Earlier this month the folks at Arobas Software, who produce the popular guitar tab software Guitar Pro, released version 6 of their application. Guitar Pro 6 represents a complete rewrite of the application that’s grown way beyond a mere tab editor and into a fully fledged score writer with support for multiple instruments and a huge library of sounds. Guitar Pro 6 has become an formidable composition tool at a price the average guitarist can afford.
We’ve had a chance to test drive the new Guitar Pro 6 and we’ve found it to be an impressive upgrade from the previous versions. It’s a great way to compose scores and learn new music from the plethora of online resources that provide free Guitar Pro tracks.

After our story on Tuesday about legal guitar tablature, one of our readers (known only as “James”) commented that we missed GuitarInstructor.com. After reviewing the site, we realize “James” was right.
Like Sheet Music Direct, Guitar Instructor has tablature available for prices as low as $.99 per tab and also pays royalties to the music publishers. Just like Sheet Music Direct, Guitar Instructor requires users to install the Sibelius Scorch software for seeing and viewing the guitar tabs. Guitar Instructor is owned by music publisher The Hal Leonard Corporation (as is Sheet Music Direct).
Furthermore, in addition to tablature the site also has *video* guitar lessons from guys like Keb’ Mo’, Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson. Those lessons range in price from $1.99 to $3.99 and integrate the tablature into the lesson. We’ll be doing a separate feature soon comparing guitar instruction sites, but we really like the way Guitar Instructor has tablature and instruction available from one quality site. There is also something spectacular about being able to have a video lesson from Keb’ Mo’. We’re fans.
