You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Jazz Guitar
I see - ok then Guitar Pro is the tool to use since you can change the tuning of the guitar there. It's really the tool one needs to have if you are into guitar playing. Don't worry your request is legitimate and you are not the first one asking for this and this night I got the solution how I can do this without too much work. It would be a lot if I needed to upload on each tutorial - but this way it can be in the natural workflow and I create the guitar pro files anyway. Thanks - it's an Epiphone Elitist. That's the same quality as a Gibson Les Paul Studio and also the same price. I got it back in 2006 when I was an official Gibson online instructor. no kidding ? can you share your story in the students forum ? I would be extremly curious. Steve Vai was a student too - you probably met him there too.

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Jazz Guitar
Well it's not so easy as you think - there are so many tutorials which would need to be updated. This would take me like one or 2 days to do that. But here is the solution. View below - I am out of office till tuesday but I will upload the guitar pro file to this tutorial then so you can download it. For any other tutorial just make a request in each tutorial you want to have it. And from now on all future tutorials come with guitar pro files again.

Guitar Pro Files
There have been several requests to get the tabs of the tutorials as Guitar Pro Files. I use this software with all my live students because it is extremly useful for learning because you can listen how the tabs sound, you can slow down the speed or you can loop a specific section where you are working on. I STRONGLY recommend to use this software for learning guitar. There are 2 versions available. The full software or the app. To learn it is enough to just get the app since the playback featured I mentioned above are functional in the app too. If you want to get the software or the app at a reduced price you can use this link here : GET YOUR GUITAR PRO SOFTWARE Workflow : From now on all tutorials come again with the Guitar Pro Files for download. There are so many tutorials where I have a Guitar Pro File stored but not added in the download section. So here is how we can proceed :

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Jazz Guitar
Hey there - in fact I have all files of the tutorials also stored as guitar pro files and there was a discussion once if I should provide those files as well for premium members. The main problem I have is that they are so many for so many lessons and I am not sure how many of you guys in fact want those guitar pro files. I'll think about it and what a solution could be for that problem 😊
