If you don’t want to go through that palaver here’s the template I use: Guitar Pro Ukulele Template Once you’ve done that you can start a new ukulele tab with your preferred settings by clicking this little button at the top left: Go to the preferences screen and change the “Default template” to the one you’ve just made. If this is going to be the setup you use most often then you can make it the default. Now when you go to File > New Score you’ll see your new setup there. Just go to File > Save template as… then give it a name and save it in the templates folder. Now you’ve done all the hard work setting the tab up you can save it to use any time you want it. And there’ll be others you’ll find you want to change as you make tabs. There might be a few things you want to change straight away. I recommend having a look through to see what’s there. There are a whole heap of options in the Stylesheet. The option for “Global score proportions” is 6 by default. You can bump it up by going to File > Stylesheet. I find the default sizing of ukulele tabs to be a little small. If you want your chord diagrams above the tab itself rather than all at the beginning you can change that by going to Files > Stylesheet then tick “Diagrams in the score”.

This is less than ideal for ukulele chords so I recommend going to preferences (Guitar Pro > Preferences on Mac or File > Preferences on Windows) and unchecking “Add the bass note to the chord’s name…”. Mine has all the major, minor and 7 chords (arranged in circle of fifths order so chords that are played together are close together).īy default Guitar Pro uses slash chords for the chord names. They are saved as part of the template that we’re setting up so they’ll be there for any new tab you create. I’d recommend adding some common ukulele chords there in the sidebar. It’s a much easier way of adding the same chord at many places in the tab.
Whichever way you create the chords they’ll end up in that sidebar. Make your chords there and you can add them to the tab at any point you select.
Click that and it’ll bring up the same chord maker used in the first method.

You’ll see a box with a dotted outline and a plus sign. The other method uses the sidebar that pops up when you click the big C7 in the far left. It’s pre-populated with the notes in the tab at the position you’ve selected. That brings up a box that lets you select or create your chord. The first way is to find the location of the chord change on the tab then click this little Am guitar chord: By default it’ll put the chord name above the stave and show all the chords used underneath the song title, artist etc. There are a couple of ways to add chord charts to the tab. Then you click the down arrow, give the tuning a name and you’ll be to use it at any point in the future. Start with low-G tuning then click the down arrow on each of the little tuner boxes five times to give you D3, G3, B3 and E4. Setting up baritone tuning is the same process with a lot more clicking. You can save the tuning for future use by clicking the arrow that has just appeared next to the drop down box: Then go to the bottom left tuner of the bass guitar and click the down arrow until the box reads A3. There aren’t options for low-A or baritone tuning but they’re easy to create. Select which you want then click either of the Apply ticks (it makes no difference which if you haven’t started your tab yet). If you click the drop down menu where it says “C Tuning” you get options to change to D-tuning or low-G tuning. You can change that by clicking on the guitar in the far left column which brings up this picture of a bass guitar head: Changing the Tuningīy default, the tab created is in high-g gCEA tuning. In the bottom left corner there are options to show slash notation (more on that later), standard notation (which I leave off most of my tabs) and tab. You can find the ukulele under the slightly kinky sounding “Exotic Guitars”. Now set up a ukulele tab by going to Track > Add… and it’ll bring up this window: (You can just cancel out of the Score Information screen for now.) Start by going to File > New Score > Empty. Out of the box, it is set up for guitar so I thought I’d pass on what I’ve learnt about using Guitar Pro 6 for making ukulele tabs along with a few general tips (note: this is not at all a substitute for reading the actual manual). I highly recommend it if you’re getting into making uke tabs. I think all my tabs on Uke Hunt have been made with it. I’ve been using Guitar Pro for almost 10 years.
