Inconsistent strum timing between duplicated chords (copy/paste) in GP8

(Guitar Pro 8 / Version 8.1.5 / Build 31)

At first I thought I had entered something wrong. But the eight chords show that in the first part of the video, every 2nd chord sounds different when strummed. In the second attempt, I set the strum direction to "down" for all chords. In the third part, I additionally added a downward arpeggio to each chord.

For chords 1, 3, 5, and 7, the string strikes on the D, G, and B strings are played with an offset. For chords 2, 4, 6, and 8, this offset is noticeably smaller/shorter, even though the chords were duplicated via copy/paste.

Can anyone identify the snare that is being used in this video?

I love the sound of it but I'm having trouble finding it in GP8

Help to fix the tab

Hello my guitar tab only shows the notes in 1 or 2 strings a long the neck as you can see here instead of grouping them into one scale position for easy playing. Is there any way to easily fix this in guitar pro ? thank you

Guiterra - Guitar practice app

Hey everyone,

I've been playing guitar for many years and always struggled to keep track of my practice progress – especially with tempo work. So I built an app to solve that for myself, and figured other advanced players might find it useful too.

What it does:

  • Metronome + tempo trainer (gradually increase BPM as you improve)
  • Practice statistics (track what you've worked on and for how long)
  • Song library
  • PDF import for sheet music/tabs
  • Tab creation

It's on Android only right now. Not trying to hard-sell anything here, genuinely just curious what other advanced players think and what's missing. Happy to answer questions about it.

Can anyone explain what the first note after the quarter note rest is and how to get that notation in GP8?

if you can play chords but the fretboard past the 5th fret feels like a maze, learn triads

hey guys, wanted to share the thing that finally unlocked the neck for me, because i wish someone had spelled it out years earlier.

the short version: a chord isn't a shape, it's three notes. root, third, fifth. that's a triad. when you strum a full C you're only actually playing C, E and G, just repeated. and those three notes live all over the neck, not just where you learned the grip. once you can see them everywhere, rhythm and lead stop feeling like two separate things and the fretboard stops being scary up high.

how i'd actually practice it:

grab one chord and learn its three notes on just the top strings. own that one spot first.

then find those same notes a little higher up and connect the two. this is the part everyone skips and it's the whole thing.

do it slow with a metronome til your hand goes there without looking.

then start aiming for those notes when you solo instead of running the same pentatonic box. that's the shift that makes lines sound like they belong to the song.

honestly a chord chart and a metronome gets you there. but i got obsessed enough with drilling this that i ended up building an app for exactly it, it lights up every triad across the whole neck so you can drill them fast. there's a web version anyone can try free at triads.app, or the iOS app is called Guitar Triads.

the concept matters way more than the tool though. even if you never touch it, learn your triads. it changes everything.
