Have you ever wished you could play songs from your FATpick library when offline or away from your computer? Now you can. Print or export the full tablature for any song in FATpick using the Print Tab option on the main tab view/gameplay screen.

If you've ever wondered exactly when FATpick expects you to play a note to achieve perfect timing - or just want a better understanding of the timing component of FATpick's note detection - this is the post for you.

When should I "hit" a note? What point am I supposed to be targeting? Is there some visual indication I can track against? Is there another cue I can look for?

The answers to all these questions - and detailed, illustrated examples of the note-timing behavior - can be found inside.

Ed Sheeran and Arctic Monkeys hang on to their spots in the top 10, but 80% of the chart is new this month, featuring songs by Dire Straits, The Beatles, The White Stripes, Eric Clapton, Phish, and others.

The Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk and Bob Marley are all back with a vengeance after dropping off the chart for a couple of months, but they couldn't hold back newly added songs from Bôa and Ed Sheeran.

When you put enough guitarists together, classic rock and heavy metal are always well represented. The FATpick chart is no exception: Pink Floyd earned two spots in the top 10 this month; the Swedish power metal act HammerFall made a strong second-place showing; and familiar faces like AC/DC and System of a Down also ranked in the top 10. But it's a pretty eclectic list overall: from America's 1970s folk-rock anthem “Horse With No Name” at the top of the chart to 90s alt-rock staples like Cake and Beck to traditional country songs from the 1930s. There's even a track from the soundtrack to the surrealist rom-com movie Amélie. It's Forrest's box of chocolates in here. You never know what you're going to get.
