This folder contains Power Tab files for all of the lessons in this TrueFire Study Program. You will need to install the Power Tab Editor to work with these files. We've included a Power Tab installer file with this CD but, for the latest version, please go to http://www.power-tab.net to download the Power Tab Editor (its free!) and for more information about Power Tab and links to many killer Power Tab resources. The Power Tab Editor is free shareware thanks to Brad Larsen, who wrote it and shares it with players the world over. The version you are downloading is a complete editing system which allows you to create your own Power Tab from scratch. Power Tab is only available for Windows. Because of its powerful educational qualities, TrueFire is converting many of its tablature guides to the Power Tab format. To work with TrueFire lessons you will only need to use the playback features of the Power Tab Editor, which are very simple to master. Here's a quick tutorial: 1 - Install the Power Tab Editor on your computer. Keep in mind that Power Tab plays the tablature and notation through your midi setup. Odds are good that it will work fine right after the install but you may have to tweak around with your midi setup until you hear the tab being played. Call your computer support folks if you need help in this area. 2 - Double click on the Power Tab file that you want to work with and you'll see it load into Power Tab Editor. 3 - Notice the player controls in the upper right hand corner of the upmost toolbar. Click on the play button and you should start to hear midi playback of the tab and see each tab notation highlight in red as its played - a "follow the bouncing ball" kind of thing. 4 - To work with an example, click on the tab section that you would like to play (notice the blue marking) and then click the play button. Currently there is no looping feature but Version 2, which is due out very soon, will have many more useful playback features. Meanwhile, you will need to click stop and play manually as desired. 5 - You may find it useful to slow down a section until you've got it nailed. To do this find the second button from the left on the bottom toolbar. It's marked with a quarter note and equal sign. Click on this button and use the drop down to slow down the beats per minute (BPM), then click OK and play the tab. We hope you'll find this tool as useful and educational as we do. Enjoy!
