Power Tab users ...

[Kent S.]

How many people use, or are even aware of the power Tab program? It's a cool program created by Brad larson (I think that's the gentleman's name), it was create to allow people to author and print their own professional looking Tab/Manuscript
(just like those note for note transcriptions )... it's cool because it's not just for guitar .... any instrument with 3 to 7 strings can be input, has a guitar page and a bass page, you can use it to do lead sheets, or full on transcriptions, contains all copyright data
and it uses the sound card in your computer fro the playback of the piece, you can generate midi files as well as import midi files for it to transcribe (although the accurarcy is dependent on a couple of things).You can even use it as a cheap sequencer.
I might add that it also free ... and eventually there will be an even better version coming out that will incorporate percussion/drum lines.
There are also a ton of sites that have PT files for you to download, some guitar sites also have downloadable lessons.
So how many are interested? If so I'll try to post the URL so you can go to the site and download the program ...

I use it. Love it to death. Super-easy to transfer the tab files into Finale for arranging a horn section.

If they had this stuff when i was a kid i would probably bet the greatest guitarist ever

I just got into this 2 days ago after a friend told me about it. Oh my god, why didn't I ever use this before. This is my new favorite thing and will be for a long time to come. It's such a good learning tool. Any song, any time.

I'll have to check into that as well, but is it free is my question ...
That's what makes PT such a great deal. (Well, I mean it is a good program, but you know what I mean).

I use Finale' also, but some of the midi stuff doesn't transfer quite as well, the problem there is operator error , as Finale has quite a few options for midi channel assignments ... tThe cool thing I do with pT is to misuse it as a sequencer and arrange string stuff and choir stuff as guitar parts (not literally, but it's a great mental workout) ... because you have to input everything in tab first ... I also find Finale' a bit of a pain with the way it appears on the screen (the way it kinda loops around ).
