(More customer reviews)As any guitarist will tell you, reading tablature and trying to make what you read on the page sound like what you hear on the CD is a very difficult thing to do. Guitar pro is a kind of Karaoke tablature, if you will, in that you can see the tab as the song is "played" and the note played will light up.
To call it Karaoke tablature, however is to do this software an injustice. It will synthesize the music on the screen, according to the music, as it knows the tempo, key, timing, what tuning the guitar is in, what guitar it is, indeed even what instrument it is, and it will make the song sound if not exactly like the CD, its close enough so you can easily recognise the song. It is not just restricted to guitars, it covers instruments from piano to strings to violins to flutes and includes a full drum kit and strange sound effects, too. If you wanted to hear "Hotel California" by the Eagles played on a flute, you can!
The only caveat is you have to either use the music you have written already (quite a long process) or use some of the files on the internet (which are free) from [...] as the publishers dont officially provide any tabs for it.
The best part about Guitar Pro is its use as a tuition aid, not just for seasoned guitarists! Say you have "Enter Sandman" by Metallica and you wish to learn to play the exceptionally hard solo in the song. You can pause the track when you get to the part you wish, reduce the tempo of the song and learn to play the music along with the track gradually speeding up as you get more confident, just as a conventional guitar tutor recommends learning something new and difficult. When you get confident at a piece of music, you can mute out James Hetfield or Kirk Hammet and play thier part in the song as the computer plays the rest. Like I said, its Tab Karaoke. This will even work for drummers or Bass players as you can mute their parts too!
You can use Guitar pro to compose your own music, too as it has a comprehensive range of musical notation in its library, it can dispaly standard musical score as well as guitar tab, it is able to reproduce bends, slides, trills, harmonics, palm muting vibrato, hammer ons and pull offs and pops and slaps for bass players amongst many others.
At least, this program will be an aid to learning a piece of music that has just eluded you for ages, at most it can be an integral piece to any musicians arsenal and a fantastic songwriting aid. If you like playing musical instruments, Buy Buy Buy!!!
