newbie question: what's the .gp file type?

swiftlessons

Hey Ted, those are Guitar Pro 7 files. It's a program that allows you to listen to the tabs you're viewing, adjust the tempo, or create new tabs from scratch. I would say it's a very powerful learning tool.

Thanks for the quick reply! I can't find any programs to open .gp files. when I search with google for Garage Pro 7 I get a lot of hits for garage door openers and garage cabinets, but noting about music. Can you suggest a website or something where I could get more information about using .gp files? Many thanks.

So much fun, Rob. Thanks for counting for us. It always helps especially when trying to get from the strum to the scratch. Keep the blues stuff comin', of you can. It always makes my day. You're a gem!

Hey Dawn, so glad you're enjoying this video. I'm hoping to add a series of strumming and fingerpicking tutorials, I'll be sure to highlight the counting aspect moving forward.

Enjoyed this and the Sliding Nines lesson Rob. Quick question; can you tell us the tab for that little riff before the final E7 at the end of the Texas Blues please - think that I’ve got it down, but it doesn’t quite sound the same as yours!

Great video. Sounds like an E pentatonic would work well with this chord progression? Also, What's with that fret marker on the 7th fret—looks like tape?

Tony Fletcher

I see that the Faith guitars on their site do not have markers, so those must be additions that you added for your students.
