I like Guitar Pro because it’s the best way to get transcriptions done for both sheet music and TAB.
It’s got more features that focus on guitar-specific things than any other software I’ve used.
I also love that the new version has the ability to link stems to specific guitar parts: so when someone is reading my transcriptions, they can hear the individual parts along with them!
The ultimate modern guitar hero with a right-hand groove that is second to none.

I use Guitar Pro every day. Many bands I worked with had scores of their solos in Guitar Pro format, and I noticed that more and more people were using this software, but I didn’t know how this software could be useful to me.
When I created my Youtube channel, I needed a software to transcribe my scores. I discovered that Guitar Pro is a great software for guitar, but also for many other instruments.
Since my Youtube channel is not limited to guitar, Guitar Pro offers me everything I need, and that’s why I use it every day
With Guitar Pro I can edit a score in 5 minutes.
