I like to use Guitar Pro 5.2

You can download guitar pro files in GP5 formats.

It's not only for guitar learning, but you can get scores as well, and so far, the files that i downloaded... i would say 85% of it are accurate from drums to keyboards (of course, guitars included) , may not be perfect as most of the files are user submitted. But you will get the idea on how to play it.


Not only that, if you find something is slightly not right, you can edit the tabs/notes or write your own songs with it.



And it supports soundfonts too.

it seems not a freeware... urs is cracked one?mind to share the link where u downloaded.

I don't think we can. Not without getting a warning. Try Googling it .

I still prefer normal tabs but I use PowerTab to get my timing down.

hope u all can share the website where u all usually get song tab from there, make sure the tab has "quality control",lolz

Yea, google for the "link"


As for the guitar pro files... you can find it all here .... http://www.mysongbook.com/

It comes with a rating... i rarely download anything less than 4 stars.



Even 4 stars, there are some parts which are wrong... but close enough.

It's also great for improvisation practices and stuff, i mean you can see different genres there... from Jazz - Metal


It's a useful tool to "tangkap" certain songs... especially those complicated jazz chords which are very hard to catch by ear when all the music is going on..... the 13s , 11s and such....

guitar pro software must be paid to get it.... haiz..... i curious how u all write song, if my mind got some rythm, i dont manage to write it out straight, i have to analyze "note by note"....

well you start that way - slowly if you can feel you're doing it right at a slow pace, you can train yourself to go abit faster.

my tip on how to go on faster: try to learn and understand how the scales work. well, learning the major scales will help you alot.

Haha.. check your PM.


As for song writing... sometimes, i just sit with my guitar and messing with some chord progressions, from there, an idea can suddenly pop out in my head... and i will immediately write down, kick marks, and stuff, then finally do it in the software, to have a listen on how the end product will sound like. Then will start distributing to my band members, and get them to listen and find out wether they like it or not. If they do, then everyone else will go learn their parts, and finally make a studio practice. Of course it doesnt always turn out exactly like in the midi, cos we will add attack parts and stuff....

All those minor things, to juice up the song a bit.

But this thread is not about writing songs... i know.

what i mean is when i got a music in my head, i cannot straight get the idea of the entire music should be placed with which note, until i blurt out CDEFG to get the right one that satisfies the rythm...

do you mean that you can't get the right note after you hear the music? and that you have to play all notes until one matches? am i correct?

yes, and i wanna ask "Experienced musician able to just straight knowing the right note without playing each note to find out the one matches"

thanks for keep tracking my thread. ur replies has always been very helpful, i thought to open a new topic called "newbie questions",that allows more newbies like me to post their questions there for help, to solve the redundancy problem where each person just create a new topic for the question they encounter. anyway, thanks for help...

that's a good idea. i'll try to fix things up tomorrow when i get back here in my desk

and you're welcome i like doing this because i was a small time music teacher

So where is ur music academy? and u sell those music stuff?, aiya no need to purposely fix it lar, just leave it there lar.
