One year of tabbing. A little story for ya. I was thinking of learning how to play bass just before Christmas of 2016. I decided to follow pages about bass and I found this page which posted all sorts of stuff. Bands, bass guitars, bass players. I unfollowed it earlier this year due to its… weird 12 year old teenager syndrome obsession with half naked women. However, it did post something really good, where I found this band called ‘The Omnific’ which is a bass band that plays jazz… or bazz, djent. With this thing called Djent. I listened to their songs and they are amazing. This really inspired me to pick up a bass. I tabbed one of their songs in early November 2016, which was my first ever guitar tab and bass tab. But it sucked. I managed to get some notes right. But it was bad. Funny enough, around December, as a Christmas present for their fans, they released the tabs, for me as a beginner bassist with my new bass, I was just sitting in my seat in joy. The tabs were real, and I played them. Thanks to them, I play bass. And tab it too. So later on, if I decided to learn a song I really want to play, I would need to learn how to tab. I can edit midi’s. But not tabs. Long story short. In a year of learning how to tab. I can now tab songs from Demetori, CROW’SCLAW, and now BLANKFIELD. It took me just a year which is possibly really insane. For others, it has taken twenty years to become this good at tabbing. But here’s the strange thing. I began tabbing with a guitar. This is what’s gonna catch a lot of people off guard Evil laugh. I have only ever used my guitar three times to tab songs. I have tabbed 24 songs. 3 of them required a guitar to find the notes. How the hell did I tab without a guitar? Easy, Tux Guitar. I find their playback more accurate than my guitar strings since they are in tune. And it’s easier to memorise in a way. My hardest tab had to be Eastern Dream since I had never attempted to tab an Acoustic Guitar before. My easiest tab is possibly Jupiter One – Fire Away. My worst tab has to be between ZHIEND – Scar On Face, and Megaman Zero 4 – Freesia. 24 songs learned by ear and tabbed, over 40 arrangements in total, later. Here I am. Rock you like a hurricane! I haven’t just been tabbing either. I’ve been editing Midi’s. As you probably know. I’ve been doing it for around two years now. I wanted to edit Midi’s because there sometimes can only exist a tab within Midi’s. Midi’s being a compressed version of a guitar tab with no techniques or style, just notes and arrangements. 24 midi’s edited… strangely. I’m quite happy about this though. There’s more I haven’t mentioned for both tabs and midi’s. I come with a question too. Does anyone want my guitar tabs and or midi’s? I ask this because I’ve been mostly making tabs privately due to the terrible Ultimate Guitar community who can’t give me any useful feedback. They only ever gave me insults, so I told them to shove it and try to do it better themselves. And Songsterr are just trolls. They let anyone edit a tab and upload it which is sad. Some notes I wrote for the tabs: Proudest Tabs: Crow'sclaw - Castle of the East. I thought it was very accurate and this is my proudest tab so far. Blankfield - Airspace. It went better than expected. Notes: ALL TABS I CREATED OR EDITED, were done so with the intention of being used for Rocksmith 2014 CDLC. Border Of Life's Lead wasn't tabbed my be. However, I did improve it. Oriental Dark Flight Lead was aimed to capture as much of the keyboard arrangement as possible, but it was difficult. Fleeting Reality - The lead introduction, mid, and outro was tabbed by a user on Ultimate Guitar called NSpen1 Eastern Dream - Interesting story behind this. The guitar tab is out of sync and innacurate because I had problems during this tab. This is important, ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF. I did not do that. I saved my EOF file several times luckily, so I converted it into a CDLC and converted the CDLC file to a guitar tab. The tab itself was missing a lot of techniques. I lost over half of the tab. The powercut happened whilst I was saving, really unlucky, a second sooner, it would have been fine. So I finished the tab this way, and because it was so innacurate. I made the tab for bass seperately. Flow My Tears The Said - Lead and part of Rhythm was tabbed by NONSEQUITURSNOWMAN. Type A Personality - Had an existing tab for lead, I tabbed the Rhythm Ray Of Light - I only tabbed the Bass. I really liked the bass in this song. Freesia - I'm ashamed of this tab to be honest. I was going to tab the VOCALS of all things. I mean make it into a guitar arrangement. The bass is okay, but it's not great. Leaving The World Behind - I'm slightly shamed by this tab. I didn't know anything about BPM when I tabbed this, lead is mostly accurate, the outro of it isn't. I watched a lesson of how to play this song to make the lead. And the other arrangements just tabbed by me. MIDI's: The Transformers Theme - This was a guitar tab when I acquired it. But, it wasn't accurate. It only had very few edits. And it was clear this tab was actually a midi by the missing notation and techniques. Those Who Bear Their Name - Clear midi. Lack of techniques and the bass, sadly wasn't right. I put another midi with this to get the bass that it has now. What am I gonna do now? My last tab is coming out soon. I’m taking a long break for it since some communities are still making tabs for songs. I just wish they would make them for bands with not as much love. BLANKFIELD, CROW’SCLAW, Demetori, Transformers Devestation, Sonic games, Cover bands or coverers (331Erock, FamilyJules7x) After this last tab, I’m going to start work on Midi’s and CDLC’s. I’m done with tabbing by ear for a while. Though I have much to get through, I think I’m in need of a break from what requires full focus from me a lot of the time. I want to focus on video games in my break. Hopefully when I come back, some more tabs would come out for songs I was going to tab. The games I plan on playing are the following. Heroes of the Storm (Daily Quests) Diablo 3, Destiny 2, Starcraft 1 Remasterd & 2, World of Warcraft, and perhaps a bit of Overwatch. Very Blizzard app heavy, but I am curious what the stories are behind my favourite HoTS characters. Li Li, Auriel, Tyrael, Brightwing, Tychus, Raynor, Kerrigan, Abathur, Dehaka, Sylvannas.
