OF course I found that GP8 is rich with features and libraries , but as a maker of LED-lit MIDI guitar controllers need to interface tablature to our fingerboard for display. And inasmuch as we are iOS-centric, we need to export the lighting stream from GP over BLE to the iTar. That's our goal.

Thanks for your review and for sharing your vision.
It seems we’ve exchanged several times via our support channel, and we replied to your last message back in June 2025. We haven’t heard back since then, but of course we remain available if you'd like to continue the conversation.
Guitar Pro doesn’t currently support Bluetooth MIDI output (BLE), but standard MIDI output is available in the desktop version and might help with routing note data to your system.
Thanks again for your feedback and your interest in Guitar Pro.

Failures in Guitar Pro for Android solved!
I had an excellent experience with Guitar Pro technical support team for Android devices. The program in my tablet had two software failures. Communication was prompt and kind. They recognized the problem and provided an efficient solution in just a few days!

Discount code after purchase
I really like this software, I just purchased it again, although when I got the license, I got another email with a discount code to buy it cheaper. It is really disappointing.
UPDATE!: They took care of my discount! Amazing service, quick and effective.

Amazing upgrade
I used gp6 forever and just recently upgraded to 8 and, although the UI confused me at first once I warmed up to it it ended up being way easier to use than 6

Love it. Makes copying licks way easier. I just bought it and haven't tried many of the features yet.
Easily worth the money just for what I have used it for already.

It needs some improvements
It needs some improvements. I need to be able to move things below the TAB, so its not cluttered. Really hate the lack of flexibility.
Update Response: GP Team had been contacted before this review explaining the need to not stuff things like Palm Muting between the clef and TAB, as it’s cluttered. They seemed very uninterested. The stylesheet doesn’t address such issues. Maybe it’s not a popular request. IDK

We're surprised to hear about the lack of flexibility you mentioned. Please feel free to reach out to our support team and let us know exactly what you'd like to adjust. Many layout and notation settings can be fine-tuned from the “File > Stylesheet” menu, which might help.

Overall great product with a few usability quirks
Guitar Pro has a ton of incredibly useful features. Unfortunately, like with any program that feature rich, it requires a learning curve. Once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, it is fantastic.
A couple of small quirks - the lyrics editor is not very useful as is. I understand why they do it the way they do but it makes for a sub-optimal experience.
The songbook subscription is not useful to me because I can't edit any of the files. It supposedly has to do with copyright laws but save your money on that one.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the software, especially once the learning curve is tackled.
We’ll keep your feedback in mind for future updates. As for mySongBook, indeed, it’s protected by copyright and licensing agreements, which is why file editing is limited for these scores. We hope to offer more flexibility down the road.

I'd thought I'd have access to the tabs GP provides by buying the software, but it seems I need to buy the songbook each year. That is disappoiting given the cost of the program.

Thanks for your feedback.
It seems there is a misunderstanding. The Guitar Pro 8 license gives access to a wide range of powerful composition and practice features. Such as score editing, multi-track tablature, realistic audio playback, chord and scale tools, advanced notation settings, and much more. You can find a complete overview here:
https://www.guitar-pro.com/c/14-guitar-pro-features
However, it does not include free access to mySongBook, which is a separate legal and paid service offering high-quality official scores under license. Subscriptions are optional.
That said, Guitar Pro can open and edit thousands of free tabs available online.

It is very useful for composing songs
It is very useful for composing songs. The sound banks are cool and it has many options, mainly for tabs. It is not a 5-star because it does not have online version. It could be great to collaborate online in real time.

Thanks for your review.
We’re sorry to hear about your frustration, and we’d like to help if we can.
We're not entirely sure what happened regarding the discount from Tim Pierce's guitar lessons, as this code may have been part of a separate promotion. We recommend reaching out directly to Tim Pierce’s team for more information about that offer.
Please note that a 7-day free trial is available so you can test the software and see if it fits your needs:

very good app
This is a great. music application. which sadly lacks in any ability to save the changes you make to your pages that you are practising on so come the next practise, you have to start the page alteration all over again. GP8 has a good selection of music. but there is always other files suitable for this application on the net. The customer service. is quite good sometimes a little slow sometimes. quite fast. The page. for choosing your music from could do with some updating Making the letters larger and adding a choice to make set lists and being able. and being able to delete music you don't want from the collection but all in all I do enjoy this. programme.
