![]() I do not believe that it is possible to set the default file format to GP5 in either Guitar Pro 6 or 7. Return to Go PlayAlong and reselect the GP5 file as the source file. When you have finished matching up all the bars, come out of Go PlayAlong and return to Guitar Pro. If the start of a bar does not line up with a spike, use the next closest note: Go PlayAlong can crash, and you will lose all your work. Tip – save your work frequently by clicking on the Finish button, then the Library button and go into the track again. I’d also suggest matching any staccato or “important” notes because then you’ll know that they’re spot on. The program will do this for you but in my experience it’s best to do it manually. This should then give you an idea of where bar 8 begins, and you can see from here that it’s here: Work through the rest of the song lining each beat of the first bar up with the corresponding spike. Either do this by counting to the music and seeing where the next note goes, or you can (in this example), drag the A on the E string in the 7th bar to the next spike on the waveform: Put some headphones on and drag the start of the tab to the start of the waveform:įind where the next bar starts. Now click the arrow to the right of the track and confirm that you want to sync the track. Note that I’ve put a quotation mark in front of the track names – this moves them to the top of the track list so that when we come to export the file to EoF, it’s easier to find. An entry for the new track will appear in the list of songs: Select the Guitar Pro file you save earlier, then select the backing mp3 track. Click the + button at the top of the screen: ![]() I’m using version 3, as I don’t like the changes made to the UI etc in version 4. It will ask you to enter metadata for the song – I recommend doing this, as this data will be picked up later by EoF, and then by the Toolkit, which will save you typing it all in again. Next, use File, Export Audio to save the file to the folder where you saved your Guitar Pro file. ![]() The amplify effect will boost the volume considerably: This means that there should be no adjustments required in the Toolkit later on. It’s always good practice to use Audacity’s Amplify function which makes the song as loud as possible without clipping. Once you’ve got hold of the mp3, open it up in Audacity: You can rip it from YouTube, but the quality can be suspect. I generally create an mp3 from Spotify by recording it in real time in Audacity if I’ve not already got it. The next step is to get hold of the audio. Now create a folder in your Working directory for the new track and save the file there. The first thing to do is to remove all parts apart from the bass track: GP5 files are needed further on in the process. I’ve just discovered that Guitar Pro 7 now exports to GP5 format, which was holding me back from using it. Note – I am using Guitar Pro 6 in this guide. The file which is going to be used is here. We are going to make a bass only custom without lyrics for “Amsterdam” by Nothing But Thieves from a Guitar Pro file.įirst, go to and see if there’s a Guitar Pro file available for the song. I’m just interested in seeing the right notes, in the right order. I have not covered adding Lyrics, as I do not believe that they add anything. Most are produced with the bass part seen as secondary and quite often little attention is paid to accuracy. It is rare to find a Guitar Pro file on Ultimate Guitar which is 100% correct. Once you have mastered using the software involved, I strongly suggest learning how to produce the Guitar Pro files yourself by creating them by ear. The steps in this guide will give you the basics required to create a custom for Rocksmith from a Guitar Pro file.
