I would like to know how to print notation, songs move along to fast to try to play and scroll my computer to follow along with notation.
Thanks Scott

Tabs are located under each video. They are on the second tab titled "tabs and notation." The ability to print notation and tabs from our lessons is one of the great benefits of becoming a Full Access Subscriber.

To the right of each lesson's video you'll see a button that says "Print Lesson". Pressing this button will give you a preview in .pdf format. From there, you can print from your .pdf reader program. If you're having trouble viewing this preview, you may need to install Adobe Reader through the following link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Please note that the tablature and notation of some officially licensed songs are unavailable for printing due to our agreements with music publishers.

Why not make it possible to download a Guitar Pro file. It could be nice. Hope it becomes a possibility.

thanks in advance! Torben :-)

I'm guessing the new lesson added for House of the Rising Sun is on this cannot print list? There is not button that says print this lesson that I'm seeing.

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Sorry I can't deliver better news.

There should be a scroll option that allows the tab to scroll down as you play for those lessons that are not licensed for printing. It is very inconvenient to have to stop playing then use the mouse to scroll down, start playing, stop playing...scroll down.

I believe ultimate guitar has this feature and it would be extremely helpful...I'm actually surprised (for how well this site is put together) that this option is not currently available.

I appreciate the communication and am currently enjoying this site and the lessons it has to offer!

I have brought the printing issue up myself. It only prints correctly when using the "Print Notation" option on the right side menu (if shown) otherwise anything greater than one page does not overflow to the next page correctly. Not being able to print properly makes it difficult to follow along with the lesson or jam track. I don't have this issue with any other software that I use. Shouldn't take rocket science to fix.

Just stopped back to see if there was any answer from guitar tricks. I guess it's just as good as "Thank you for bringing this to our attention."

For a website like this with quality teachers and lessons, in my opinion this is a major flaw with an easy fix.

Any update on providing the scroll option for the tab to scroll?

Hey guys!

We have not incorporated a scrolling option as of yet. We really do listen to your suggestions, so please don't be discouraged that this is not in place currently.

Your best bet right now is to open the notation in a new window by clicking "Open in New Window" directly above the song name in the notation section.

Thank you for your patience and bringing our attention to this matter.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us.

I recently upgraded to Full Access and even though I have been playing for a while I started at step one. I love the lesson format and love the instructors I have been exposed to so far. I am also trying to keep it fun by adding some new songs along the way. The only negative I have is similar to those who have already commented on the availability of printable song notation for licensed songs. I understand why it is an issue but stopping during a song to manually scroll the notation is more challenging (and frustrating) to me than any of the lesson content so far. If the score scrolled along with the playbacks, that would be helpful and I thought that I saw in a survey question I recently completed that this was going to be a feature in the new beta version. If so, I can't find it. It would be great to be able to download the notation and the jam track for a song. Why not a small charge per download to cover the royalties? Wouldn't that solve the problem? Interested in any updates on this issue.

I write the notation down into a book. It does take a bit of time and effort, but it's not too hard to do.

In my testing, Microsoft's Snipping Tool (Windows 10) does a wonderful job grabbing and printing the notation...
