All apologises
for the delay...
(Note : You will need Guitar-Pro version 2.2 at least to read the partitions files.)
Important ! Read this, please !
Please
check the "Requests" page, and send me if you have anything that could
help someone ! After all, you would like someone to do it for you, wouldn't
you ?
And please, do not ask for a crack or anything like this !
This is not the goal of this site. Plus, Guitar-Pro is a really good program,
and you really should consider buying it...
Another thing : I will do partitions from CDs I have, and
I buy CDs from bands I like... So, if you do not find your favorite band here,
well, I might not have (or even know) it... But someone else might ! So, just
ask in the request, and maybe someone can help... And if you find it somewhere
else, tell me about it, so that I can put it here...
Thanks for your understanding !
What is it ?
The
Metalsmiths's Lair is a website created with the will to speak about the craftsmen
who create Metal music... And to help those who might want to be part of them.
Here you will find many useful stuffs for musicians who want
to play Metal. There are partitions, of course, as well as lessons. You can
also post requests if you're looking for special stuffs. Of course, in order
for this to work fine, you should answer those requests when you can, and share
it with everybody.
You will also find some infos on bands, and some albums chronicles...
For whom is it ?
Basically,
this is for everyone who enjoy Metal... as a listener, or as a player : everyone
who plays (or wants to play) metal, using any instrument should find something
useful here. Of course, it means guitar, bass, but also drums, keyboard... I
know those are hard to find over the net... And a band is not only a singer,
a guitar player and a bass player... So think about your drummer, he might want
to find some partitions, too... Well, here are some of them !!! And there will
be more, as time goes by... Well, I hope so !!!
How does it work ?
Partitions
are given in a zip compressed file (if you don't have a zip program, try Winzip).
This compressed file contains one text (.TXT) file with legal mention, name
of the band, the song, as well as technical comments and the lyrics. There is
also a Guitar-Pro
2.2(.GTP) file, which is the partition. I use Guitar-Pro because I think it's
a really good program, using Midi, but with a Tab notation, so it's better for
string-instruments. For others, it can export tracks in Midi format, so any
midi editor might give the standard notation. If anyone as problem with that,
just contact me, and we'll try to see what we can do.
Lessons
may or may not contain a Guitar-Pro file, depending on the subject of the lesson.
This site is also yours !
You
can participate by bringing partitions, or lessons, or just by telling me about
ideas on how to improve it. Concerning partitions, I'd prefer Guitar-Pro files,
but you can also send Midi files. Text files are welcome, too, but it might
take long to translate them, so the others will come first. You can submit partition
for any band, providing it plays Metal. If you find mistakes in a partition,
don't hesitate to say it.
Lessons submitted can be about anything concerning Metal.
Just send what you'd like to see !
For those who play in a band, contact
me, and I'll put something about your band, if you want.
