![]() That’s it! Please feel free to leave comments, especially concerning the advertising I’ve added to the site. Pedro the Lion – I Am Always The One Who Calls I’ll also be supplementing all future blog guitar lessons with GP files.Ĭlick hear to learn more about Guitar Pro and watch my little video tour of the program. Think of the chord charts as Cliff’s Notes, and the GP songs as the unabridged versions. I’ve started adding links to Guitar Pro song files on some of my more popular song pages. ![]() Experts and teachers love this program, too. If you’re interested in learning how to pick individual notes, add a cool riff to your repertoire, or learn your first guitar solo, Guitar Pro makes it a lot easier. Being able to play back written music so that you can hear how it’s supposed to sound makes learning so much more efficient. Download song, convert, and print.įor the past few years, I’ve been using the tablature editor/player Guitar Pro to teach myself new songs and write out music for my students when chord charts don’t show enough detail. Bill Gates will still be able to pay his mortgage if you use this great free online service that converts Word docs to PDF docs (chances are good you have Adobe Acrobat, which reads PDF’s). And when it’s time to play, don’t forget music stands and light sources (headlamps work well) if your eyes are like mine.Īll the songs can be found on my Free Guitar Chords page.Īnd if you don’t have MS Word, or have an old version that won’t read your song file, you don’t have to go out and buy it. No more frantic page flips to take the oomph out of your orgasmic pre-choruses!īetter yet, make two or three binders so that other musicians can get in on the fun, page numbers and a table of contents for easy navigation, and a stack of lyric sheets for singers (paste all songs into one document and delete all guitar information, just leaving lyrics). Punch holes in both sides of each page, and orient them so that both pages (most songs are two pages long) face one other. Print twenty of your favorite songs and keep them in a binder to bring to parties, camping trips, etc. Now go make a songbook, if you don’t have one already. Click the link, and either save the song on your hard drive or open it in Word and print it. ![]() So I’ve added a “Print or Save” link to the top of every song page that links to the original MS Word document. I recently started doing some limited advertising on my site, and realize that this will make printed song pages even more cluttered. But I wince when I see what their web browsers did to my careful formatting-chords aren’t aligned with lyrics, margins are miniscule so that binder ring holes obliterate information, and there’s tacky-looking text at the top and bottom of every page. One of the fun things about having a popular guitar instruction website is bumping into people (usually at guitar camp) who’ve printed music from my site to make songbooks. I want to let you know about several updates I’ve made to the website.
