5.0 out of 5 stars Got guitar? Get Guitar Pro 6. (Don't make me hurt you!), August 24, 2010

This review is from: Guitar Pro 6 (DVD-ROM)
Hey music lubbers. I wanted to write this review anyway but even more so that GP6 has received some tough criticism. Much of the dissatisfaction is from owners of previous versions of Guitar Pro. Since I'm new to the product I have a different perspective, one not colored by certain expectations. By the way, I'm also a software developer so I can add that to the equation as well.

From my "dual point-of-view" GP6 is both a great musical tool and a well-done piece of software. The slams it's gotten for being unresponsive, hard to use, buggy, etc. are a bit exaggerated. I believe those who have trouble with it don't have computers with the required firepower; it does ask for a fairly modern machine and it's not kidding! Though I've had it crash a few times, this is certainly no worse than Firefox; moreover, the program does very frequent updates that happen hemidemisemi-automatically.

It has a rich and satisfying palette of tools for painting your musical... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible amount of songs available on-line, September 23, 2010
This review is from: Guitar Pro 6 (DVD-ROM)
Since getting Guitar Pro, I have been learning a lot of new songs I'm finding on-line. There are a tun of sites out there with Guitar Pro files with all kinds of songs people have written out the tab for. You load them into Guitar Pro and get the tab and can play them back with some fairly realistic guitar sounds. It has other sounds as well as some songs include bass, drums, etc.

You can also use Guitar Pro to write out your own songs. I've still got a long way to go but am writing out some simple riffs I've written, which is very easy with this program.

Guitar Pro is a cool program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have software for all guitar players, June 7, 2010
This review is from: Guitar Pro 6 (DVD-ROM)
GuitarPro has a huge range of features and is ease of use. Compared to other tablature, I was surprised at how quickly I was able to pick up keyboard shortcuts for adding and editing notes. One great feature is Guitar Pro automatically detects the end of bars as you input notes. However, when you go back to edit a bar, it does so non-destructively, preserving the notation after that point. Other score writing apps tend to update in real time, which we've often found confusing. Notation's only part of the program though. There's built-in soft synth with realistic guitar, bass and drum sounds. With MIDI import, you can use it accompany you as you play - or arrange a song for your band with audio preview. There are even built-in effects and amp emulation to better match the sound you're after. This is a must have program for all guitarists.
