Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the software for its excellent user experience, finding it intuitive, easy to learn, and a powerful tool for transcribing, arranging, and practicing music. Many highlight its usefulness for writing notes and tabs for various instruments, creating backing tracks, and its overall robust and straightforward functionality. People appreciate the clean and intuitive display, the helpfulness of the software in improving their playing, and the valuable features it offers for both learning and composition. However, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the app and its quality. A few users found specific actions, like selecting bars or panning volume, to be tedious and difficult. There were also mentions of the app crashing on Windows 11 and limited sounds compared to older versions. Some reviewers were disappointed with the lack of a full version for tablets, the limited text options, and the difficulty in adjusting measure markings. Additionally, some felt the sound quality was poor and desired the ability to integrate audio tracks with drum, guitar, and bass plugins for more realistic sounds.

‘Upgraded’ from GP6

‘Upgraded’ from GP6. Very limited sounds in 8 compared to 6 and constantly crashing in Windows 11. Have reverted to GP6, much more stable and user friendly. £25 wasted.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to read about your experience.

We’re actually quite surprised by your remarks because Guitar Pro 8 offers several improvements compared to Guitar Pro 6.

For example, GP8 includes all the additional RSE sound banks by default, without any extra purchase. You get far more instruments and sounds out of the box than in GP6.

The interface has also been redesigned to make it more intuitive and comfortable for editing and navigation. Many long-time users have found the workflow simpler once they get used to the changes.

Regarding stability, Guitar Pro 8 is a modern 64‑bit application and is generally considered very stable, provided that your system meets the minimum requirements (Windows 8, 10, or 11 in 64‑bit, or macOS 10.13 and above).

Crashes are not expected, and we’d be happy to investigate what’s happening on your setup.

Our support team is here to help:

We hope we can assist you and that you might reconsider your rating once the issues are resolved.

Best Guitar tool I have purchased

One of the best product I have purchased, introduced to it through JustinGuitar on a Blue Immersion course. It has been invaluable for practicing along with supplied material and recommended song, use loop and slow dow to practice with. I have used it to transcribe, where it is great, slowing down individual bars and looking to help identify the notes, and then using it to properly write down the rhythm as well as the TAB, I have learnt and improved a lot this way.

iPad/Tablet full version

I’m a professional guitar player currently learning to read, play, and write sheet music.

Overall, the software is excellent — super easy to use. The display is clean and intuitive, and I really love it.

BUT: It really needs a full version that works on iPad/tablets.

That would make GuitarPro the ultimate guitar tool and ecosystem for guitar players.

Hope this helps and, once again, great job creating such a wonderful platform and community for musicians!

OF course I found that GP8 is rich with features and libraries , but as a maker of LED-lit MIDI guitar controllers need to interface tablature to our fingerboard for display. And inasmuch as we are iOS-centric, we need to export the lighting stream from GP over BLE to the iTar. That's our goal.

Thanks for your review and for sharing your vision.

It seems we’ve exchanged several times via our support channel, and we replied to your last message back in June 2025. We haven’t heard back since then, but of course we remain available if you'd like to continue the conversation.

Guitar Pro doesn’t currently support Bluetooth MIDI output (BLE), but standard MIDI output is available in the desktop version and might help with routing note data to your system.

Thanks again for your feedback and your interest in Guitar Pro.

Discount code after purchase

I really like this software, I just purchased it again, although when I got the license, I got another email with a discount code to buy it cheaper. It is really disappointing.
UPDATE!: They took care of my discount! Amazing service, quick and effective.

It needs some improvements

It needs some improvements. I need to be able to move things below the TAB, so its not cluttered. Really hate the lack of flexibility.
Update Response: GP Team had been contacted before this review explaining the need to not stuff things like Palm Muting between the clef and TAB, as it’s cluttered. They seemed very uninterested. The stylesheet doesn’t address such issues. Maybe it’s not a popular request. IDK

Overall great product with a few usability quirks

Guitar Pro has a ton of incredibly useful features. Unfortunately, like with any program that feature rich, it requires a learning curve. Once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, it is fantastic.
A couple of small quirks - the lyrics editor is not very useful as is. I understand why they do it the way they do but it makes for a sub-optimal experience.
The songbook subscription is not useful to me because I can't edit any of the files. It supposedly has to do with copyright laws but save your money on that one.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the software, especially once the learning curve is tackled.

We’ll keep your feedback in mind for future updates. As for mySongBook, indeed, it’s protected by copyright and licensing agreements, which is why file editing is limited for these scores. We hope to offer more flexibility down the road.
