I'm looking for a MIDI guitar that I can use to play in parts for
software conversion to TAB. Or just scored notes on staves. Does anyone
have a cheap idea for me? Is there something I can put on an existing
guitar?

Thanks

You would need a guitar midi interface like the Roland GI 20 and the
GK3 pickup to convert the guitar to midi.Using a sequencer such as
Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar,etc you could record the midi sequences.
Nuendo has a tab tool that changes from regular staff notation to
tablature, but it takes a lot of work to get accuracy.
To make the conversion easier, try
http://www.tabledit.com
or search for another tablature converter/editor.

What Randall says... plus have a look at Sibelius "G7"

Thanks for the tips. I will go check it out now. As for the sequencer,
I have cubase and know how to do it with a keyboard so the guitar is
just the last step.

You might look at Godin as they track well for me. I really like the
Godin Mulitac ACS Nylon Synth Access Guitar and I have a Godin Multiac
Steel SA I've used these on Axon and Roland synths and compared to
the Roland pickups, they are better for me.

If you are new to MIDI guitar, please be advised that the technique is
a bit tricky, at least it was for me. I found I needed a cleaner
style to avoid extra, unwanted notes. You can of course clean this
up in Cubase.

BTW, there is a free program out there that you might want to play
around with as it compliments MIDI guitar. I actually wrote it and it
is now open source and the VB6.0 source code is available he
[http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...1625&lngWId=1]
A description of the program and the compiled version is located he
[http://www.moosenose.com/TUNING.HTM].

I've had no feedback on this program despite the fact that it has been
floating around the web for about 15 years. If you try it, please let
me know what you think. I refer to it as the poor man's Roland VG88.

I'll second the recommendation for Godin. They're very well made for the
money. As for tracking, well, after seeing Al DiMeola play an ACS live, I
had to have one. If it can keep up with his playing, it will never have a
problem with mine.
