What are you using to create Tab

Post by Dan Burnham »

Hey Folks,
Just curious of those who tab what are you using? Paper, excel or a specific software.

Thanks,
Dan

Page layout app, QuarkXPress on Mac. I'm fluent in it, and can customize everything to my heart's content and the edge of my sanity! A very tedious manual process, I don't recommend it.

Guitar Pro 6.
I've been using it since version #3.
It works well for me.
I have stuff.
I try to make music with it.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
But I keep on trying.
