So what is a guitar pro tab? Guitar Pro tabs are interactive tablature files than can be used in Guitar Pro interactive tablature tabs software. Interactive tabs are different from graphic tablature you can find on books, e-books, and websites.
Before we even go further, a guitar tab is a kind of notation which will teach a guitar player which strings to be pressed, which fret, and which finger to be used to press the strings. It will also indicate if you have to bend the strings, hammer on or slide among other things. This is shown in a graphic format for the player to follow.
What is cool about a Guitar Pro tab is that it has all these information plus the ability to play by itself. So if you are learning a song, you can watch which notes are played plus you hear the actual notes played. It is basically an audiovisual tab. You can even use the tab as a backing track and you will be performing as a one man band with your laptop.
Is this a good method to learn how to play the guitar? This is a good method but I would still recommend that you have an instructor to monitor your progress. In JamPlay you will have an instructor to teach you the lessons, you will see how it is done on multi-angle video and they have also the interactive tabs and sheet music similar to Guitar Pro.
Learning on Guitar Pro is okay but you will not see how it is done. Plus the files are just uploaded by individuals and sometimes of very poor quality. The files on JamPlay are copyrighted from originals. You are actually supporting your favorite band by joining JamPlay. So check it out.

Hiya. I love the article and this new tablature software I’m interested in ”guitar pro tab” I,m only a guitar beginner and this is something I might look into to improve my guitar playing. I have been learning guitar of youtube on and of but it doesn’t go into a step by step basis. I’m thinking about going to music school and being taught by an instructor but this comes with a cost plus the time. I look into this again soon. Thanks
Hi Michael,
Guitar Pro is a very good interactive tablature software which you can hear and see the notes played. It is very nice to follow and can be used as a backing track so you can perform like a one man band. If you want a structured training I suggest you try JamPlay. They have instructors, multiangle videos, and interactive tablature similar to Guitar Pro. It is also cheaper than going to music schools plus you will learning at home.
Thanks for the comments,

Very good information on guitar pro tab, I’ve only started to learn how to play the guitar. I’m a keyboardist by trade but have started to adventure into learning how to play the guitar. The learning curve is very steep, so I can understand how helpful it would be to have an instructor to monitor your progress, I will look into that.
Hi Nate,
Guitar Pro is a very good tablature software. It could help you learn guitar faster than just watching videos on you tube.
