Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the software for its excellent user experience, finding it intuitive, easy to learn, and a powerful tool for transcribing, arranging, and practicing music. Many highlight its usefulness for writing notes and tabs for various instruments, creating backing tracks, and its overall robust and straightforward functionality. People appreciate the clean and intuitive display, the helpfulness of the software in improving their playing, and the valuable features it offers for both learning and composition. However, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the app and its quality. A few users found specific actions, like selecting bars or panning volume, to be tedious and difficult. There were also mentions of the app crashing on Windows 11 and limited sounds compared to older versions. Some reviewers were disappointed with the lack of a full version for tablets, the limited text options, and the difficulty in adjusting measure markings. Additionally, some felt the sound quality was poor and desired the ability to integrate audio tracks with drum, guitar, and bass plugins for more realistic sounds.

I'd thought I'd have access to the tabs GP provides by buying the software, but it seems I need to buy the songbook each year. That is disappoiting given the cost of the program.

Thanks for your feedback.

It seems there is a misunderstanding. The Guitar Pro 8 license gives access to a wide range of powerful composition and practice features. Such as score editing, multi-track tablature, realistic audio playback, chord and scale tools, advanced notation settings, and much more. You can find a complete overview here:
https://www.guitar-pro.com/c/14-guitar-pro-features

However, it does not include free access to mySongBook, which is a separate legal and paid service offering high-quality official scores under license. Subscriptions are optional.
That said, Guitar Pro can open and edit thousands of free tabs available online.

It is very useful for composing songs. The sound banks are cool and it has many options, mainly for tabs. It is not a 5-star because it does not have online version. It could be great to collaborate online in real time.

very good app

This is a great. music application. which sadly lacks in any ability to save the changes you make to your pages that you are practising on so come the next practise, you have to start the page alteration all over again. GP8 has a good selection of music. but there is always other files suitable for this application on the net. The customer service. is quite good sometimes a little slow sometimes. quite fast. The page. for choosing your music from could do with some updating Making the letters larger and adding a choice to make set lists and being able. and being able to delete music you don't want from the collection but all in all I do enjoy this. programme.

I am loving Guitar Pro

I am loving Guitar Pro. I just started using it, so I'm still learning all the features, but it is an amazing tool. I love how you can slow down the songs to make it easier to learn, and use the progressive speed to help you get it up to speed gradually. I also love how you can highlight any section of the song or scale that you're working on, and loop it, so that you can play it over and over until you get it down. I look forward to learning more about Guitat Pro as I go, and would definitely recommend it to anyone, from a beginner to someone, like me, who has been playing for decades.

Guitar Pro is very easy to learn and it fits my needs perfectly. I have used Finale for over 20 years and when I heard that it would no longer be updated I decided to find a new notation program. Guitar Pro has been perfect as I play bass and create charts for my group of friends.

This is just a great program, and has been for years. I can't fault it for what I use it for - writing guitar parts and comparing/sharing them with the other guitarist in the band. Easy to use and also keeps me on my toes remembering how to notate and count rhythms.

Great interface, easy to use

The software is neat and relatively easy to use, great interface.
What I absolutely do not like is the fact there is no free “only read” version. I was glad to pay for the full version which allows me to make tabs for my students, but I realize after buying it that unless the student buys the full software, I can’t even share it with them.
So I went back using TEFedit PRO which has a free version TEFview to read my files…

Proper pick slide function/sound sample needed!

Needless to say, this software has revolutioned an entire field of musical knowledge. There's no way Guitar Pro's importance can be underestimated. There's only one issue at the moment: PLEASE include a full, realistic, flexible pick slide sound sample. It's mandatory. I mean it. Pick slides are an integral part of a thousand guitar arrangements and it is really important to have a proper one on Guitar Pro. Do NOT postpone this enhancement. Please. Other than this, I love everything about GP.

Long time user

Been using GP since GP3 and found it really helpful when teaching students. The upgrade to 8 was seamless and worthwhile. Also used it to arrange parts, print them out and distribute to the various players. Overall a great product.

I use it during practice

I use it during practice. It helps my rhythm a lot. I'm the type to forget where I am in a piece (the repeats, etc.) and this makes it simple.

It's easy to add my own fingerings so I remember them.

Good application to write down a melody with notes.
It is required to know about notes, rithm and tonality, but it worth to do it. I was really glad witth the recent interface improvement (from v7 to v8), but I think it would be better if instrument sounds become more realistic.

I work with compositions

I work with compositions, arrangements and music production. For me, Guitar Pro is essential for creating a blueprint of the songs before producing them, its improvements are welcome, however, I saw some aspects that could be corrected in the future.
First, when placing an Audio Track in the file, if you want to change the tempo of the music throughout the file, only the tempo initially entered remains.
Secondly, I don't know if this happens because I'm working with GP7 files, but there were times when I tried to change the tempo of the song and I couldn't, it stayed at the original tempo.
Despite these obstacles, I created a new file, copied, pasted and continued my work.
