        copying an AM pdf file into GP, so as to be able to select a few bars and loop/slow down etc. A bit like the facility offered in Brian’s lessons which is quite good, but I do find it fiddly to use on an iPad. Someone called Keith P just mentioned this in a post from a couple of years ago…. I’ve only just recently come across Guitar Pro, and I thought it was primarily an app for making your own tabs, which I don’t want to do…

        Love Taylor guitars

          Hey Nick

          I’ve not used Guitar Pro in that manner before, I have heard of others doing it

          If I’m not mistaken, using the Sound Splice app included with Brian’s lessons, you can highlight the bars that you are working on for looping & slowing them down. I think that would save a lot of steps

          BTW, Taylor guitars are great but I love Breedlove guitars…. and G&L 😉

            Or just use the Anytune app. Easiest way of all.

              I have used guitar pro before and it is fine as far as it goes. Generally you need a GPX file to use it but usually it has very limited instrumentation and is a little cold ..not allowing a lot of expression. Don’t get me wrong, it good, but I think Brian’s Sound Slice that comes with the lessons is better.
              If I want to slow things down to learn them by ear from a recoding, Song Surgeon is pretty good. Good for transcribing, slowing down, changing key, etc.
