Guitar Pro Reviews

Built-in MIDI
Fast, lightweight.

Guitar Pro makes notation a breeze. Musical notation will always seem like a daunting tast, but GP makes it simple. The interface is pretty intuitive when it comes to this specifically.

I don't remember what version number it was, but I'm not the biggest fan of the overall user interface. While the main portion of the program (musical notation) is straightforward, the rest of the program became very convoluted.

I am able to create scores of music using either tab format or standard music format and then I am able to simulate the sounds of the band or orchestra through the software. There is no limit to the amount of tracks one can use, whether it is guitar, violin, drums, and even a didgeridoo. You can save your different scores and files within a cloud that is accessible on a phone app to take your music on the go. The Sound Engine has been improving over the years and I believe is almost at its peak.

I wish there was a way to change effects on a single track like a phaser or delay at a certain point in the songs instead of having to create a separate guitar track with that effect attached to it, it kind of makes the process somewhat tedious. It is very minor in the grand scheme of things, but still.

What i really like about Guitar pro is the simplicity of using it the design of the interface and what is really amazing if you are for example a musician and you don't have any idea about notes etc you can literally use your ear to write your tabs cause any number in your keyboard can turn into note that you can hear at the same time you write it then you can export that to share it with your band or export the midi file and drag it to your daw change instruments ..etc really awesome.

What i like the least about it it s the sound of instruments in it that can maybe be a motivation for the dev team is that why not sampling real sound of instruments in the app ? that would be really amazing.

The amount of music notations and tabs written in Guitar Pro format is unmatched. The possibility to play along and even include one or more instrument as backing tracks is a very useful tool.

Conversion between MIDI and GP formats is not possible. The distinction between sharps and flats when transposing is not nicely done.

The are many features prensent that helps you to play

But the interface is not good it can be better

I use guitar pro since it first version, it is a great tool for study the instrument, you can write your lesson, songs, you have your own band in this software
-It is really easy to use(you can write and read in a simply way)
-It has lot of instruments (RSE is really good and sound fine)
-Looper, metronome
-It has a big Community of people writing tabs, you can find any song you want, from bands, tv shows, anime, movies, videogames, etc and they are Free!!
-Does not need a lot of hardware!!!!

It does not support VST like Addictive Drums or Ezdrummer
It would be great to have a better Drum's Editor

I've been using Guitar Pro for a looong time. So far the best software for writing down your music composition. It's easy to use, the tools are pretty self-explanatory if you know music theory. It offers a variety of tools to write the music, use different instruments, apply the real sound banks in your composition, use different tuning etc.

It has some bugs considering midi playbacks, sometimes the sound starts to overlap.

Our worship leader recommended the app which allows you to practice songs, create music or simply enjoy playing. May features including editing music sheets and easy share.

It may be a little tricky to use as the features and use can be a bit overwhelming but you can find plenty of videos with guidance. It is a bit price as well.

It is easy to use and so popular because it allows users to transcribe and compose in tabulature format with playback capability (you may playback in various tempi for practice). You can write multitrack projects and play them back (eg. guitars, bass and drums). This feature worked well over a dozen years ago (nearing two dozens in a few years) and got polished over the years.

One thing I wish was better designed is the official tab portal (MySongbook). I remember it was quite alive early in this century, when they allowed users to share and upload their tabs. Now there is Ultimate Guitar, where you may find and share everything you need and MySongbook seem to be quite dead in comparison.

Guitar Pro makes it fun and easy to learn how to play a new instrument. With this software, I learned how to play guitar and the electric bass fluently. It is perfect for first time learners as well as continuing musicians. Guitar Pro comes loaded with features to help you transcribe your music into paper, backtracks/playback to help improve rhythm, and interface which is essential for recording guitar tracks.

Many would argue that Guitar Pro is costly, considering that their are other guitar apps which are free of charge on Google Playstore. However, Guitar Pro comes equipped with far more advanced features and better sound quality, which makes it worth every penny.

It is an ideal tool for people who work with music and is also ideal for people who have music as a hobby, it is a great tool and i love it in particular and it is very useful because i work with music, i am singer and i often cover many songs, so i use Guitar Pro to fix the music tracks and to translate the tablature to instruments, Guitar pro offers me a wide bank of sounds and different instruments and is easy to use.

Guitar Pro is totally great, but i think it could improve the sound of some instruments to make them look more real, like for example the sound of the metals (wind instruments), this is one of the most difficult to emulate.

Allows you to see the songs with score and tablature at the same time
lets you go step by step
allows you to edit with simple clicks, compose and listen directly with the hundreds of professional quality sound effects of guitar, bass, drums, wind instruments, etc.
Although its name indicates "guitar" you can configure it for bass, ukule, among others.

You must have a PC with very good features and it is recommended to have a dedicated sound card. Let's install it has in 5 pc, but if you want a lite version or for a single user you will not get it

Guitar Pro is one of the most important tools a guitar player may use to improve their skills, or write their own songs. I've used it to learn through other people's tabs, and to write some of my own scores.

Unless you're musically educated, it will be quite hard to figure out how to use this software effectively and quickly, when writing your own content.

Guitar Pro is one of the best tools for guitarists to learn music and learn songs.
If you are searching for an instrument that will get your playing to a higher level, or you need to make your own melodies, look no farther than Guitar Pro. Not exclusively will your playing improve, however you will likewise create as an arranger.

Guitar pro can teach us how to play most of popular songs, chords, and melodies, and
can even be the same as the original !!!

I enjoyed and love using guitar pro, it makes me better playing guitar !!!

I think the only downside is that the midi sound isn't that great, but that doesn't bother me at all

I picked up a free trial of Guitar Pro a while back when I considered writing my own music. I play the piano, so I was worried that the software would have its limits, but it functioned quite well for me! Guitar Pro lets you create and edit sheet music to your hearts content, and contains all of the necessary symbols, clefts, beats, and notes you might need. I'm a casual musician, so I don't have a burning desire to use any over-the-top mechanics, but the fact that they are available is nice.

I used the free trial, so I didn't get to utilize all of the software before said trial ended. But I enjoyed what I saw.

Guitar Pro has evolved a lot since it's first edition. It now features a depiction for virtually anything one can do on a stringed instrument, and its sound banks make it sound pretty much like the real thing. Guitar Pro is not only an application to help you play along an existing work, it is now also a compositional tool.

With all that being said, I have to say Guitar Pro is not the tool I personally need anymore. It helped me evolve to the point I do not need it anymore, and this is the reason I have stopped using it. I now use a certain open-source alternative that I do not have to pay for, which just shows me the tabs and plays along for me to practice. Perhaps they should replace their time-limited trial with a lite version. All that being said, Guitar Pro is still the best high-end score writer for guitarists.
