When the search is complete you may be presented with several candidate images to choose from. (This should only take a few seconds, but if you get tired of waiting you can abort the search and skip the cover art selection.) If "Find Cover Art" was selected, FATpick will execute a limited search for candidate images on the public Internet. Toggle this switch to the off position to skip this step (and use a generic placeholder image in place of custom cover art where needed). Leave the "Find Cover Art" toggle active in to search for an album cover or similar artwork to associate with the song. When this toggle is inactive (off) the song will only be available in your FATpick library. Leave the "Public" toggle active in order to share (a read-only version of) the song with other users after import. The song title, artist name and album title found in the Guitar Pro file will be displayed. Select the Guitar Pro file you want to import. This will open your regular "file chooser" dialog. On the song library (search) screen, click the "Add Song." button found in the upper-left corner. Open the FATpick app and go the song library by selecting "Play" from the main FATpick menu. Once you have the Guitar Pro tab file, you can import it into FATpick as follows: To add a custom song to your FATpick library you'll need a file in the Guitar Pro file format.Īlso see How to create Guitar Pro files or How to convert a score the Guitar Pro format for help with any of that. You can play a custom song in FATpick by importing any Guitar Pro file. No matter how large or small the existing library may be, there's no limit to the songs you can play within FATpick. And the rate of that growth should accelerate in the coming months, since the catalog is based on songs shared by the community.)įATpick does offer a way around this problem: custom song imports. And to be fair, right now FATpick's library is probably smaller than most. Like most apps in this space, FATpick has a library of songs available, and that library is finite. The thirst for novelty doesn't go away, but my enjoyment of their catalog does and I eventually stop playing the game out of boredom.įATpick isn't totally immune to this problem. Maybe my tastes are obscure, or maybe I'm just cheap, but eventually my desire for new stuff to play loses out to my reluctance to keep paying for DLC bundles of songs I wouldn't normally listen to. If you're anything like me - and I know I am - one of the most frustrating things about the serious music instruction sub-genre of "rhythm games" - those guitar apps that legit try to teach you to play guitar - is how quickly I get bored of the songs that are available.
