I'm having some problems with Guitar Pro.. I'm having some trouble tabbing the riffs I come up with, because of note duration.
For example: I just wrote this folk/celtic-ish lick --------------------------------------------- It sounds like this: 
randomlick.mp3 ( 227.14K )
Number of downloads: 500But no matter what I do, I can't get it to fit in a guitar pro tab. I just get those red lines of doom when I try.. What I'm wondering is what I can do? Do I have to read some more theory on note duration, or are my timing in my licks just absurd? Any input appriciated! -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

Most likely it's because of time signature,
from what I hear it's either 6/4 or 6/8, depends of the tempo. Fix that first and try again.

you have to set the right time signature and have correct number of notes/duration to fit within the bar precisely

See attached a quick GP file with the lick put in 6/8. I think Matt was spot on with the durations

Thanks a lot everyone! Amateur me didn't even think about the time signature
 Thanks for the file, Roger! I'll learn more about time signatures and keep working on it ^^ -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

If someone for some reason should be curious how the lick turned out, here's a clip (including drums, rhythm guitar and bass) of how far I got before I "forgot" about it and went to work on some other licks
Project_Folk_V4.mp3 ( 607.35K )
Number of downloads: 201It may turn out half-decent if I work more on the mixing and try to work out more riffs and a solo from the song.. This post has been edited by Canis: Jul 31 2009, 11:59 PM -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

If you want to have the lick fit into 4/4, you could always just use triplets.
