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 :)

Oh man! This is so good! No more pausing riff repeater while notes fly by.

I can learn anything now, given time.

What is amazing is not just that it works, but it does hundreds of songs in seconds. I recommend RocksmithToTab and Guitar Pro 5 to anyone wanting to read their tabs from Rocksmith.

Great job Thanks. 

Cheers,

This tool is amazing!  Thank you!

It can't export to gp7s native GP file format but you can open GP5/GPX tabs in guitar pro 7 so it shouldn't mater. None of the gp7 exclusive features would ever be used since everything has to be converted to gp5 for eof anyway.  If you need to you can convert the output to GP in guitar pro 7 afterwards but I can't see any benefit to doing so.

Then if i understand good, if i buy and use Guitar Pro 7 for read tablatures extract from Rocksmith by RocksmithToTab, it's work but if i wish use files from GP 7 to GP 6 or 5, it doesn't work, correct or not ?

Sorry for my english.

Guitar pro 7 can read GP6 and GP5 files so it should work just fine

With Guitar Pro 7. i can read tablature in format .gp5 but no voice ... how can i activate the voice please ?

 

I just want to add another Thank You! Simple yet very important to continue practice without the computer around! 🙂

Thank you for this awesome tool! I've exported the whole library and imported it into MuseScore just fine, it's looking amazing.

I do have a question though if anyone is able to answer please? I can't seem to find any way in MuseScore to separate the tab from the notation. I'd like to have just the bass tab numbers to print out, but it's stuck together with the music notes whatever-you-call-them, which seems a little redundant as I won't need to look at both versions at the same time.

Is it possible to remove these in MuseScore, or should I try a different program?

Click Edit/Instruments and remove the top stave.

Thank you for the fast response! I had to go into the instrument dropdown and specifically set it to "tab" otherwise it still showed the notation form. Just what I needed, thanks again 🙂

I'd stick with that bro, i'ts teaching you how to read sheet music on the sly.

 

Got tabs on bands that does not even have any tabs writen anywhere online. Thanks so much! 

ok im having a dumb moment here, i used the rocksmith to tab GUI and it pulled a bunch of songs from the game but none of my custom DLC. the rocksmithtotab.exe doesn't run on my PC, just pops up and says it wont work, any suggestions? I'm not great with PCs

была бы еще программа TabToRocksmith, чтобы можно было все свои песни в rocksmith загружать, так как некоторые песни платные ODLC, а некоторых попросту нет.

Ok, I just tried this out, and all I can say is THANK YOU! Musescore is a bit clunky, but it works. This is so much better than the riff repeater, which I don't really like that much. Other than the obvious reasons, the music sounds like nails on a chalk board when it's slowed down.

The original programmer of RocksmithToTab, @ cabalistic , has not updated the project for the last 9 years. This is one of the problems with the last release. You cannot get tabs for CDLC.

Luckily, this issue got solved in a pull request to RocksmithToTab. The link to the solution is here. You can find the updated RocksmithToTab.exe in there too

I wanted to say thank you for this great tool. I was looking for a way to get the tabs for Born Under a Bad Sign and couldn’t find the version in the game. I find that if I play the song in the game and outside the game I retain it a lot better. It took me a while to get it to work, but once I did it worked great. Thank you again.
