Extracting tabs from an official song?

[justgimmethefunk]

Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible (authorized?) to extract a GP tab from an official RS2014 song?

I know the Toolkit can do this now, so I've been looking for psarc files of official songs but couldn't find anything so I'm guessing it's not possible but who knows?

 

I'm stuck at 98.2% on 'Impossible Dreams' and I'd like to work on it on my own time, maybe bring it to my bass teacher.

 

 

Thanks!

It is possible.  I can't remember the name of the file, but it's in the main RS folder.  I extracted the GP files for all of the songs a while ago...

 

Here you go:

Thank you very much!! I was looking for individual psarc files, one per song, but it seems all songs have been packed into one big 980Mb file named songs.psarc

Yeah, that's the one.  Sorry, I couldn't remember the name of it before, and I wasn't at home to check.

If you use the standalone RocksmithToTab (www.rocksmithtotab.de), the GUI will automatically convert every song you have installed for you. No need to select individual psarcs :)

 

(The toolkit tab export is actually just a frontend for RocksmithToTab. Except for ASCII export, that's not supported by RocksmithToTab.)

Could you please share Tom Petty's Good Enough? When I open the tab in GP it comes with an error and it's useless.

anyone, please?

Unfortunately, a few of the exported gp5 tabs are broken in a way that Guitar Pro 5 can't open them. This is one of them. You can, however, open it in TuxGuitar, since TuxGuitar is a little less sensitive in that regard. If you then save it in TuxGuitar, it will work in Guitar Pro, too.

 

I still have to figure out what the original problem is. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If somebody can send me an affected GP5 file, I'll see if I can find out what's wrong with it.

yeh I wanted songs like Mississippi queen, barracuda, and american woman, I opened the xml files inside of eof and the notes are scattered through the difficulty levels, meaning even the highest difficulty level doesn't have all the notes mainly just the solo and hard riffs with lots of notes

[cabalistic]

That's true for every arrangement, but RocksmithToTab assembles them together to produce the full tab.

I see ill give it a shot, but I have no idea how to use

[cabalistic]

Just run the RocksmithToTabGUI.exe, it should auto-detect your Rocksmith 2014 directory and then convert any song you have installed.

alright cheers

You can also open the XML file in EOF, change to the highest used difficulty in a track and use the Track menu function to flatten the difficulty. It will add all the lower difficulties' notes to the active one so you can see the 100% leveled track.
