Guitar Pro?

The primary function of guitar pro is to be able to see the tab, and the rhythm notation as well as have the ability to play the file in the form of MIDI. This allows you to hear each part and slow it down to the desired level until you have mastered it.

Often there is the complete score - ie all guitar parts, rather than just one.

It is a really helpful bit of software and you should check it out if you are into your tabs!

Great piece of software! Guitar pro 6 has some very nice sounds. I use it for tons of things. One of the main things is for my students. For one like was already mentioned you can take parts and slow them down. I create slow, medium and full speed tracks for my students to take home and play along to. If someone has problems with a certain part of a song I can just surround it by repeat signs and have them play just that part over and over as many times as I want. I also mute out the guitar parts for an additional track so they can get used to playing the song without the guitar part included. The students love this because it gives them more of a feeling of playing along with the band as opposed to playing to the air or very sloppily playing along to the actual song at full speed. They then develop bad habits which we have to go back and fix.

I love it because it really works on their timing and staying with it when they make a mistake. When we get done with a song we record them playing the song with the backing track.

You can also just listen to the tab to see if it sound right or not. People are more likely to try to get the tab right with guitar pro then just posting a tab because you can hear when something is off and it sounds horrible. Having said that I have came across some pretty bad ones though.

I'm also currently working on some course material and guitar pro has proven invaluable for me here also. I also do exercises and solos at different speeds so if I were to record myself playing the parts I would have to record multiple takes of the same solo or whatever I'm working on at different speeds. Also if I'm not happy with a take I need to rerecord parts, edit etc... With guitar pro I input the material and then it takes seconds to create another track at a different speed.

I highly recommend this program to anybody! It's a great learning tool!

let me know if you get it

I can send you some files  maybe over 2000 of them

There is a lot of functions with it - most I have never used. Start off with the basics - loading a tune, playing it, slowing it down, muting specific parts marking a certain phrase.

What I have mentioned above can be picked up really easily and I don't think I have ever used more of the functions that this in the 5+ years I have used guitar pro!
