Guitar Pro for iPhone

Portable tab and score tool — Guitar Pro on mobile

Guitar Pro is a mobile app from Arobas Music that lets musicians read, listen to, and practice both tablature and standard notation. It combines a flexible score player with editing utilities so you can work on arrangements, rehearse parts, and share your creations while away from the desktop.

Core capabilities

• Exports compatible project files so you can continue composing in Guitar Pro 6 and 7 on a computer.
• Reads legacy tab formats, including older Guitar Pro files and PowerTab (.ptb).
• Plays back scores with multiple notation styles (tab with rhythmic info, slash, and standard notation).
• Provides an on-device editor for quick edits and single-line tablature creation.
• Lets you control tempo and tuning while practicing or composing.

NotePad editor and supported instruments

The app’s NotePad lets you build a single-track tablature quickly with instrument-specific settings. It supports:

• Mandolin
• Ukulele
• Banjo
• Bass
• Guitar

Sounds, customization, and sharing

Guitar Pro includes a palette of built-in sounds (19 presets) and lets you:

• Change tuning per track and adjust tempo in real time.
• Export or share your work so it can be opened later in the desktop Guitar Pro editions.
• Use the score player to loop passages and slow sections for practice.

Recommended alternative

If you’re looking for a simple audio player option rather than a full tablature editor, consider eSound — MP3 Music Player (free). It’s a lighter choice focused on playback rather than score creation.

Who should use it

Guitar Pro is well suited for players who want a portable companion for practice and composition: hobbyists, students, and teachers who need reliable playback, quick edits, and smooth handoff to the desktop Guitar Pro environment.
