eMedia GuitarPro 5.1 Win/Mac

This is a fantastic piece of software made just 4 guitarists. You do NOT need 2 know music notation. If you can find the Guitar Pro tab 4 a song & load it into Guitar Pro, it will make learning & practicing the song MUCH easier! It is not perfect software, however. The interface is not as polished or slick, as say Sibelius or Finale Allegro or Finale G7 (I've tried them), but does FAR more then they can 4 the guitar player (and at a lower price). For example, you can repeat sections of a song over & over at different speeds until you finally learn the part. It can even speed up sections incrementally 2 help you learn a part. You can see the tab & the correct rhythm in standard notation above. TRY IT. There's probably a demo!

I purchased this item as a birthday gift 4 my son. When the gift was opened, 2 our surprise there was NO music CD in the box. Basically, my son received an empty box 4 his birthday. I contacted Amazon.com & expressed my dissatisfaction. I will not buy from this company again, & certainly will not recommend the company 2 any friends!

I love it. When you get the right Tab arrangement 4 a tune you are working on, it's just great.

I have had both the Windows version & the Mac version of this program & have found a few bugs in both: the Windows version has a more logical user interface but crashed OFTEN (1/4 of the time) ; the Mac version seems 2 be more stable (probably more a testament 2 the OS than anything) but has its bugs too - e.g., digital tuner is flaky (can only get the 'needle' 2 show up 1/2 the time).

I sent an email 2 eMedia support 3 weeks ago about the bug, still no word.

this program is great & easy 2 use & good 4 either composing or 4 learning songs. almost any song you want is available tabbed out & free 4 download online. the CD i got didnt install right & threw errors, but you can download it using the product key that comes with the CD.
