Translating tabs into piano?

[ben-the-slacker]

Alright musicians, I need some help.
Anybody know how I can translate guitar tabs into piano score? Wish I could play guitar, but guess I'm stuck w/ keyboard right now...

Thanks

well, you could see what notes the tabs are playing, and then translate to piano. That's how I transfer to violin, also I have a tab program that displays the notes, when I'll get home I'll give you a link.

Yep.. I think that's the easiest way to do it!
Figure out the notes (E, D, etc.) in the guitar tab (I think most tabs have the notes written in some kind of way -- don't like them too much) and then play it in the piano. That's how I would do it. Or ... you can keep training your ear and try to figure it out by yourself it's way more fun!!! (hint hint)

here's where I downloaded this program, but you need the tabs you want saved as a .tab file. You can do it easily through notepad.

The program is called EasyTab and is shareware. You can use the trial for 30 days without paying for it.

Lost-and-found, I'll give that prog a shot.
