Quick TAB

Cakewalk quickly creates a tablature based on standard fingering patterns. After you try the quick version, you can customize the tablature to your liking.

To create a quick TAB

1.	Open a file that contains a MIDI guitar track.

2.	In the Track view, select the track number of the track you want to display tablature for.

3.	Select Views > Staff View.

The Staff view appears, displaying a fretboard and the notation of your MIDI track. To see everything, you may need to resize the Staff view by dragging the top border upward a few inches.

4.	Click the Staff view Edit menu and choose Quick TAB.

A tablature grid appears, displaying the fret numbers for all the notes in the track.

5.	From the File menu, choose Save. Saving your file saves TAB settings for each track you generated TABs for.

Press the SPACEBAR to play your file. Notice that the Fretboard displays the name of each note above the string and fret you would play it on as the note plays.
