Question

Hi,

 

How am I supposed to enter a capo'd tab in order to play it correctly in Rocksmith?

 

I created a good chunk of my tab in TuxGuitar (TG) but i'm not all done yet. In order to test, I loaded in Rocksmith but I found that it was too hard to play. However, with a capo, it's much better. So I offset my tab by 1 in TG. In EOF, I said to put a capo but now, everything is off by... two I think.

 

Anyway, if I want to play an F with a capo on the first fret, what am I supposed to put in my tabbing software? Am I supposed to enter 1, which is the correct fret, or 0? I'm a bit flummoxed.

 

Thanks,

 

L

When you set a capo, the capo becomes the new nut position. You shouldn't change all the fret values AND add a capo because that makes twice the amount of needed changes.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, I should shift my tab to simulate that I am playing on E with open strings, instead of fretting the F and the Bb. That makes sense. I'll try it tomorrow to see.

 

Thanks,
