Software : Guitar Pro 5 (PC)

Rating: - More than a TAB Writer
I bought Guitar Pro 5 to supliment an old music writing programme that only wrote in standard notation - the aim being to convert then print music in TAB notation. However, I have discovered that Guitar Pro does more that that! Perhaps the most useful feature is its ability to download from other web sites arrangements of songs that have already been transcribed in Guitar Pro format. Not only can you download, modify if required, and print off these arrangements, but they can also be played on your computer. This allows you to fade whichever instrument you play and then jam along with your computer while reading the TAB that advances with the song.

Overall, a practical and easy to use piece of software for the guitarist who will never need to buy a TAB music book again! The price is good as well.

Guitar Pro is such a brilliant programme, i had a copy of it, but has been corrupted (wasnt a legitimate copy). It is extremely accurate and you can essentially write whatever you like, guitar, bass, drums, saxaphone, and a load of other sounds. it uses real sound, so a guitar sounds like a guitar, rather than power tab, which is just a synthesised sound, i think. it is well worth the money, definitely buying another copy when i have money. You can add several tracks, so if your in a band and you are composing the whole song then you can compose it all and print the parts off as proper tablature and give it to them. it also comes with the manuscript version of your tab above it.

it's excellent!
