Hi gents. I'm on a a mission to get some PowerTab-format country tunes out into the world. :cool: Go here: http://www.powertabs.net/ and search on my member profile: SledDawg.

So far I've done:
Buck Owens And The Buckaroos - Buckaroo
Marty Stuart - Till I Found You
The Byrds - Jesus Is Just Alright

and some other non-country. Would appreciate critiques...:roll:

Working on the following:

Buck Owens & the Buckaroos - Think of Me
Buck Owens & the Buckaroos - Where Does The Good Times Go
Joe Maphis - Hurricane
Dwight Yoakam - Fast As You
Dwight Yoakam - Guitars, Cadillacs
Merle Hagarrd - The Bottle Let Me Down

Could always use more - there just isn't that much there (a few Cash, three BP and 4 Alan Jackson tunes...)

OhDave: would you mind of I converted a couple of your Brent pdf transcriptions to PowerTab?:?:

No problem. I have them in Finale format, too. Does PowerTab import Finale? That'd save you a lot of trouble.

Dave,

I don't think Powertab imports Finale files. It does do MIDI though, and that works quite well. Can you save Finale files as MIDI?

I can, but you're gonna lose all that fret information and then you'll mostly be back to square one. I can also make a MusicXML file. According to this guy (http://freshmeat.net/projects/ptabtools/), he has a utility for converting from ptb to MusicXML. If it goes the other way, then we're set. Unfortunately, it involves downloading the source code and playing with C compilers and .lib files. Not a fan of that.

ah, sounds like too much trouble... I'll just transcribe your excellent work. I'm sure I'll learn some stuff while I'm doing it anyway! Thanks.
BTW - have you ever tackled any of Marty Stuart's stuff? I'd love to see what you could do with anything else on the Tempted album... :wink:
