Guitar Pro is a long running editor for tablature and musical scores, made for guitarists, bassists and other musicians who write or learn songs on a Mac. You can build full arrangements with many tracks, hear them played back with realistic sounds, slow tricky passages down and loop them until they feel easy. It works just as well for quick song ideas as for careful transcription work. Updated Aug 22, 2026.
