How to Add Guitar Tabs to a Video Lesson with Free Programmes

  • This video will show you how to add moving guitar tab to a guitar video lesson. I'll show you to get the tab to playthrough in sync with your playing. I'll be using both Musescore and OBS Studio in this tutorial. Both are free programmes and you can find links to download them below. All you'll need is a program to edit your videos with. I'll be using Adobe Premiere Pro in this tutorial but any video editing software will do and the methods will be the same. I've used Final Cut to make these videos in the past and its the exact same method.
    Having the tab moving along in time with your playing is a great way to improve the production value of your guitar lessons on RUclips and it will really help the people who watch your guitar videos learn the parts.

    What song are you going to make a tab video for?

    • @Jake_and_the_bass
      @Jake_and_the_bass 3 года назад +1

      Inside The Whale - Entwined (Danish 90's grunge band). Sometimes i make tab sheets on paper, other times i just make notes, like:
      A piece
      Chorus
      B piece
      Oooh sound + modulation
      A piece
      Bridge
      ..... and so on.
      I learn songs by seeing others play it (often with on-screen tabs). It would be nice to be able to do the same for others.

      Hey Josh. Nice video.
      So if I use a backing track that is already existing on RUclips can I have copyright issues?? And I guess I should create my own backing track to prevent that right?
      Sorry if it sounds silly but I am completely new to this
      I want to make a tab for the solo of stairway to heaven.

    Jeez this involves more editing than I was expecting. I assumed people were using some specially made software to inject their guitar pro tabs into videos.

    @MrAustinMusic 3 года назад +32

    You can change the page view from "Page View" to "Continuous View" then select only the section of the screen where the tabs are. It'll auto-scroll and you won't have to do nearly as much editing.

      I was thinking exactly that! And that the video would be more loyal to the "Free Programs" concept if you would use DaVinci Resolve, or even better as it is FOSS like OBS and musescore, ShotCut. I was doing this with the sadly outgraded tuxguitar, but thanks to the vs 4 upgrade and this video I guess I got no excuse anymore to not use musescore.

      @@JoshMcGeechan it really is. I do wish that I could simply type in a fret number on a particular string instead of the note though to input the notes. Perhaps that is possible and I just haven’t figured out how to do it. Whenever I click on a particular string I just get a default zero but I can’t seem to change that.

    If you wanted to also have a metronome sounding in the video, is there a way to have the metronome be part of the MuseScore screen recording? Or would you need to track the metronome separately?

    • @JoshMcGeechan
      @JoshMcGeechan  2 года назад +1

      You could record the internal sound to get the metronome but you would also be recording the midi playback. I think it would probably be easiest just to track the metronome separately.
