Since I have watched “Slow Horses” I have an irresistible earworm: Strange Games by Mick Jagger.
I have the bass tabs as PDF and want to convert it manually to Guitar Pro.
SLOW HORSES - STRANGE GAME.pdf (101.8 KB)
No matter what I do, the notes do not fit properly in the bars.
No, I don’t know music theory 
So this is the first line:
I guess it has something to do with this:
I learned it’s called a triplet. But that’s all I learned ^^
Can anybody help me how to get this into GP properly?
I may be wrong, but I think that’s indicating “swing 8ths” - Swung 8ths.
I don’t think that’s the problem - the tab doesn’t show note duration, so I can’t tell how long any of the notes are. Is that first measure a quarter with an 8th rest then 2 8ths, 8th rest and a quarter? Or an 8th with an 8th rest then a quarter, 8th, 8th rest and a quarter? I don’t know… You’ll have to figure it out by listening to the song, I guess…
UltimateGuitar has the official tab, if you have a membership there… It shows the note durations. UG - Strange Game
Thanks!
I find UltimateGuitar too expensive, just to use for one tab
And - as far as I know - you can’t download official tabs.
Still I could use that to enter it manually into GP…
You can “print” the tabs, including official ones, which provides a PDF file.
I can’t tell much from your screenshot, but you can’t see an official tab unless you have a membership. So if the link is to the official tab, you won’t see anything without the membership.
