This software package pleasantly surprised me. It does a great job and is very fairly priced. Besides using it to record tablature, The only down-side I have found is that the voicings for certain instruments are very "midi-like." I would not use this to create backing tracks necessarily, but for guitarist who work primarily in tab it is amazing.

At first glance, GP6 gives the impression of being a great program for guitar players who desire to switch to the digital realm rather than use printed scores. And the included examples tend to reinforce that idea, but they are misleading. GP6 does not seem to be able to correctly import MusicXML files as advertised. When importing a score containing, for example 3 pages, it imports only one of 3 and strips the guitar tabs from the import. Furthermore, whereas the program allows one to add tabs to the included examples, that feature is greyed out when using imported files that actually contained tabs in their original form. The inability to correctly"” or even close to correctly"”import scanned music or commercially available pdf files, where pdf files have been converted to MusicXML files via PhotoScore 8 Ultimate, IMO, renders this software useless for purpose stated above. Various users might find value in its other functions. I might add, that an email sent to the developer regarding the above has gone unanswered.

I bought this product a while back for my Plini tabs from Sheet Happens. The software is fairly buggy. If you're using it to jot down things it helps to be very aware of what you're playing and how it fits in the time sig. It's a pretty useful tool if you're willing to put the time into clicking each note in. The copy and paste function is a bit clunky, but I get by. I like how it displays notation along with the tablature, that comes in handy when translating between instruments. All in all if you're looking for tablature software this is a nice product.

This is the best....not only for learning tunes but for learning the theory behind the tune....but DEFINITELY get the enhanced instrument version.....or you'll basically be listening to bland click tracks....but, that said...it's only. $5 upgrade....so I cannot say enough how this changed my playing....plus....if you buy Metal Method DVD's....the lessons include a file to use , on this software...BUY IT!!!!

I am a relative novice at music reading, but I find this program to be fairly user friendly and easy to figure out the basics. It does what I want it to do which is give me a TAB and Midi files to the music I enter. The TAB sometimes takes a little reworking because the fingerings are sometimes not actually possible (I think there's an option to let it auto re-work an indicated area, but I haven't tried it yet). It gives out very professional looking sheet music with lots of options for style and musical character. I must say that, so far I really am impressed.
