Guitar Pro 8 Tutorial for Beginners - Guitar Pro 8 101

IN TABLATURE NOTATION, IS THERE ANY WAY TO TURN OFF THE LINES/STEMS SO ITS JUST SIMPLE TAB WITH NO TIMING. I WANT IT CLEANER LOOKING WITHOUT ALL THAT. CHEERS

do the moronic ads come with it?

thanks in advance for your video: but I still don't understand what guitar pro 8 actually stands for. I would like to learn to play guitar with musical notes. I want to learn step by step: reading notes, practicing scales, learning to play chords. is this app good or are there other apps you can recommend? thank you.

Can you flip the tablature? And not have it upside down?

I don't think Guitar Pro has the ability to provide any come of support to users. We are supposed to slog through the 300+ pdf doc.

If you are not "PRO" musical, do not buy this piece of crap software... it's can't transcript your melody mp3 file to the tab automatically... when you use this scam software it will make you feel like: you play CD player and you take a piece of paper and pen to write your melody of you hear from CD player to paper manually...😐

Hello, I see you're using Guitar Pro on a Mac. I was unable to download G-Pro 8 on my 2022 MacBook Pro. I tried modifying my MB Pro settings but still kept getting "installation failed" messages. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I bought version 6 back around 2011. It is a hard copy on DVD. So cool to have.

I wanna purchase this but installing the guitar pro 8 is giving me an error. Anyone know whats the problem?

Thanks! A question: how can i put a new note between existing notes? or just shift the notes to the right so i have space to insert a note.

Thank you very much for this video as I found it to be a helpful introduction to Guitarpro 8. I do have the following request. I wish to be able to simply play my guitar, input the audio directly to Guitarpro 8, and have the tabs automatically created. Does Guitarpro 8 provide this capability? At this time, want to keep it simple and not add backing tracks, etc. Please provide a step by step tutorial regarding how to set this up. Also, please indicate if any additional hardware or software is required and explain how to set this up also Guitarpro 8. Thank you.

Thanks for great tutorial, Brad! 🙏🏼👍 I had set a goal to learn to transcribe in 2023. I bought Guitar Pro 8 in 2022, but was struggling to make of how to use it. You have shown me how to get started, so now I’m on my way.

can i hook my guitar to this so i can play along and hear my guitar on there

Good intro! Thanks.

Dude did you grow up in Southern California? You sound and look familiar 🤔

Well done maestro... this makes teaching way easier now!

How do I scroll through the bars quickly? I read the user guide and it says to hold alt and mouse wheel but it isn't doing anything. The closest shortcut I've found is pressing ctrl + arrows but I want a keyboard key with my mouse wheel cuz taking the right hand off the mouse to press the arrows isn't productive

Very helpful thanks mate

Dude you're so sofisticated, so well explained, props to you and we appreciate that sir.

FG-200D Electric Guitar - can I use this with guitar pro 8? Thank you all.

Hi great tutorial! Got a couple of questions, if someone writes a solo in guitar pro, from his website, can I download it into Guitar Pro, and then play it back in it and slow it down? Also as you mentioned change it to a different key?

You forgot to mention that when you click download, you have to log in. Suprise, suprise

Soo ... How do i change the tempo(speed) of the song so I can play along with it / better understand it???

Can I not transpose the bass track from a 4 string to a 5 string like I can on desktop? That’s super inconvenient if that’s stripped from the mobile version

I like the GP software but my main gripe is the consistency of tab quality, for instance this master of puppets tab is wrong in some crucial parts and that is not a great thing for beginners

I had Guitar Pro 7 and I knew already most of the information you addressed. But so thankful to see you explain it all again for anyone who may need to see this. :D

Sheez!!!! How many quick launch icons do you have in your bottom bar?!?!?!?!?!? You have that many programs you use that often? 😮😏

So Was still using GP6 and have not changed my system other than having to change my hard drive now all of a sudden my GP6 does not work after reinstalling. So making me wonder did you purposely make changes to keep me from using it? and make me upgrade? I did upgrade at one time to 6.5 but lost my key. And my download. This is supposed to be good if I do not change my system for life. I am 66 and don't use it much but I paid for it. And it should still be working. I do not have the budget to keep upgrading everything all the time. Life is short. ???

