Does it for me

I’m low standard tech so probably don’t use full potential of the App, but as a convenient “take on holiday with your guitar “ it’s brilliant.

Stripped down version (don’t bother)

Due to the lack of ability to add the simplest of techniques such as palm mutes, slides, pinch harmonics and dotted notes etc it is a waste of space on your device. This is only a pre made tab reader/player. Don’t waste your money, just get a different tab reader/player that’s free.

Viele Features fehlen

Bitte support für Audio-Track hinzufügen

沒有簡譜,也沒有音樂導入。

功能真的有一點點的陽春,感覺真的很不pro希望未來可以好好更新一下注重一下平板的市場,這樣子正式版應該會更好賣。

Poor interface and bad midi sound

After using desktop version this app feels cheep and poor on functionality and midi player. It is impossible to zoom out and have layout with multiple instruments.

Excellent support !

J’utilise GP depuis très longtemps, certes l’application n’est pas aussi complète que le logiciel PC OU Mac, mais elle est un excellent outil.
Je suis enseignant en guitare, et j’organise des stages. Ceux de mes élèves qui veulent bien se procurer l’appli bénéficient d’avantages tels que : la mémorisation de la partition via le téléphone, la possibilité d’écouter la partition et de s’en servir d’accompagnement (ralentit et sélection possibles)
Il y a de nombreuses années, je demandais à mes élèves de venir avec une K7 audio, ainsi je leur enregistrais un résumé du cours. Il y avait alors de gros progrès, car plus moyen d’oublier quoi que ce soit !
Dès que j’ai découvert GP j’en ai fait le même usage !
Ça m’évite aussi de courir après mes partition et arrangements,
Tout dans mon ordi, mon telephone, ou ma boîte mail !
Extraordinairement !!!
Et puis bon, ça n’est pas de la grande musique, du gros son, mais ça n’est pas le but !!!
Merci

Zum Üben idealer Begleiter

Macht was er soll und dieses hervorragend

Logiciel imparfait

Dommage de proposer une version incomplète pour iPad.
nb : j’utilise Guitar Pro depuis la version 5 (que je trouvais beaucoup plus accessible en écriture) sur mon portable.
Ce logiciel sert pour mes montages audio qui accompagneront les vidéos que je poste sur YouTube.
La version 8.### est très difficile dans les réglages. La variété de sonorité n'est pas pour moi un atout.

Guitar pro

Don’t get this , you have to pay upfront just to open the app , then a subscription of 5 dollars a month after that .. it’s insanely complicated and didn’t have any of the songs that I wanted to play.. I only downloaded it so I could put tabs on my own videos .. just get songster it’s way better. The free version is pretty good as well

Great App!… on a desktop

I’ve tried several music writing apps for different instruments including the guitar. The desktop version of guitar pro is by far my favorite. I have tried 4 different apps and guitar pro is the most intuitive and easy to use for guitar, piano, and even Bb instruments like the alto sax. However, when using this app on an iPad its most unique options, like transcribing for non-concert pitch instruments, are gone. So is the intuitiveness. I was going to upgrade to 8 but my understanding is that the same limitations are on the new version. Oh well, still may favorite desk top writing system. I’ll stick with it until someone comes up with a better mobile version.

Trash vs Desktop

For anyone without access to a computer at all times who likes to jot down an abundance of ideas, GP iOS consistently falls short. I have had so many great ideas erased just by switching instruments it causes unbelievable frustration. Instead of designing some kind of failsafe feature to preserve notes after switching instruments, this app will automatically erase 2 lowest string notes after switching guitar sounds when using 8 string instruments. I would love to be able to do some simple layering of instruments so I can have a bass and guitar play together, but this isn’t possible in the notepad feature. I find myself trying to use one single staff to harmonize and then separate them later on the computer version. Not sure why this app was designed to be so disappointing in so many ways… Please improve features above and maybe I could provide a better review.

No bpm adjustment?!

Just a slider for tempo!? How can you claim this to be useful for practice if you can’t adjust the tempo by a couple of bpm at a time? Would appreciate a refund.

Peu d’évolution…

Bonjour,
application pratique et sympa mais depuis plus d’un an, on nous promet une grosse MaJ avec de grosses nouveautés mais rien ne vient… vraiment dommage car à côté, d’autres arrivent en force

Been using it for years to keep a note of all my homebrew riffs

Always been good for keeping track of riffs I've noodled out and stuff cause I have a bad memory, could just do with multi instrument arrangement options so I could potentially tab out a whole song with harmonies, bass, maybe some drums etc.. still a great app just missing something small

No crossover to desktop

Full desktop version purchased. No credit whatsoever on the Moble.

✅✅✅✅✅

i’ve learned a lot and have improved immensely through the use of this app.

Keyboard shortcuts support

Please add keyboard shortcut support. It’s disappointing that even simple, basic shortcuts like pressing the Spacebar to start playback aren’t supported.

Где Speed Trainer и почему такой шаг скорости?

Очень не хватает функционала десктопной версии! Для нормальной отработки соло приложение непригодно. Почему скорость можно менять только с шагом в 10%? Для гитариста это гигантский скачок, убивающий весь смысл постепенного наращивания темпа. И очень обидно, что до сих пор не добавили автоматическое увеличение скорости (speed trainer) при зацикливании фрагмента. Жду обновления с этими функциями, а пока это ставлю низкую оценку.

Frustrating connection to mysongbook

Great app for learning when mysongbook works, but loses connection and can’t access tabs even though viewing mysongbook account via the app is possible. Frequently shows error that mysongbook account not connected even when logged in. Marked down for this bug, otherwise 5 star app.
Even though I’ve bought score on mysongbook on my mac GP Pro8, the iPad app asks me to buy it again.
Won’t sync the score. iPad MSB account shows I’ve bought the song and asks me to buy it again. Why?

Déçu

Je pensais pouvoir lire mes pistes audio ajoutées avec Gp8 mais ce n’est hélas pas le cas. Sans cette fonction l’appli dans mon cas ne sert à rien. A part ça c’est correct, mais ce décalage entre gp8 et l’appli est incompréhensible…
