GP5 is a multitrack tablature music software for guitar, banjo and bass. Besides writing scores, GP5 is a useful resource for guitarists from beginner to experienced levels to progress , compose , or simply accompany themselves.

A Standard is born...
Become the de facto standard for electronic tablatures, Guitar Pro allows you to access huge online archives growing every day with various style contents.
More than 40,000 tablatures are already available in Guitar Pro format (*.gtp, *.gp3, *.gp4 and *.gp5) on the Internet. You can see the list of sites in the Resources section.

MIDI Import/Export
MIDI Import allows to convert a MIDI file (simple description of musical notes) into a true multitrack tablature.
Guitar Pro computes and optimizes each note position on the fretboard in order to make the score as easy as possible to play.
Guitar Pro is also able to export the tablature to a MIDI file in order to use it in other softwares.

ASCII Import/Export
The ASCII format - or simple text file - was the first format used to share tablatures.
Given the ease of use with a simple text editor, this format is widely spread despite its obsolescence (no way to play the score...).
Guitar Pro allows you to convert these text files into Guitar Pro scores in a simple mouse click to listen to them or to print them.
Guitar Pro is also able to convert a tablature into a ASCII file.

WAVE Export
The WAVE Export allows you to convert a Guitar Pro file into an audio file. This way, it will be playable without Guitar Pro, and you will be able to burn it onto an audio CD.

BMP Export
The BMP Export (image) allows you to save your tablatures to a big image. This image can be integrated in a web page to spread it for example.
