Tablature Recording (2 options) |
| a.
Recorded Instrument -
Tab is played (on the desired instrument) and recorded as an MP3
file so you can hear how it should sound. The tab will played
through at two speeds for ease of learning. This service can be
especially helpful when ordering Custom Composing. (Service no. 2 above)
b. MIDI audio file - This audio file of your tab
consists of computer generate tones that simulate instrument sound. Your
tab is entered note-by-note into "TablEdit", a special
computer program that can play the tab back at any speed and create
a MIDI file of the playback. This file can be played on "Windows
Media Player" through your computer speakers, as well as other
computer programs. With "Windows Media Player", you can
usually vary the playback speed of your MIDI file so you can hear
it (and play along, if you like) at different speeds. Although
the tone will not sound exactly like a real instrument, the
notes are 100% correct in pitch and timing. Most customers say it
works very well for them.
(Note: Pricing for Tab Recording differs depending on whether
it is an upgrade to a transcribing or composing order, or an order
strictly for Tab Recording.)

2. Custom Arranging |
|
A solo or backup can be created to your specifications and written
out for any song you send. The song may already have a solo or
backup, but you may want something different that suits you. Or,
there may not be a solo on the instrument you desire.
Or, the
original recording may not contain any solo or backup at all.
Especially in the latter case, you may want to take advantage of
"Tablature Recording"
(Upgrade Option 1. below) so you can hear exactly how the
tablature should sound.
Please describe
in detail the type of solo or backup you prefer. (Examples:
1. simple beginner 2. advanced 3. lots of flashy licks 4.
basic, emphasizing melody, etc.) If you want to send a
sample of tablature with characteristics similar to the one you
are wanting composed, that can be helpful.

Lyrics with Tab |
|
Especially helpful
with Custom Arranging orders, lyrics are entered underneath the
tablature. Each word (or syllable) is lined up directly under the
note that represents it, giving you a better idea of where the
melody notes lie among the fill notes. This can make the
arrangement much easier to learn, especially if you have no
recording to go by.
