WOW! There is tons of free guitar software out there… Even a handful of apps that can open GuitarPro files (prolly do a better job than the POS mac version of guitarpro). (These are either osx apps, LINUX apps that can run on OSX, or Web/Java apps). [All are usable at least under OSX, though at levels of functionality that I can't yet say]
Found via Sourceforge.net
**TabView:”TabView makes it possible to view and print PowerTab tablatures. PowerTab is a well-known and widely adopted tablature editor for Windows systems. You can easily find thousands of song transcriptions in this format on the net. (OSX App)”
**DGuitar Pro: Views, Prints and Plays Guitar Pro (*.GP4,*.GP3,GTP) files!!
**TuxGuitar: A multitrack guitar tablature editor and player written in Java-SWT, Opens GP3,GP4 and GP5 files! Works!! And made “Images” by Cacaphony sound awesome, since it changed a few of the instruments from the GP4 file… (Electronic drums! haha!) And is much smoother working than the official GP for Mac (< a href="http://apoc.buildtolearn.net/wordpress/2006/08/07/guitar-pro-5-for-mac/">blech). Yay!
Hendrix “trains your chords switching skill, in guitar or piano or any other harmonic tool. Hendrix includes metronome and guitar chords dictionary. JavaScript only!”
Tuners:
Instrument Tuner in Java
Untested/Whack:
Tablature is a Java program that lets you author guitar and bass tablatures graphically, playback the songs and publish them into the Web !” (Works, but is awkward and not so useful…)
KGuitar: Untested guitar tab editor for KDE (might work in X11, but don’t have the time to test right now). Can open GP4 files!
