Arobas Music Guitar Pro 8 (DOWNLOAD)
Excellent piece of software, even if it has some shortcomings IMO. These can easily be fixed with some minor upgrades. For me, I got it to assist with music reading for jazz guitar so that I can recognised the guitar chords in notation which is how a lot of the good books are presented.
To this end, I've put some transcriptions from Joe Pass. Anyone who has tried inputting jazz into notation knows it can be a bit of a chore because of all the accidentals. I've already picked up some very useful knowledge because apart from the above, we have to work out where to finger the chords in the best place.
This programme doesn't need a lot of work to get going but obviously you do need to do the work. Personally, I don't think much of the inbuilt sounds the programme uses so I'll have a bit of digging to do to see if this app can be linked to better libraries like Native Instruments.
One last point which has nothing to do with the programme is that it is actually cheaper to buy this via Bax that from the original suppliers web site.
