Hey, guys. I paid $30 for some tabs, but they're way too hard for me to work out. It's mostly the timing I'm struggling with (I'm used to yousician and songsterr telling me when to play a note) and my ear isn't good enough to work it out just from listening to the original song. Is there any software that can either output the audio or even just add a timing guide like songsterr? Thanks.

You have the tabs. Just put them into guitar pro (or any other notation software) yourself. It's about 10 minutes of work for a experienced user, about 25 for someone who never used GP before, I'd assume.

From the software you can play or export the audio.

Edit: A free (but IMO worse) alternative to GP is TuxGuitar

Do you have gdrive or something similar to share the files? All I would need are the pdfs and the bpm to export you an mp3. It’s best to learn it by yourself but should you struggle with it, hit me up.

Thanks! I've made some progress on the simplest of the tracks, but I know I'm going to have a hard time with the other two.

I've mostly worked this last one out, but it doesn't hurt to check!

I really appreciate this, man.

Ok so MuseScore unfortunately won’t accept the PDF files, but I‘m tabbing out the Main Theme as we speak. I don‘t know if I‘ll be able to work out the others due to the time it takes to manually tab them, but I‘ll at least get you the Main Theme done. I‘ll hit you up ASA I‘m done.

Thanks! That's great! You didn't have to go to all that trouble!

Don't worry about it!

Musescore has tablature format. As @Niiru said transcribe them yourself. Simply putting them into musescore yourself will help you learn the timing you're struggling with, and other good things about the music. And when you are ready to practice on bass again this work will translate. You will surprise yourself. Get your $30 worth!

(And musescore will playback the audio too)

Thanks! I'm gonna look it up and hope it works on my ancient windows 7 netbook :)
