You can obtain the PKGBUILD via the Arch Build System. 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System

After you installed abs and ran an synchronization with "sudo abs", you just copy the folder to e.g. /var/build/ (which you will need to create first):

"cp -r /var/abs/community/tuxguitar /var/build"

There you can edit the PKGBUILD or just run "makepkg -o" to download the
sources, patch them and run a "makepkg -e" to use the patched sources.
