Any1 know where to get a free guitar pro program or other program that can read gtp files? And.. any guitar tabs website to share? (chinese/english)

Ahh its been awhile since Ive been on any of those websites. and I dont think i have it on my comp anymore but lemme do some quick searching *pause to look* (im looking them up as im typing this)

this place is very good for very accurate tabs, I always use this

As for gtp, you need Guitar Pro for that, but unfortunately its not free

But if you want it free go here 8-)

Btw how long have you been playing the guitar? Im going on like 8 years, but i pick it up and play it on and off all the time

I dont remember when i started playing a guitar but no formal lessons though, just learn from my bro and internet. I came across quite a number of gtp files and i cant read em =(

Dragonis · 07-20-2007, 03:08 PM

yeah download guitar pro... there was another program I used to use though, it might be GP but i cant exactly remember. But its very useful. I had formal lessons for about 3 years on and off. The rest I just taught myself. Its fun, i usually jam out for about 2 hours a day

MaxSan · 07-20-2007, 03:33 PM

U have frens to jam with eh? It's cool to jam with frens
I tried the guitar pro demo version but i cant open a gtp file, it's saying incorrect parameter. Oh well.. guess i just have to read regular tabs =(

lol Ive been playing for awhile but Im still not that good, I play like for a couple months then I just put it down for awhile. I dunno I do that with alot of things, cant explain why. I cycle through playing games like that too

MaxSan · 07-21-2007, 02:13 AM

Oh ya.. what type of guitar strings do u guys use? Does nylon strings help prevents my fingers from hurting so much? I dont like my finger to be so rough ~.~

Dragonis · 07-21-2007, 12:03 PM

I dont like nylon strings, I just use regular ones, lol i dunno what they're made out of. Plus i use a pick while I play so other then the occasional brush up against my strings with my fingers, that really doesnt bother me

MaxSan · 07-21-2007, 11:23 PM

I was talking about my left hand fingers

Dragonis · 07-21-2007, 11:37 PM

oh lol... duh, i wasnt even thinking about that, i thought u ment u play the strings with ur hand, my dad does that. Yeah still either way I dont like nylon, im used to regular strings, and they just feel right on my fingers. eventually your fingers build up calluses and it doesnt even hurt or anything to play and move all around on the strings. I remember when I played alot my fingers were like that and I could slid all around doing solos an it just felt cool

MaxSan · 07-22-2007, 01:52 AM

I dont want my fingers to have calluses that's why i asked if nylon strings are less friction. Or maybe there's some kind of finger protector?

Dragonis · 07-22-2007, 04:04 AM

well if you want less friction yeah go for nylon strings, I just dont like them cause they dont feel real to me, they're like plastic-y kinda. But there probably are some kind of finger guards out there, i wouldnt be surprised, Ive never seen any though. but yeah nylon might be your kinda thing
