so, please explain it to me, uhm, so the songs are one octave down in guitar pro only, but when you play the tabs in a normal guitar with normal tuning, it would sound fine? is that it? btw, i will try the view>hide method. if it doesn't work, i'll probably take a screenshot. thanks

Does that mean you do all the parts at the same time? Changing the tuning, GENIUS why didn't I ever think of that? Quote:

I probably got more incredulous comments for suddenly being really really into playing the bass and very quickly owning three of them than any connection to K-On. It's not an instrument people think of someone choosing as a hobby.

If you guys are okay with this, I'll try to scan and clean a good chunk of these, upload them and send those willing people the URL to the folder. From there, you can all split it amongst yourselves on who will do what. I've been busy on my end, but I should be free all of Sunday to try and do this. (・ε・)ノ And if I'm missing a page again, you have to catch me by Oct 26 22:00 EST since I'm gone gone the next ten days. Or find someone else with the book. ゚ヽ(*´∀`)ノ Quote:
And it's been said time and time again. Everyone needs that push to learn something, so K-On being your push to learn an instrument isn't a big deal. ( ¯3¯)y-~

Ok...I'm not trying to be an ass or anything...but... The only reason anything would sound an octave lower or higher is if the person who tabbed it didn't tab it right. You have an entire 88 key keyboard to work with as far as range, and I think you'll be extremely hard pressed to find a song that for some reason goes beyond that range. It's simply untrue that guitar tabs are played an octave "down". That doesn't even mean anything or make sense. The K-On songs are pretty much all in standard tuning, and we should all be as well, along with the tabs. For example a C power chord written out |---| |---| |-5-| |-5-| |-3-| |---| or |-----| |-----| |-----| |-10-| |-10-| |-8--| The notes for both these shapes are C3, G3 and C4. If a K-On song uses a C power chord. It's gonna be this chord. Those notes, same pitch/octave. If you write it out in GP, its going to be those notes. The same pitch/octave. You can play this same chord on a piano. Same notes, same pitch/octave. I think maybe you guys are getting your wording confused or something. It's not that a guitar plays notes "lower" than a piano. It just has a different range. The basic 24 fret guitar goes from E2 to E6, which is a pretty big range. A violin can go from G3 to E7 A piano has a range from A0 to A8. Meaning with a piano you can encompass all the notes a guitar can play. If you tell someone to play a C chord, and they are a piano player, they could play a C in 7 different octaves. However, since we are all discussing guitar, when you simply say C to a guitarist. 9 times out of ten, its C3, G3, C4, E4. With other chords, like just say.. E for example. Standard tuning allows for you to play an E |-0-| |-0-| |-1-| |-2-| |-2-| |-0-| OR |-7-| |-9-| |-9-| |-9-| |-7-| |---| One beginning in E2, the other E3. If a song calls for E, (and plenty of K-On songs seem to be in the key of E) you can technically play either one and it'll work. However, listening to the song you can easily tell which one it is. So to recap, unless someone screwed up in tabbing. Every has tab has little choice but to be correct when it comes to being in the right octave. Now if we're talking about just the vocal melody, then someone could easily screw that up and put it in the wrong octave. Especially since there are harmonies and multiple vocal tracks in the actual song. However, since you have a full piano range in GuitarPro there is no reason they shouldn't be the right pitch/octave. Especially the keyboard parts. Last edited by CadetPD; 2010-10-23 at 01:23. |

Spoiler for Save Space:
No, we're not talking about the chord octaves but the actual tuning to reach the octaves is what we're talking about. Because Guitar Pro can only go as high a standard 24-30 fret guitar, the highest possible note you can play is an A#7 and as you said before the highest on a piano is A8 making it a 11 semi-tone difference. In anycase, the official scores only tell what notes are being played, (i.e. C Chord - C E G) but not what octave they are played at. Dear My Keys is a good example because the written official score has it written as just the chords and individual notes. Therefore, the person tabbing the songs would also have to change the tuning of the guitar to match the octave pitch being played from the original song (Instead of C3 E3 G3 turns into C4 E4 G4 but the score says to play C E G). |

Right, so all the person has to do is sit down and listen to the song and then match the pitch, which isn't difficult. But like I was saying for guitar, it's not like there's much mystery as to what octave the chord or note is going to be in.
If the band score says play an E chord on the guitar. It could really only be one of 2 things unless otherwise specified that there is a super specific voicing (but thats very rare for K-On since its mostly power chords) It's not as if its up for debate what octave that E is going to be in. It's going to be the natural and logical E chord on a guitar. In the rare cases it's not that's why you listen to the song. There's no reason to change the tuning of the guitar on your actual guitar or in GP to match the K-On songs. I did not realize it wasn't a full keyboard in GP, however that still doesn't matter as I don't think there's a single K-On song that hits any notes past that. Quote:
Again, I'm just repeating myself but; there's no reason to change the tuning of a guitar as the score assumes its in standard eADGBE tuning. If the score tells you to play a C chord, play a C chord. Unless of course you're talking about changing the tuning of the guitar track IN guitar pro in order to get the vocals and keyboards right. Which I know you were mentioning those being in the wrong octave. But I was just pointing out some misconceptions about the guitar tabs that seemed to be afloat. lol, this is getting more confusing because we are talking about playing guitar, guitar tabs, tabbing keyboards USING guitar tracks and guitar tabbing software >___< Last edited by CadetPD; 2010-10-23 at 03:24. |

Utauyo!!MIRACLE
Without vocals as usual I was going to make a joke here but I didn't bother @cadetpd we're not retuning any guitars here, we're retuning pianos on gp5. The reason being that the convention is for guitar parts to be written an octave lower than most other instruments, so if we're using gp5 which is based on guitar notation, to make pianos and such sound right, we're retuning that track. that's all. |

Wow. I thought voices and piano was just done an octave higher on Guitar Pro because Guitar Pro doesn't have bass clef for it's tracks (asides for the bass itself). So if it was done regularly for piano, you'd be missing half of the notes on the lower spectrum (the ones of the bass clef).
