Good afternoon, started to take some lessons on BassBuzz. Now looking for some songs which are hard to find.
I am from Belgium, and bought me a Squier Jazz Bass.
The songs I am looking for are some Rocksmith or Guitar Pro bass items, Anyone a suggestion please ?
Hello @Whying_Dutchman. I’ve browsed the other threads where you provide a very detailed explanation of Customforge/Rocksmith (here and here if others are interested), but I just thought of asking you here since this thread is fresh:
First, I’m looking for Molly Hatchet’s Gator Country. It is on songsterr, but it doesn’t seem right having watched another bassist’s cover, and still being new it takes me an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what someone is playing whether audio or video.
Second, I’m on a Mac and I’m not sure I want to create an account when the fifth from last post on the Customforge “How to add songs on a Mac” thread lists several issues as of September of last year, which apparently are the same issues from 2022. Then December of last year someone posted “The Rocksmith patch download link doesn’t work.” The final post in that thread is for a patch from 2023, and older macOS.
It seems like a real hassle for one song and I just wanted to get your thoughts since you are the expert.
I know you said this, “If you have a Mac: get a proper PC … or find out yourself how that works,” (which is quite funny btw), but I thought I’d ask if you know anything more anyway, again, since you seem to know the most?
Lastly, any other recommendations on finding Gator Country?
I did it and converted the Guitar Pro file to PDF: gator-country.pdf (629.7 KB)
Is this already sufficient for you?
You can always use TuxGuitar or MuseScore (both free) to playback the GP file. Guitar Pro, of course, is better … but costs $$$ (or €€€ in freedom currency :-))
If it does not work syncronized with the GP file as is, you can use Go Playalong to synch it and then create a Rocksmith PSARC file, to be used in ToneLib Jam, for example.
Thank you for such a quick response. Yes, I did see it on songsterr, but that notation is very different from what this guy is doing
which seems somewhat easier (not easier, but not going from 2nd to 5th fret) - but hard for me to figure out.
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. The song is not all that important. At some point I guess I’ll just have to sit and spend the time breaking it down myself.
I have just read through so many of your posts offering assistance to everyone that I thought I would ask you myself.
The downloaded Guitar Pro file is 6:20 long and the song from the greatest hits is 6:18.
That means: Molly Hatchet either used a click track or they have a d@mn great drummer!
I just looked at the video. The video is live. Most live stuff is played differently from studio recordings.
That explains, why the tabs don’t match.
I believe, the only way to learn that song is: using the “studio” tabs - and simplify as you go.
I do that all the time for the covers I play on my sofa
I’ve browsed through that as well. Having just spoken with you for the first time, I just want to say you are very kind and helpful - and I thank you for that.
If you need a video like that - just tell me.
I was quite busy the last few weeks with other stuff, but I’m sure I could make a video in the next few days…
