Hello, I'm Carlo Zakers . I have been playing guitar for over 45 years. I have played in numerous bands over the years, including Tribute bands covering Grateful Dead, Queen, and ELO ... i have given thousands of guitar lessons, and my students all learn how to PLAY the guitar, rather than just regurgitating memorized licks or patterns ...
i love transcribing guitar music. I have always done it long-hand, using paper, but i have recently upgraded to the digital age, and started using computer based TABBING programs, such as Guitar Pro 7.5 ... i often TAB LIVE on YouTube ...
below is a video i created using Guitar Pro 7.5 showing a completed TAB synced up and scrolling along to concert footage! ... follow my channel here to learn how to do this yourself ...
thanks for checking out my page... most appreciated :)
