Bradley Hall's Guitar School Guitar Transcribing Masterclass [TUTORiAL]

It's one thing being able to play guitar well, but if your goal is to become the best musician you can possibly be then you also need to understand how to write and read music! "Transcription" is the action of writing down music into tab or standard notation, and is unfortunately a skill that many guitarists have a huge gap in knowledge in. Whether your aim is to immortalize your own music, or to transcribe your favorite solos and riffs by other artists, it's super important that you spend some honing this skill! So in today's masterclass I give you a thorough rundown of Guitar Pro, the industry standard software for guitar transcribing, and show you all of the tools necessary to create pro-quality tabs. It doesn't matter if you don't use Guitar Pro specifically - pretty much everything mentioned in this video is transferrable to other apps. Good luck and please do let me know if you have any questions! 0:00 Intro 1:02 Getting started 1:42 Song and track settings 3:48 Main control panel 5:59 Layout settings 7:20 Track manager and timeline 8:26 Notation control panel 10:45 How to write notes out 18:27 Rests 19:54 Dotted notes 21:34 Triplets and tuplets 24:26 Tied notes 27:25 Introducing next segment 27:56 Accents 28:26 Staccato 28:52 Let-ring 29:37 Palm muting 29:56 Dead notes 30:40 Harmonics 32:25 Bends 34:35 Whammy bar 36:05 Vibrato 37:05 Pick scrapes 37:45 Slides 41:51 Hammer-ons, pull-offs and hammer-ons-from-nowhere 43:53 Tapping 44:46 Thumping 45:05 Fingering directions 46:32 Strum directions 47:33 Picking directions 48:05 Grace notes 49:46 Trills 51:00 Fade-ins and fade-outs 51:30 Chords 52:15 Text directions 52:34 Tempo and time signature automations 54:09 Repeats 55:19 Adding extra tracks 57:29 Markers
