July 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Can view tabs from our favorite artist, so that anyone can learn how to play songs. You can also compose and share your own compositions, and convert them into sheet music if necessary. Cons The layout is a little bit dated. It will also come off as esoteric if the user is not familiar with guitar tablature. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Audio Producer Music Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Guitar Pro - Review" May 23, 2019 5.0 Pros Over time this has developed into a fantastic piece of software. The USP is the best thing about it, a guitar/tab-centric scoring software that works for guitarists. Cons It doesn't 'sound' fantastic, but at the end of the day it's not supposed to. It's for scoring.

Self Employed Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Guitar Pro Helps You Keep TABS On Things" May 24, 2019 5.0 It took me a bit to get the hang of it but once I did I was easily able to make guitar tabs for my songs that I have written in my band. Works well. Pros This software is great for creating tabs for your own musical compositions. Perfect for small arrangements using a limited amount of instruments. Ideal for bands trying to create tablature for their songs. Cons The software takes a little work getting used to it. It's a bit dense. Once you get the hang of it there are few issues you can't figure out easily. It isn't the right software for layer lots of instruments. I wouldn't use it for a symphony or even a big band.

Founder/Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Software With Huge Integration Potential" August 5, 2019 4.0 Pros It's quickly taking over the "guitar tablature" industry as the best way for amateur and semi-pro musicians to write out tabs and charts. Lots of features, and an incredible tool for any beginner guitarist as well. Cons Of course, it's geared primarily to guitarists, and the musical notation abilities are subpar when compared with platforms like Sibelius, Finale, or MuseScore.

It would be a lot better to get this then say musician . Cons Could have nicer imagery and could be a bit faster . The speed isn't an issue all the time but it could also be my device .

April 30, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the different options for guitar sounds and the ability to easily save and export songs to other members of my band. The copy/paste feature helps save a lot of time. Cons There are almost too many options; I wish the system could be a bit more simplified. Some of the keyboard shortcuts are confusing as well. Review Source WW Wesley W.
