Over the last 50 or so years, the level of detail available in transcriptions of popular guitar music has grown from the simple (and often wildly inaccurate) chord diagrams of the '60s, to the point today where any guitarist's performance can be meticulously written out in such extreme detail that every note and nuance of the original can be captured, transcribed, read and - ability permitting - replayed. If you write for guitar, you'll not only be putting notes to paper, but you'll also need a comprehensive vocabulary of additional notation symbols to be able to fully communicate your ideas to another player. Apart from the basic notes, the transcriber has to notate string/fret positions, note bends, arpeggios, sweeps, taps and the myriad other physical subtleties that go into reproducing the performance on paper. If you've ever picked up a book of highly accurate transcriptions of the playing of one of the great exponents of the acoustic or electric guitar, you'll no doubt have realised just how complex a guitar piece can be, and just how detailed the notation of the interaction between fingers, strings and frets has to be in order to fully capture the music being made. Guitar Pro 6's armoury of tab symbols incorporates a staggering array of special notation devices, and string bends are highly configurable. I close the window after a few seconds and there seems to be no problem.Writing down every nuance of a guitarist's performance is a challenge that can tax even the best notation software. When the installation of the Soundbanks is finished, it tells us to wait, but it always fails me and the wait is infinite. If you think that everything is going very slowly, the computer I have used is very discreet, and it tends to suffer when I install software. If you are watching the video, here I open Tux Guitar to compare.