Hi, thanks for this! How do I switch fingerboard to left-handed? Thanks!

I love this video,but I’ve been searching far and wide and downloaded free trials cause all I wanna do is play electric guitar into my laptop and have software that can transcribe it into tab and standard notation…any ideas? Thanks

im trying to turn my songs into tabs and was wondering if i have to do it all manually or if there is a way for it to write the tabs as i play my guitar?

I imported a song but I just want to learn it and not write anything but I cant figure out how to make the song big enough to read it. How do I loop sections. I am looking for these answers but cant seem to find them.

I'm still using GP7 and today it started to crashing when I export audio files as MP3 and WAV...
I've been using it for years...
Does anyone know how to solve/fix it?

I've been playing the guitar for many years and never wound of
believed in my wildest dreams that this software would come true. This is a time saver, I just came across it and will purchase it, 4sure.

I’m an absolute neophyte at Guitar Pro…not at tab, or music notation, just at GP. I hope you are sincere about answering comments. I have plenty of questions. More tutorials start way above my head even though they call the info “beginner”. This video is very good and I understand…so far. Thanks. JimW …more to follow in future comments…

Can you stack chords by entering the chord name vs putting in the notes that make up the chord

Thanks for this, it's very helpful. I had no idea Guitar Pro has so many cool features. It's Black Friday, so will be taking advantage of the deal!

Very informative video, Thanks for making it.

can you do a video on how to cut out measures and paste in new ones and move sections of the score around..........also a video on how bridge across measures with note that are held etc.......

Nice job! Wish this available when I started playing 50 years ago, but I'd still probably suck.

I really would like to know if there is a possibillity to just write Leadsheets in letz say the style of the real book or something simular. I played around with the trial version but did not find something to mainly transcribe the chords in an easy to read way and with propper lead sheet style. so far the only program i found where i can write decente lead sheets is band in a box. but the down part of that program is that it is totaly overloaded with features and its very big to install. are there any suggestions you can make regarding GP or any other program that can do this with ease?
I mean the writng of TAB and and all this might is interesting for metal and rock guitar players and deaftones. but to more jazzy guys or arrangers its totaly useless since musicians can read music in a traditional way and also dont need chord symbol over the note lines. thanx you best regards chris

I am a very good bassist by ear that also plays decent guitar, but I need to learn to read music. Will GP8 help me do that besides all the other stuff I can do with it in the future?

I just got Guitar Pro 8. Your vid here helps big time. One thing I haven't been able to find, maybe you can help? For placing chords, it seems you have to have a note for the beat placement of the chord, but I want to place chords where a note is held. For example, on "The Christmas Song," 2nd measure (4/4 time), where the lyrics go: | Chest nuts roas-ting on an | op-en fire |, open fire is two 8th notes, a half note, and a quarter rest. I want to put chords above beats 3 and 4, but since there's no note on beat 3 (the half note spans beats 2 and 3), the software won't let me. I use a work-around by tying two quarter notes in place of the half note, but it makes the lyric melody slightly cumbersome (less easy) to read. Here's my question: Do you know how to place chords anywhere above the melody irrespective of how the melody lays on the beat? Note: It doesn't matter, in this case, if guitar pro will be able to play it back correctly (although that would be nice); I just want to be able to print it out like that.

I "remember" the previous versions were able to display the lyrics of a midi karaoke file, but the current version can't, is this true and how to show the lyrics of a midi file?

I assume it can show slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs, bends etc.Does it? How?

Tuning is greyed out on Track panel. What does it mean? Is the tuning locked on my songbook files?

Great video, How do I change the "Highlight Current played bar" to another color other than pale yellow, say I want to do a pale blue or something?
