More about Guitar Pro 5

Guitar Pro is a multi-track, guitar and bass tab and sheet music editor with a built-in MIDI editor, chord tracer, player, metronome and other tools for musicians.

The software is available for Windows and Mac OS X (Intel processors only) and is written by the French company Arobas Music.

That said, and unlike previous versions of Guitar Pro, Guitar Pro 5 is available for both Macintosh and Windows platforms.

In this particular case, the GP5 file can be used to save sheet music or musical compositions for guitar, bass, or banjo.

In this way, sheet music can be used to play guitar sounds, but GP5 files do not contain actual audio data.

Therefore, GP5 files are not considered audio or multimedia files, and therefore cannot be played normally, that is, they need the software that created them.

GP5 files are compatible with Guitar Pro 6 and can still be exported to.
