Could you resend the tabs, but this time save them as .txt files and attach them to the email? They show up all wrong when you paste them int the body of the email. I can't use them like that.

Hey, fellow guitarists. I'm a newb here, and I have no idea how everything works. My first, and most important question regards how to upload tabs. |
Re: Submission Guidelines
archardJoined: Jan 11 2007 |
What don't you understand? Make a new thread and upload or link to the tab. There should be an upload attachment form below the posting box.

So, we just write out the tab, and just post a link? |

you seem to have some policy with plagierism(sp?), archard. You should probably include that in here as well. |

Well I assume if someone's going to submit a tab that it would be their own work. I suppose I should put that in the guidelines though to make it clear.

Hi everyone! Yet again another n00b introducing himself (referring to myself here, that is =). I was just about to submit my first guitar tab until my eye was caught by BluePhoenix's notification about a plagiarism policy. Naturally, posting someone else's work and claiming it's yours is wrong, and against pretty much every forum's policies, but what about posting a tab made by someone else and making clear in the tab who made it? |

What are the submission policies on original compositions (by others, not me), which have only a tenuous link to video games? The song I had in mind was submitted on Newgrounds but wasn't used in any flash games if I remember correctly. |

Well say someone who composes classical music uses Newgrounds simply as an outlet for his work. For example, this song: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/151815 I've collected several nice sounding songs from the site and will start to transcribe them...sometime soon. This is mostly for my own enjoyment, but I'd be happy to upload them here if its fine. |
Re: Submission Guidelines

No, flash games don't count as 'video games' IMO. Feel free to post them on the forum somewhere, but I won't put them on the main site.

I was wondering if using the midi file to write out the tabs is ok. I got plenty of midis that I can run through Sonar and have tabbed. All I'd have to do is test them for playability, and possibly transpose them slightly, but would that be okay? |
Re: Submission Guidelines
archardJoined: Jan 11 2007 |
I don't mind if you use a MIDI to make the tab, but don't just run the MIDI through the program and leave it as is. Use the MIDI to figure out the notes, but the actual creation of the tab should be your work. In other words, make it playable and put your own stamp on it.

Yeah...I was planning on doing that. The decoder I use doesn't exactly know that fingers don't stretch the length of the neck. It once gave me a not structure something like this. e--------------- B----------20----- G----------3----- D-------5-------- A-----16--------- E-1-8------------ because I was trying to tab a violin. |

This may seem silly but I want to make sure before I submit this one... do you need permission from the author of a tab if you based your tab off of their tab to start? For example, I've just about finished a solo guitar arrangement of Ronfaure from Final Fantasy XI and I used Aaron Morison's four guitar transcription as an early base and then it sort of grew on its own from there. It has original sections (well, tabbed by ear), sections based on his tab, and sections that are somewhere inbetween. I've emailed him for permission (and I'm awaiting a response), but is this an example of a case where one would need permission, or are you simply trying to keep people from downloading someone else's tab from another site and submitting it here verbatim? Thank you. I'm sure I'm just thinking too much and making this a bigger deal than it is. :p |
Re: Submission Guidelines
archardJoined: Jan 11 2007 |
If you just based the tab off someone else's then you don't need to ask permission because it's still your work. However, you have to credit the person who's tab you used in your tab.

You have to go to File Browser under My Account. Then you click on the Upload button and browse for whatever it is you are attaching. Then when you create a new forum topic click on the Insert/edit link button and you can browse any files you have uploaded.

Archard, what is your stance on tabs from sheet music. I noticed a few people lately that have been making their tabs using piano sheet music. Is that okay.

hey all, I have a question about posting a tab. I have revised an existing tab which was originally posted by someone else. I found mistakes when trying to play it so I changed it to a more correct form. Do I have to ask the original person if I can post it? I really just want everyone to have access to the correct tablature, not trying to get credit for it or anything. |

Do Not Post Submissions In This Thread. Please Make A New Forum Topic
Before submitting your tab, make sure it adheres to the following:
The number of lines should match the number of strings on the instrument the tab represents, the lines should be preceded with the note of the open string (E for the 6th string, G for the 3rd string, for example), and the ends of each line should match up. If your tab is wider than 110 columns, you may be asked to edit it down to fit on the site.
Once your tab conforms to the above guidelines, take the following steps to submit it:
***Tabs with multiple files (e.g. Guitar Pro tabs)***
It's not uncommon that a tab will contain more than one file. This happens a lot when the tab is accompanied by non text files like Guitar Pro (.gp5), Power Tab (.ptb), or PDF files (.pdf). If this happens, please submit a ZIP file with all the included files in it PLUS another text file that shows exactly how you want the tab to be displayed on the site.
For example, if you submit a Guitar Pro tab with two tracks, you should submit a ZIP file that contains the .gp5 file, one .txt file for each track and one extra .txt with the entire tab as you want it to be displayed. Note that the extra file must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the first part of this post.
Tab Formatting
When posting text for a tab on the forum, create tab page, or comment use pre tags between the text.
<pre>text</pre>
Type those two tags and place your tab in the middle where it says text. This will format the tab evenly for readability.
Non-Game Music
The purpose of the Gametabs.net is to share songs made for video games; anything that was not made for a game unfortunately is not in the spirit of video game music (Japanese Anime being an exception). If you have something that was not made for a game check these forum threads for rules of what is acceptable for the main site and what should be posted in these threads.
