Warheart, and other "tappers": what method do you use when you make tabs? Do you try to figure out the scale, do you slow down the tempo, like with "transcripe!" ? Do you play first on your guitar, and then put them to GP?
Tell me something what makes my tap making easier![]()
I almost always have a guitar to mess about on when I'm tabbing otherwise it could double the time that it takes to finish something and I don't want that since it takes me long enough as it is. I get bored and distracted after like 30minutes nowadays. I've tabbed a Paul Gilbert related song with just my ears and no guitar but it wasn't that hard to play so there wasn't anything that I needed a guitar for, I just used my theory knowledge and figured out what's coming next.
Hi, this post is very informative; however I would like some specific information. If someone can help me then please send me a private message. Best Regards,

Ok, let's solve the mistery of tabbing out most metal-lead lines by ear:
Learn the modes (ionian/dorian/phrygian/lydian/mixolydian/aeolian[natural minor], harmonic minor, melodic minor/ lokrian) + scales like the diminished one. Especially in 3-note-per-string-patterns.
And with "learning" I mean: They have to be in your blood. You should be able to play them on each step even if someone wakes you up at 3 o'clock in the morning. I'm still glad, that my first guitar teacher forced me to learn them.
I know that it sounds a bit dogmatic. But when you have played the scales very, very often, figuring out lead-lines becomes easier and easier.
Perhaps the other tabbers will rip me now, but it worked for me, hehe.
P.S. I don't know the right english words for the modes, sorry.
Even though this works more than well, learning all the modes is more than necessary for tabbing out almost all metal. Simply learning major/minor and maybe harm. minor and diminshed should suffice.
you spelled them all right except for loCrianCorny said:P.S. I don't know the right english words for the modes, sorry.

Oh thanks.I think just also getting certain patterns in your ear helps too. Like the Malmsteen "down a third, up a diatonic step" deal. However corny has a great point. Which btw, you spelled them all right except for loCrian![]()
That is just a standard Paul Gilbert string skipping sequence in E minor with a D# added in a times for spice.
The tapping bit is just a simplified version of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons that Paul also played on Guitars From Mars video. All the tabs you need should be on the Racer X forum.
