I've been in to "Zero 7" stuff, since first hearing "Out of Town" on the SomaFM BeatBlender internet radio I've been listening to.

I've listened to "I Have Seen" a few times, and I really like the bass intro/riff.

I had a look for the tab, found a couple, (here, and here) but they didn't sound quite right. I worked it out for myself, and I decided to have a go at tabbing it.

I found references to a few different tab programs, when I was looking for a tuner program last night.

I installed "eTktab" first, which is pretty good, once you get the hang of the keys, and setting the base fret.

I tabbed it up, here's another attempt at putting a tab in a blog..

G |-------------|-----------------|--------------------------|
D |-------------|-----------------|--------------0--2--3-----|
A |-6--6--4--6--|--4--6--6--4--6--|--0--4--5--6-----------4--|
E |-------------|-----------------|--------------------------|

It's a bit rough, there probably should be a couple of rests in there, and some notation, that the first 2 bars are the intro, repeated a bunch of times, and then the rest is the riff.

The riff changes key someway through the song, I haven't worked out exactly what it does, I think it just steps up a fret or 2.

But it'll do for now.

Anyway, I kept looking at the software, I found "lilypond", but it's for printing out sheet music, not related to tabbing, and doesn't look like it works with tab files anyway.

I also found "songwrite" (no link, it was an "apt-get install songwrite"), which is supposed to generate midi files from tabs. I tried using that, but it didn't work, again, I think related to the sound issues I'm having.

I just get "broken pipe", when trying to output any midi. The user interface on it wasn't too intuitive either, but I'm sure I could have worked it out.

It wouldn't import my tab file, but it's supposed to import GuitarPro tabs. I went to try that, but then realised I don't have my tab collection on here, I must have moved them off when I repartitioned the disk.
