Dear forum,

here's my problem. I played some songs including "guitar parts"on a M-audio keyboard. I have now a guitar and I'd like to play my own riffs on it. But I don't remember what the parts were and even If I did I'm not trained enough to make direct transpositions that wouldn't be painful and time-consuming. My questions are

1) Is it possible, to make things jut a little easier, to print the scores that appear in garageband - so I can try from the notes.

2) would guitar pro enables me to get scores or still better chord tabs directly or indirectly from the songs themselves ?

3) Do you find guitar pro useful ? And what for ?

hey man, ask Drakonis or Alimar. They are the ones who know all of this stuff.

The scoring/notation feature of GarageBand only works with MIDI tracks. Real Audio tracks are not able to be shown in the notation mode.

Edit: Follow what Kristyjo says below... (I misread your question).

Myshkin recently mentioned something that scores direct from audio.

Forgot the details though...

If the score already appears in garageband, (meaning your riffs were 'recorded' in MIDI) you can take a screen shot of the first line (control, shift 4 at the same time), move the music to the next place, take another screen shot, etc. Then, put them in order in a word processiong program (I still use Appleworks, and it works fine for this.) Then print. this is a good quickie score. If I want something good that will be read by other people, I transcribe it into Finale.

Yup. That was it. Thanks!

I haven't tried it either. Maybe CJ can give it a try and let us know!?

Thanks to all for answering this. I've been told by a salesman that guitar pro wasn't going any help in that matter. I'll try what has been suggested one of these days and see what I get.
