I'm going to try to tab a song. I don't know if I have the patience. I can already tell it's harder than I thought. And I'm using sheet music. Real tabbers do it by ear.
I'm working on a fingerstyle arrangement in Db. That means it has five flats and I'm not really used to that key. I'm going to use my baritone so I can do a straight tab and not have to transpose. I'll transpose it later. Maybe.
One of the things I never thought about was how to treat accidentals. If the note is flated by the key signature does the sharp accidental just raise the note a half step to make it a natural or does it make the note sharp?
Well, don't run away to look it up. I already did. The accidentals don't build on each other. If there's a sharp in front of a G in a Db song you play a G sharp, not a G natural.
So now I know that.
Small steps.
