Guitar Pro is an application that has been developed to facilitate the learning or composition of those who want to play the guitar or produce their pieces from a platform that is installed on our computers Windows in seconds. You have to keep in mind, in any case, that we are talking about paid software, which offers only a trial version of 15 days, after which you will have to pay to continue using it.

Although Guitar Pro, as its name suggests, is specially designed to work with a guitar, we must not lose sight of the fact that it has the necessary elements to use other seven, five, and four-string instruments. In this way, if you want to learn some of the basic movements of the guitar, banjo, or bass, you can also use this program indistinctly, which is one of its significant advantages.

Guitar Pro offers us a score editing system with multitrack support, which allows us to use it for almost any use we are interested in, always trying to improve our practice with any of the instruments mentioned above. But it can also benefit more advanced users as a tool for compiling different pieces we share or store.

Continuing with the internal elements in Guitar Pro, we should also mention that it has a guitar tuner, a diagram generator, and a metronome. At this point, it is essential to point out that many of this application's contents or functions can only be taken advantage of if we have some strong knowledge in the field before using this program.

One of the significant advantages of Guitar Pro over other similar applications is the integrated RSE engine, thanks to which we can play all kinds of sounds with a quality above average. This allows us to listen to them while we develop our notes and scores in real-time to ensure they are up to our expectations.

Of course, the RSE engine and some other features, such as the elimination of watermarks on the score printouts, or the no-bar limit, can only be enjoyed if we pay for the application at the end of the trial period. That is to say, the trial version of Guitar Pro is not as complete as the one we can finally buy, so keep this in mind if you plan to pay for it.

We talked before about printing scores, and this application has support for printing them on paper, although, as we said, they will have a watermark when we make them without paying for the service. This detail undoubtedly puts this application ahead of other similar ones.

And how much does the application cost? It is not too cheap, to tell the truth, considering that it has an estimated price of $69.95, so you will have to carefully analyze if it is what you are looking for before paying for it. In any case, it is crucial to consider that by paying for it, we are entitled to download and use it on up to five computers, which may make you rethink the situation.

The interface of Guitar Pro is another element that puts this application ahead of many others that we can recommend. It is an absolute marvel for the number of functions at a glance and how well presented they are. Even it is appreciated at the same time that the central portion of the screen is occupied by the scores, as it should be, so do not hesitate to try it if you are demanding aesthetics.

Suppose we have to highlight the main advantages of Guitar Pro that allow us to recommend it. In that case, we will have to talk then about the fact that it is a program that allows us to work with several tracks and offers us different examples for us to see. It also allows us to work with various instruments, expand them to use them in full screen, and offer the possibility to take advantage of amplifiers and digital effects.

Of course, Guitar Pro also has some issues in which we could say that it does not convince us, and in this sense, it is possible to say that it requires previous learning in the use of this type of program, as well as in the use of the guitar. You have to take this issue into account because otherwise, it will give you the feeling that you cannot take full advantage of the qualities of this software.

In summary, we are sure that Guitar Pro is an excellent option to take into account when we want a program compatible with several string instruments to create our own musical pieces. Unfortunately, it is a paid application, but we consider that the 15 days of the trial version may be enough to know if we are interested in this service.
