Write:
Guitar Pro allows you to compose and read music scores using the musical notation of your favorite instrument. Display the tablature notation to learn guitar riffs or use the standard notation to read music score for piano, drums, brass and strings. Rediscover also the Slash notation to sight-read easily rhythmic patterns from chord charts.
Play:
Hit play and the tab automatically scrolls on. A highlighted cursor lets you know which note is being played and the sound engine reproduces all of the effects specific to the guitar: pick stroking and fingerpicking, bend, slide and ghost notes. You can also adjust tempo or use the speed trainer to loop a section of the score while increasing the bpm (beat per minute).
Mix:
Drive your Guitar Pro files with the instrument's global view available below the sheet music. It allows you to have a synthetic view of the instrument tracks and thus to easily move around it.

Simply solo/mute the tracks you want as if you were playing along with your band.
