Download: TABLEDIT | PDF
Notes: I posted this example to demonstrate how to make alternate string pull off and alternate string hammer on in TablEdit which are common techniques used in clawhammer playing.
In this example I am referring to the banjo rhythm as “bum-pa-di-ty”
Alternate pull off (example first string) is indicated by making a fake fretted note:
1. Write 2 (fret 2) on the first string on the “bum”
2. Put a Po(pull off) on it
3. Write 0 on the first string on the “pa”
4. Put the cursor on first “fake” note (2)
5. In the dynamics bar choose ppp.
Now it is shown as [2] 0 in TablEdit but when you print the tab the [2] will not be printed. And it will not be sounded on the midi file (all ppp notes are silent). Or if you make a pdf of it, the [2] will not be shown. ̯
The alternate hammer on is in the same way. Write a fake unfretted note:
1. Write 0 (fret 2) on the first string on the “bum”
2. Put a Ho (Hammer on) on it
3. Write 2 on the first string on the “pa”
4. Put the cursor on first “fake” note (0)
5. In the dynamics bar choose ppp.
