Although I don’t use it often, I have used it to learn songs Richard. I follow the song in GP, slow it down and gradually speed it up as I learn it, loop a section and then keep expanding the loop as I learn it.
I’ve also used it to write tabs of a few licks or parts of songs I’ve tried to learn by ear. I think it was well worth the relatively inexpensive cost.

I use it fairly often. Mainly to transcribe Tabs from Brians lessons pre-Soundslice. Combining with the lesson background track makes it easier to learn the lesson and at some point add to it.
I also take tabs that I have from around 1996 and add recordings or modified background tracks. I’m working on a few of those that I hope to be able to Post.
Anyway I find it invaluable and educational 🙂

I have been using Guitar Pro for a few years now and think it’s a great learning tool. So far I have used it for:
[ul]
[li]Creating my own interactive tabs for the older AM lessons that do not have “Soundslice”. I can then upload them to my free online Soundslice account, link and sync Brian’s YT video and have the exact same learning tool like the newer lessons.[/li]
[li]Transforming any “dry” pdf tabs into interactive tablature[/li]
[li]Tabbing my own compositions – or rather learning how to tab them – still working on that[/li]
[li]Writing down quick lick or riff ideas[/li]
[li]Transcribing – by inserting the audio file and trying to work on it measure by measure. That’s definitely difficult but a great transcribing tool, for sure.[/li]
[li]Also – MySongBook is a vast library of professionally made multi-track GP tabs for thousands of widely known songs which you can purchase at a very reasonable price, like $1 per song or so. They sound fantastic, very close to the originals.[/li]
[li]Learning bits and pieces from free GP resources. Once in a while they email you packs of free samples and song riffs.[/li]
[/ul]So yeah, I definitely like the program 🙂

I still use it too though not as much as in the past when I used it a lot to play tabs gleaned from the internet. I still have a library of those and GP is my tool of choice for those if and when I want to revisit them.
These days I mostly use it for scoring. Either when transcribing songs or recording something I’ve “composed” such as riff or lick or maybe a challenge response I’m working on. It acts like a junk yard of musical scraps that I can dig into when I’m in need of ideas.
One thing I’ve noticed over the time I’ve use it, particularly when transcribing is that these days I can hear the notes so scoring them is easy but GP helps me to get the rhythmic elements right eg note length etc. It also enforces musical standards like note per bar etc and that in turn helps improve my playing in other scenarios. -
