I rather have them all in Power Tab but if there's a significant different or from a great song that I might not have time to work on. Then I might upload, again...I rather have them "converted" in Power Tab though. Why the change? I understand how big Guitar Pro so I'm trying to get more fellow musicians involved in this effort.
I always consider co-tabbing, send me an email and let's chat about it.
What tools do you use to transcribe?
Well, other than Power Tab (and very recently Guitar-Pro 6) I also use Transcribe! to slow down songs, repeat sections and change/adjust tunings when necessary. I don't always change the tuning of my guitar I rather change the actual song (that might seem a little weird for some). For last I also use Gold Wave to reduce vocals and lead instruments overall. I hope this helps. I can create a blog or another F.A.Q. on how I do it (my own process, maybe later.
