RocksmithToTab is a tool which automatically extracts tabs from your Rocksmith songs, including official DLC and CDLCs. When you feel overwhelmed by a song and riff repeater isn't enough to make sense of it, it sometimes helps to be able to look at the tablature. With this tool, you can. The output is stored in Guitar Pro format. If you do not own Guitar Pro 5/6, there are several free alternatives which can open gp5 and gpx files, including TuxGuitar (http://tuxguitar.com.ar, they finally released a new version yesterday!), MuseScore (https://musescore.org) and PowerTab 2 (https://github.com/powertab/powertabeditor).

 

It's been one year and a half since I released the first version of RocksmithToTab. Today, I finally finished the milestone release v1.0. It features a number of bugfixes as well as usability improvements. For more information, please visit the website at http://www.rocksmithtotab.de. You can download the latest release over at FossHub: http://code.fosshub.com/RocksmithToTab/downloads/

 

If you find any bugs or problems with this version, please head over to the issue tracker at https://github.com/fholger/RocksmithToTab/issues. You can also post here, but it's easier for me to keep track of the problems if you report them in the tracker :)

You even thought about ignoring metronome tracks, awesome! :D

 

Now I've got one question left: Can I find a complete list of all available options for the filename template somewhere?

Could you please post it here and / or add it to the readme?

 

Once more: Thank you for this awesome piece of software!

I'm in the process of filling out the documentation on the website. Until then, you'd have to look in the source code, sorry :)

I released a quick update to v1.1. There was a bug that prevented you from using the GUI if you had collected too many ©DLCs. Should be working fine now.

My anti-virus software greatly disliked the current download of Power Tab 2.  Use at your own risk.

 

MuseScore works fine and does not upset the anti-virus, but it crashes with gpx files.  gp5 files are fine.

 

Thanks for the converter!

thank you

Wow, what a tool! Thank you.

Really cool tool to have. Thanks for all the work you've put into this!

Not sure if you're aware, but the there seems to be a bit of bug with 12/8 time signatures. It mistakenly exports them as 12/4 instead.

Unfortunately, Rocksmith tracks only reveal the nominator, not the denominator, of the time signature. So I implemented some guessing into the program, but it doesn't really work too well. I might try and see if I can improve the behaviour a little, but it's never going to be 100% accurate.

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

 

Maybe there would be a way for you to create some logic such as - "if the nominator is 6 (or 12), then change the denominator to 8." 6/8 and 12/8 are much more common than 6/4 and 12/4, so it'd at least be a step in the right direction.

 

Thanks again for the work that you've done so far!

That's one of the limitations EOF ran into for RS import as well. As a workaround, I added logic in the Dec 24, 2015 hotfix so that the created XML files defines a text event for each time signature change (in the format of "TS:#/#"). For newer custom songs, you can check the chart for these events.

Thank you very very much,i was lost fixing one of my custom without my copy of GP tab :).

Thank you so much for this awesome tool!

 

Is there any way of getting the lyrics in as well, they're so useful to figure out where one's at.

What if you don't WANT to convert every song in the RS folder? I only want one song, so I created a directory and put it in there, but the program keeps saying that it's not my Rocksmith directory, and I'm like "duh!". ;)

The GUI frontend can't handle that case. If you only want to convert one file, drag'n'drop it directly onto the RocksmithToTab.exe (no GUI) in the Windows explorer. (Or start it from the command line.)

Or use Toolkit's GUI frontend...

nvm :)
 

The download link does not work :(

Just want to add another thank you for this great tool!

 

Is there any way to add the lyrics in too?

Thanks a lot for this VERY USEFUL tool.

 

It is great to have possibility to work on the tabs in // with Rocksmith.

 

Once again, we will never say it enought : THANKS FOR THE JOB !!!  

 

 

By the way, I have seen some question about list of option for the produced file names :

here is what I have found :

{artist} - {title} - {album} - {year} - {archive} - {version}

 

==> Adding field in file name help to avoid missing charts (2 DLC on the same song will be kept with this details, while you will get only one with a simplified filename such as {artist} - {title}

Thanks for this great tool!

Somehow it even exported tabs for dlc I dont own.. B)

@@RicYin All RS1 DLC are in the same file, so if you own 1 RS1 DLC, you'll get the tab for all of them.

Hi man, I first of want to thank you, I use your tool alot, especially when I make CDLC from text tab or YT covers. And then I can share the .gp files with the original creators ^^

 

I'd like to give you some feedback tho:

Can you add a function where we can convert 1 song at a time? 

(I thought I found this when I saw the ''Export Guitar Pro'' button in EoF, but that just opens the RocksmithToTab and then starts working on the whole collection)

Cause atm the converter does my whole library and that takes a while, when all I want is the new song I just made :P

(what I do now is: move all my cdlc out of the rocksmith map, run converter, then put them back, which seems unneccesarilly much work just to get 1 tab)

 

EDIT: allright I'm now reading the changelog, and noticed you made a 'batch-process' function, I'll check it out, maybe this fullfills my needs ^^

 

EDIT 2: using v1.1 and I can't chose any directory I want, I wanted to see if I can put my CDLC project directory in there, (to just convert 1 .psarc, but that then gives the error, can't find the songs.psarc)

@@PyroBillie You can just drag and drop the file you want the tab for on the RocksmithToTab.exe (not the GUI one) to convert only the file you drop on it.

When you link to the RocksmithToTab utility in EOF, you need to link it to the command line utility (RocksmithToTab.exe) and not the GUI program or you may get the problem you described.
