Members Devlin Posted December 1, 2009 Members Posted December 1, 2009 I'm looking for a tab for Inner Dream by Gordon Giltrap. I can't find one anywhere... does anyone know of one? Or why it might not be widely available...? (Wasn't sure where to post this...!)
Members Jasco Posted December 1, 2009 Members Posted December 1, 2009 After a quick google search I couldn't find anything either, so as much as most people hate to hear this, you may have to transcribe it yourself. However, if you post a link to the tune here, some of the talented folks here may transcribe some of it for you, or may help you if you post your attempts at transcribing it. If I discover any further info for tabs for this tune I'll let you know.
Members Devlin Posted December 1, 2009 Author Members Posted December 1, 2009 Awesome, good thinking... I'll have a look tonight see if I get chance to find it. I'll be honest, I've never transcribed anything, so might be fun!

Members Devlin Posted December 2, 2009 Author Members Posted December 2, 2009 So I've noticed, but I reckon it's a skill everyone guitartist should have. I've just rarely had the chance (or skill...) to do it!

Members GreenAsJade Posted December 2, 2009 Members Posted December 2, 2009 No worries Pop a review of the lessons here, make me a happy man ... GaJ
Members jeremy_green Posted December 2, 2009 Members Posted December 2, 2009 Transcribing is THE key step to becoming a really good player IMO. I know I have said it before but it is like an epiphany for me after all these years. Every article I read every high level player I talk to these guys talk of " learning album X note for note" Get good at it. It's fun and every new song is like a lesson to itself. But to get the benefits you must use your ear. Not some TAB. Just my opinion
Moderators Jed Posted December 2, 2009 Moderators Posted December 2, 2009 Most people just call me bad names when I mention transcribing something themselves. LOL So since Devlin didn't take up the challenge, should start throwing names around on his behalf?

But to get the benefits you must use your ear. Not some TAB. Just my opinion I agree wholeheartidly Jeremy (like most stuff you say!), it is a needed skill, and one I wish I had worked on more. I don't have as much time to play/learn as I want, busy life! But I guess, the time I spend trying to learn tabs could be much better spent doing this. Can anyone reccomend any programs to help? I know most sites suggest slowing the musical piece down to aid you in transcribing.
Members jeremy_green Posted December 2, 2009 Members Posted December 2, 2009 Transcribe is a very good app. QuickTime has a slowdown feature and it's free and works with that stupid secure mp4s you get on the iTunes store. Plus it's free! Not as good though but does the trick for me in a jam. It is time very well spent. Once you are good at this you have instant access to any song on the planet. No more searching for songbooks etc. Give it a go. With a good ear and a little understanding of theory it's quite easy. Generally speaking : ) good luck bro. Any questions or help needed we are all here
Members GreenAsJade Posted December 2, 2009 Members Posted December 2, 2009 Transcribe I reckon is the way to go. QuickTime and Windows Media Player have a slow down feature, but aren't fundamentally designed to help you transcribe. Transcribe has ease of use like zooming on the waveform to loop exactly a segment, marking the waveform for timing, saving loops/settings, adjusting the pitch if the original tuning is off, analysis of the notes at any point, including display of the harmonic components and guess of the chord being played (I never use the latter, but it's there), inverted L/R mix to take out mid-field instruments, blah blah blah. I don't have any vested interest in it, I just think it's good There's also The Amazing Slow Downer. They are reasonably comparable programs, and in fact I started with TASD, but for some reason once I started using Transcribe, I preferred it. Just for balance, let me raise on item I don't like about Transcribe. The author struck me as extremely resistant to any suggestions for improvement. I find this wierd. For example, it would be great if you could loop a section at a gradually increasing speed (an increment each time, like GuitarPro does). But the dude is not interested in that. Not as in "maybe, if I have time", but rather "no, I'm not going to do that" At least he's honest Cheers, GaJ
