You can get tons of gp files in the internet to import and learn the music. You can also convert the midi files to mp3 which I use to import music in my playlist. It is also very useful to make your own music from scratch. > > **Cons**: Sometimes guitar pro gets stuck and closes unexpectedly. > > It has been a very good experience using Guitar Pro. I have been using it since Guitar Pro 3 came out and I am still using Guitar Pro and can easily say that there is no any other software like Guitar Pro for making and editing music. ----- ### "Saves time" — 5.0/5 > **Chloe** | *January 17, 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use this to create music and storage it > > **Cons**: Nothing there’s nothing I don’t like about it > > Good at creating music and to share it and save ----- ### "Easy to use and easy to enjoy\!" — 4.0/5 > **Marty** | *July 18, 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Guitar pro to make tabs. It's easy to use with a lot of options to make it fun. Keep up the great work\! > > **Cons**: Easy to use and fun. My only Con is, It takes time to learn. ----- ### "BEST TOOL EVER FOR GUITAR TEACHERS" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *December 24, 2018* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved that I can write assignments and practice pieces easily and modify as necessary for students - so easy. I know people that took it much further for compositions but I did not use it like that > > **Cons**: It took a while to get used to working thru the writing part but that was on me - Once you get the hang of it, the process was simple. ----- ### "The best Guitar Tab Tool out there" — 5.0/5 > **Volodymyr** | *August 7, 2018* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most of the notation tools makes notation look and feel very complicated and eerily impenetrable. But Guitar Pro makes it seem easy and completely approachable - which is very important for those making their first steps in music composition. Guitar Pro is probably one of the most accessible notation tabbing tools out there. It is extremely easy to master and very comfortable to use as a lean mean composition tool. It is especially useful if you have limited music education and just want to lay down your ideas. From the user experience perspective - it doesn't get any better. If you know the notation basics - it will take a couple of minutes to get around Guitar Pro's interface. The way the composition process is organised is very streamlined and allows many tweaks without getting tangled. Ever since the 5th version introduced realistically sounding instrument samples, Guitar Pro also became a very interesting tool for sonic experimentation. Sure, it is very limited in comparison with a full-fledged digital workstations - but it offers an interesting experience, especially from a 6th versions which introduced sound effects. > > **Cons**: User interface might seem dense at first and it takes some time to get used to it. From a compositional standpoint - every instrument that is not fretted string one - is limited to the guitar-based tuning. Basically it limits the composition process to laying down the basics while fleshing out will require more specific software. The notation layout itself is somewhat clumsy and got some very irritating traits. Hot keys are messy and you often get confused over which combination does what. It is not critical but might bring you some discomfort. Version 6 and 7 often crash, especially if you try too hard with the RSE. > > Guitar Pro is one of the best notation tool out there. It is easy to handle and fun to play with. There are some problematic elements but it doesn't affect user experience in a critical way aside from some minor disgruntlements. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/166265/guitar-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/166265/guitar-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
