Ok here it comes in 4 parts as the song took 35+ minutes to record i had to split it for YT. I had initial problems with quality so I had to reload the thing in HD, make sure you select 1080p on the Vid menu bar. As it takes so long this is only part 1

Please note due to usuual vid stress i made a couple of errors I annotate at least one of them , then I mix up my quarters with eighth notes, live with it!! I can lol. I recommend you enlarge the screen

Part 1 .

Great work Chas. I haven't a clue about Guitar Pro so your series might help me understand it's value.

Thanks Tony, This is really quite a simple song but one which includes hammer ons and pull ofs and slides. I could have used the voice function but chose not to to keep it more user friendly, with Voices I would have done the bass line separate. I may go back and do a brief demo of that once people digest this series.

You know team, I have used Guitar Pro from very early on when it was Beta tested , only bought it at ver 3 though. But I have never looked back. Don't be afraid of it, get it play with it, you can't break it and eventually it all falls into place. I don't profess to know all about it yet but thats the mystery of the programme it never stops amazing me, just love it.! Hats off to the Arobas team who design and develop it. Plus I guess a bonus is TG get an extremely small commission of each sale generated from this site, Hmmm Matt can I get a percentage lol!

Chas:

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share this with us. I fiddle with GP, but am still not overly comfortable with it yet. I have trouble with the hammer-ons and pull-offs as well as just getting the timing of the song correct. I am seriously looking forward to your clips! Mighty kind of you!

You know even if you don't use Guitar Pro and don't intend to, I think Chas deserves a big thanks for investing considerable time and effort to help his fellow members. It's this sort of community minded act that makes this a cool place to be.
