Hello!

I’m wondering if things have changed. I started learning guitar in 2010 or so, and back then at school we all had Guitar Pro or something similar and we used to learn by listening to the track and to the guitar pro tab in turns.

I’ve been seeing a lot of videos about computer virtual amps recently and realised the world of guitar has changed and I’ve been disconnected from it for a long time. Is the tab/guitar pro method still the popular one? How do you learn?

Since then, I’ve moved on to 100% by ear because there were no tabs for my artists anyway. But I’m just wondering what the world of guitar learning is like now?

    You don’t need a subscription to download tabs from UG only to see the tabs made by the editors. (Maybe you need a free account though.)

    Tux Guitar is a free replacement for Guitar Pro. It’s not as good, but it works fine if you just want to view tabs and it has a neat training mode for playback.

      I really dislike tuxguitar. Musescore is another alternative. Even though musescore is meant more as a scoring and engraving program, it works great for tabs too. The UI on tuxguitar is just so ugly imo lol.
