It is a nerd program and is not intuitive. Last edited by Simon DS Oct-20-2021 at 8:49am. Now I listen to a couple of YouTube vids for rhythmic inspiration.Īnd a very short time later (15 minutes) I get my pick and my octave mandolin and practice the hell out of the tune. The printout goes into one of my numbered pre-repertoire folders, with pencilled notes for chords/status/like/danceability/difficult right hand melodic phrases circled. Now I can hear the tune like hearing a midi file, and see a copy of notation and TAB.

abc file into a free reader, TunebookSD for iPhone. Then I paste the the same so, so, simple text-based.

Then I print out the notation-with-TAB at the local post office. [When I want a tune, to call my own I do this: There is something far better than tablature. Maybe someone else can comment on that if you still want to stick with Tab notation. MuseScore also has a Tab function but I've never messed with it. I use the free MuseScore program to import tunes in ABC or standard notation, where I can edit notes to match local versions of the tune.

Of course this also opens up the world of Classical music and other 'World music.' Any standard notation for violin can be played on mandolin. There is no Tab there, only standard notation (and ABC notation, a kind of shorthand ASCII version). If you can read standard notation it opens up a gigantic trove of tunes you can find online, like the database on for Irish, Scottish, and related traditional tunes. I remember when I was first learning mandolin it helped to see Tab notation of a tune, but I very quickly moved on to standard notation because I was playing 'fiddle tunes' - OldTime and Irish - that were linear melodies, mainly in first position, and there is no ambiguity about where the notes are on the fingerboard. That still applies to a certain extent on mandolin. I used Tab notation exclusively when I played guitar, because especially with fingerstyle playing there is more than one place to play the same note, and it helps figure out how someone is playing a certain tune.
