Advanced Song Tutorial Part 1 of 2

No problem. Once you finished downloading those files and adding them, just read that paragraph that I posted before. That should be the end of your troubles.

YAYZ!

it's kinda funny how i thought of a similar way to fret the songs. i tried to use the the note pad version of a song to give me an idea of which notes i had to place where but i have issues with the timing of notes!

it great to see how others do their notes!

so Rock on!

I always thought that songmaking was dull, and I let the nerds do it and rip em off. I decided that I'd try it on my own with your method, and it's real fun! It's so sweet to see the progress of a song. It's 2 am now, I just kept trying to do it, while I thought I'd go to bad at twelve.

Sure, I'm not even past the first minute (lol), but I already see that I get faster. OK, I'm not sure how to use anchors, and I seem to be unable to copy/paste in dB (lol), and somehow, on my first try, the audio was way to loud, but I already got 47 seconds of fretting!

Puppetz, thanks!

(I didn't really thought you fretters were dull <hides>)

Well the volume button is on V, if the song is too loud! you copy paste by Holding SHIFT, and just go upwards on the fretboard, or even faster page up... or until the end "END" button... then just COPY+C, and CTRL+V where you wanna paste it... Very simple... :p

Well I can't help you with anchors really...so don't ask me about them! And you think you're fast? After 10 dB songs, I think you'll achieve the "fast status"!?! Oh and I dunno if it's fun, I haven't really had that feeling in a looong time (too familiar to me :p)

I find it's fun when you fret a really hard solo, and then laugh to yourself at the puny humans that are going to try to FC it xD

Yes, I usually wonder how the real guitarist can pull off something like that too.. :p

[Maartah]

Well, instead of faster, I should've posted "less slow", I guess ;]

EDIT

w00t I finished my first song! it took me about 80 mins to fret 1 min, but after a solid 5 hours of work I'm done!
It's amazing only, after 4 hours straight I just couldn't make a medium...

Ill let you, as the maker of this tutorial, play it first, so you can determine if you like it or not. If I'm honest, I think it's OK for a first song.

I got a question.
I fretted the song, but what am i supposed to do with the created .chart files?

[Kotti]

How many people have fretted anything with this? Now I can only list like 4 names. More people should start using this method, it's way more accurate than fretting by ear.

Just started fretting Fields of Despair, 1 minute done. I'm officually addicted.

[BSRaven]

I attempted to use this method and failed friggin' miserably (Superheroes for FOF Hero)

[Inapprope]

Just started fretting one song with this technique, thinking it was going to be VERY difficult. But it is a lot easier than I expected, not to mention a hell of a lot more accurate. Expect to see my first real song soon. Thanks Puppetz!
I am now also officially addicted.

[RealCheese]

Umm... Here ya go... Please tell me something... Amazing only. Are they synced? Good notes? Something?
False Pretense <-> The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Helicopter <-> Bloc Party (better version than GH3, I think)

The only thing that I'm having trouble with is that I can't have the mp3 and the notes on at the same time. I go to new song for the mp3 then load chart that I got from the tabs, but the music goes away. How do I get it to work?

[Kotti]

How do you know how much you have to change the BPM? I'm now doing Kings of whatever for a friend, and this time I don't want to do the BPM changes the same way I did in AtWM (random numbers!). Example:

How much is one horisontal line? Or do you have any guidelines at all for this?
