Guitar Pro offers many reading features: 3 types of notation (standard, tablature and slash), zoom and a virtual fretboard and keyboard to visualize the exact positioning of your fingers on them.
Create your own professional scores for one or several instruments and capture your notes quickly with the numerical pad, the mouse, or even a MIDI instrument. You can also import your .gtp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5 .gpx and MusicXML.
Note value (from whole note to sixty-fourth note), triolets, n-tuplets, rest, dynamics, accents, tied note, accidental, fingering for left and right hand, up and down pick strokes, barre chords, stems and ligatures. You can also add comments to the score, lyrics and chord diagrams.
Chords: Ask any chord and Guitar Pro will display all possible positions on the fretboard. Draw a diagram by clicking on the chord grid and see all matching names.
Scales: View and listen many scales from the most common to the most exotic ones. The selected scale can be displayed on the fretboard or piano to help you compose your song, write a solo or melody line.
Lyrics: Easily enter the lyrics of your songs and arrange them on top of your vocal track. You can also add annotations to point riffs or solos out that might need some extra explanation for being played properly.
Digital tuner and MIDI: The digital tuner allows you to tune your guitar by plugging it into your soundcard or via a microphone. The digital tuner works for all possible tunings (drop, open tunings, etc.).
Virtual instruments let you view and enter musical notes from a graphical representation of your instrument. It can display notes of the current time, the notes of the current bar or of the selected scale. Intuitive and easy to use, it is an ideal tool for beginners or tablature notation fans.

NEW: Top Features in Guitar Pro 8
1. Audio and Practice Tools
- Audio Track Integration: You can now add an external audio file (like an MP3 of a song, a backing track, or a vocal recording) to your Guitar Pro score. This feature includes a synchronization interface to perfectly align the score’s notation with the audio, making transcription and practicing much easier.
- Focus/Unfocus Track: Quickly amplify (focus) or attenuate (unfocus) the volume of the selected track to create a volume contrast with the rest of the mix, which is ideal for isolating a part during practice.
- Fixed Tempo: A new option allows you to play the entire score at a single, constant tempo, ignoring all tempo changes and automations in the score.
- Visual Metronome and Countdown: A visual metronome and countdown are displayed over the LCD screen during playback to help with rhythm and timing.
- Lock Line-In Sound: You can now lock your Line-In preset, keeping the same sound when switching tracks or opening new files.
2. Sound and Mixing

- Updated Scale Diagrams: New options for editing and inserting scale diagrams, supporting guitars from 3 to 10 strings and customizable dot shapes, colors, and text.
