Advantages: variety of features, speed changer helps u gradually learn, fantastic sound engine, 1000's of tabs

Disadvantages: none

Guitar pro is the must have software for any guitar player. This software is extremely useful and has hundreds of helpful objects in it.

Basically, it shows guitar tabbed songs. But along with this it can also play the music along to a real sound engine, which is pretty accurate to real life, you can speed up and slow down the tempo of the music so you can practice slow and build up to playing at normal speed. Being able to play the track is really handy because you get to see HOW things are played as well.

There are thousands of tabs made online for guitar pro, and about 70% are pretty good, it takes some getting used to if you want to compose a song yourself, but ready made ones make it easy to open up and learn. Whatever the song, there is a guitar pro tab for it.

Guitar pro also has an option where you can view the fretboard of a guitar and which frets are being held down as the music plays. There is also a tool to help you with scales as it shows you which notes are in each scale and which frets are part of the scale.

I highly recommend this for any newbie or intermediate guitar player. It also does banjo and bass as well as guitar.

This WILL help you learn quicker. I learnt Metallica's - Nothing else matters off by heart in an afternoon, and now i can play it really well.

Buying this allows you free access to the next 5 updates, well up until guitar pro 10.
