Guitar Pro 5

Cary from Electric Guitar Review has showed us a preview of the new Guitar Pro 5 application for Mac OS X. You can read all about the new release here.

Some of its features include:

* Write entire scores for guitar or bass, with input via MIDI, or through the easy to use interface.
* Write and edit in standard notation or tablature mode.
* Listen to your scores – including up to 256 tracks – in hi-quality sound.
* Print out professional quality scores in different views for different band members.
* A full Guitar Workshop right on your computer.
* Chord Finder gives you quick diagrams of all chords, in all positions – even the most obscure.
* Scale tool displays a vast array of scales: shows notes right on the simulated fretboard, or keyboard.
* Includes a digital tuner and metronome.
* Import & export ASCII Tabs, and covert ASCII files to tablature and notation.
* Export Guitar Pro 5 files to WAVE format so you can burn to CD.

This is a really great application for guitar players who also don’t know how to read notes. You can view full scales, chords and the music you write in tablature format. All for USD $59.00.
