![]() If it's not Sun Java, the built-in sequencer may be slowing you down. So, check which distribution of Java you have on your machine. Don’t worry, it is not as bad as it sounds. ![]() In case you use some other JVM, your only choice is “TuxGuitar Sequencer”. In general, you should use “Real Time Sequencer” because it’s faster, but it needs Java Sound plugin to be enabled, which means it requires Sun Java to be installed. The TuxGuitar Documentation page on sound has a couple points that may or may not help with your issue:īeside MIDI Port sound options in the Tools→Settings→Sound tab is also MIDI Sequencer options. Could that be at play in TuxGuitar? And if it is can it be turned off? I did not notice this in older editions but to be fair I usually use MuseScore, which plays scores correctly, and then use Tux for TAB in rare cases where I don't want to forget intricate fingering patterns I've worked out.Ĭaveat: I have not used TuxGuitar, I use Guitar Pro and think it's well worth the money. I have heard about a function in Band in a Box called "humanize" that is supposed to introduce random deviations in tempo to mimic what someone thinks a human does when they play. Steady 16th notes seem to be playing as if they are galloping, with occasional n-tuples played fast then a pause. It I thought it was a person performing I'd give them an F. It almost sounds like there's a bug in the programing. Simply put, the s/w does not play what I wrote with a nice steady uniform meter. However, I recently downloaded the most recent version and noticed that when I play what I've typed into the TAB the rhythm is ridiculously off. Leave a comment if you want the chord progression for the prelude to the solo.I've used TuxGuitar for a while now and it's good enough for a free product. I use a D with F# bass in the chorus and at the end of the chorus I play a C (Bm Am G) walk down. If you want to try it with the G chord set the chords are G D Em and D. By putting a capo on the second fret I am playing the G chord set but the tonality is in the key of A. The DigiTech Drop provides anywhere from 1 to seven semitones of polyphonic down tuning plus a whole octave down.įinally, (not as an answer to your question but as an aside) I play Let It Be on guitar using the chord set from the key of G and have also found some nice licks and fills that are easy to play. Then you can have the string set and set up optimized for the drop tuning.īut if you are going to spend the money on a second guitar, as long as you play a solid body electric guitar, you could just as easily use a pedal such as the one mentioned by Neil Meyer or the less expensive Digitech Drop pictured below. Another solution is to use heavier strings which may tune flat with close to the same tension as the lighter strings on standard tuning.įor all these reasons, it might make sense to invest in a second guitar to leave tuned flat for the songs that require it. An adjustment to the truss rod and/or saddle height and corresponding tweaking of the intonation would compensate for the slack strings. The lower string tension may contribute to some fret buzz if your action is low. If you drop the tuning one whole step flat from standard, you might benefit from some adjustments to the set up. However if you only use the half to one step flat tuning for that particular song, it might not be convenient to re-tune the guitar after playing that one song. For a full step drop, place the capo on fret two, for one and a half step, use fret three and so onĪs others have mentioned, drop tuning by up to one whole step is a viable solution. Once that is done, and you remove the capo, your guitar will be tuned down half a step. What I always do is, say you need to tune down half a step, just place your capo on the first fret, then tune your guitar to standard tuning using your tuner. If you need to tune down your guitar, and only have a cheap electronic tuner like me which can basically just tune standard tuning, make use of your capo. I just thought of this now, and is just a nice-to-know. So you see that, instead of having to play the dreaded B chord as a major barre chord in normal tuning in order to drop the key of the song one half step, you drop your guitar's tuning half a step and you still play the C major chord shape as before, which is more finger friendly EDIT If you drop your guitar one half step down (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb), you drop the key of the song to B, and if you hold and strum the C chord as before, you will now instead hear a B chord, and not a C. What this means is, if a song is written the key of C, and you hold an C chord, in standard tuning, the sound will be that of a C chord. By dropping your tuning of your guitar, you not just lowering the key, but you get to retain all the original chordshapes. This is a very popular method used by rock and metal bands to accomodate the vocal range of the singer.
