Guitar-Pro is the only software program aspiring guitar players will need in order to learn to play or compose music. Finding efficient and affordable programs that will help beginners learn to play the guitar can be a difficult task. There are many programs out there that do not provide the right amount of training and support that a person needs in order to successfully play the guitar. Fortunately, there is a solution with Guitar-Pro. Not only is this software an excellent tool that is easy to use and provides adequate support, but it is also free to try before you buy.

Guitar-Pro guides users along through everything from learning how to tune their instrument to mastering simple chords, learning scales, playing songs, and even composing their own music. With this tool, as long as the user has the time to sit down and practice, they have all the help they will need in order to learn to play the guitar. And since Guitar-Pro is free to download and try out, there is nothing to lose.

At first, Guitar-Pro's user interface may seem to be very complex with its wide selection of options to choose from. However, further inspection shows that the software is not as complex as it may seem. The majority of the buttons are for composing, which is the final step that users will learn once they have mastered playing the guitar. There are just a few options that beginners need to familiarize themselves with when they first start using the program.

Guitar-Pro offers an assortment of features that make it an exceptional program to practice with. The digital tuner and metronome features can be very beneficial when learning those first few chords. The individual note library lets the user have a visual guide which shows them the proper finger placement and provides audio of what each chord should sound like. The program also includes a large variety of scales that each come with their own set of variations to experiment with.

Once users have mastered playing the guitar with help from Guitar-Pro, they can begin learning how to compose songs using the included music composition feature. The virtual keyboard may be a little tedious to use at first, but it is essential for creating unique songs. For even more options, users have the chance to hook up their own MIDI device, such as an electronic keyboard, so that they can create tracks that are as simple or complex as they desire.

Guitar-Pro is a very nice free program that can help users learn to play the guitar. It does have a cluttered user interface, which may turn off some beginners, but once they learn how to use the system, they will find out that it is not as difficult as it may seem. It is a good one-stop solution for beginners and experts who would like to learn to play the guitar with ease or discover how to create their own music tracks.
