Guitar Pro is the most popular and powerful tablature editor on the market. Made by a French studio Arobas Music, it pleasantly surprises with its simplicity and numerous of features. With Guitar Pro you can create your own music using any musical instruments you like: guitar (acoustic and electrical, from 4 to 7 strings), bass, piano, flute, drums, and any other GM instrument. As is usual in MIDI sequencers, you don't necessarily play an instrument to record it, you can input scores (or guitar tabs) instead. The program includes many specialized tools for guitarists, such as chord diagram generator, guitar tuner, metronome or scale tool.
Guitar Pro 5.0 is a completely new version and it carries great changes from 4.* versions. Firstly, the interface is changed. Now you can set windows to page, parchment, vertical scroll and horizontal scroll modes. Secondly, multiple selection has finally been implemented. You can now select groups of notes and copy/paste them, add effects and play selected notes in loop. Thirdly, more effect have now become available: wah-wah, accentuated notes, improved artificial harmonics, bends and tremolos. The complete list of improvements is really extensive, and it can be said that Guitar Pro has finally made it to the new generation of music creation.
You can download a 15-day trial version from the official site.
