[@nahuelcutrera]

great video man ! I used this software for 15 years and didn't knew it had that progressive time stuff. Love it.

[@SerenityAdvertising]

Thank you, that is incredible helpful. Waiting patiently for your Guitar Pro tutorial.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Glad to hear that, Neil! Definitely looking like the Guitar Pro course is in the highest demand from Arrangers Academy members right now

[@henrypark4356]

If you have time, could you someday make a video about posture? Because I recorded myself one day and saw that my posture was just a mess compared to KZbin guitarists. And maybe videos about basic left and right hand technique would be great as well. Also I really enjoyed the guitar warm-up video that you posted a couple months ago. I really love this channel and everything you are doing. :)

[@guitarpro]

This is a very useful Guitar Pro tutorial, thanks a lot Nathan!

[@darrynsantanamusic]

Fantastic Video my man! 👏👏

[@aditsingh4083]

Great tutorial. Love it. It's been one and half year watching your videos. And honestly it really helped me arranging some good songs. Now arranging songs to me has become more easy. Thank you😌😌❤

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

This I love to hear. Keep it up

[@aditsingh4083]

@@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy well pls never stop making tutorial.thnk u🥰🥰

[@AcousticOST]

I’ve been using this for months now, how did I not know about the count in feature?!?!? Super helpful stuff as always 👍

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

haha lots of little hidden nuggets in the ol' guitar pro

[@AlessandroColonnese]

Thank you!! I didn't know about this tool

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

You're very welcome

[@michalmorawski91]

Thank you so much! Your videos are so diverse. Any chance of another guided practise session? That was extremely useful.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Definitely. Any specific types of guided practice sessions you'd like to see?

[@michalmorawski91]

For instance slow practice of dynamics. How we can explore this aspect in a highly-focused slow session to control better the volume of our playing. Just an idea. :)

[@billa6348]

I have a Boss DB-90 metronome I've used for years that has a progressive feature, and I've tried others that have similar abilities, but I've yet to find a metronome that's as easy to set up for this purpose than Guitar Pro. GP provides audio and visual feedback that has aided me in getting my music up to speed with accuracy more than any other device/software! Compared to Ableton Live--a DAW that has freed me from physical guitar pedals/loopers/etc.--GP is a breeze to learn. The return on investment is worth the effort.

[@indecisivewolf5620]

I'm still amazed at how many people refuse to use Guitar Pro because they still think it uses those old MIDI sounds. The RSE has been around for a while now and it sounds amazing in GP7. Been using GP since GP3 and even though I'm nowhere near professional level by any means, I would've never made it as far as I have with my guitar playing without it.

[@wojciechglanc]

Hi. I got guitar pro with additional subscription for mySongBook. But noticed a problem - it seems that those tabs are somehow blocked and therefore partially useless. I cannot change tempo nor add any autonatisation. I have a paid subscription and it should be possible to even print them but no...i can only read them on the screen and play back in original tempo. Have you experienced this problem? Tabs included in the software are unlocked so I can do anything. But those from mySongBook no...

[@billd3619]

very helpful. I upgraded to the PC version for this specific step increase because the IPAD version did not allow you do that. you could only set one and keep it on a loop. no progression and that is very beneficial.

[@GuitarFable]

Amazing ! I knew this tool but i haven't seen all fonction so it, i will use it the good way now Thanks a lot nathan ! I definetly don't know why someone would dislike it lol.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Probably somebody employed by MuseScore 😉

[@GuitarFable]

@@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy It make sense i guess haha

[@debmills356]

Your Fretboard Freedom is such a great perk of following you. One day maybe...

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I have been using Guitar Pro 8 for over a week now and I love it. I do have one question and I can't find the answer on the website. Can I use an existing amp plugin in Guitar Pro. I have Neural DSP's Soldano amp plugin and I have a preset that I want to use. Is there a way to import it into Guitar Pro? I have tried setting up a custom sound but I'm not getting it to sound the way I want. Maybe I'm dreaming but would be cool.

[@timbaz1638]

I was not using this feature, thank you much.

[@alanmcdowell977]

I just bought Guitar Pro 8 I have sheet music and I would like to learn how to tab out on Guitar Pro 8. Is there video or step by step on how to do this .Or a book [for dummies] can you do some step by step lessons on how to Edit a song. Think You Alan

[@markavery6124]

Hi I’ve got a question about transcribing chords in a chord melody situation where the melody note is a quarter note for example but the lower notes ring out i.e. half notes. I can’t figure out how to notate properly. I can only get them to be all quarter notes or half notes . Any help much appreciated. Mark Avery

[@steelfalconx2000]

I actually use a slowly increasing metronome for aim training for fps games lol.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Side note: show of hands - who actually knew the built-in Google metronome was even a thing? 👀

[@darrynsantanamusic]

Had no Idea, and i have been using Guitar Pro for awhile. Thanks :)

[@latinboy906]

I use it every day.

[@amirhjalili7432]

Hello, In the 6/8 rhythm, I set my metronome to the dotted black note so that I only have two ticks per measure, but the metronome still hears six beats per measure. How can I have the metronome beat twice in 6/8 rhythm?

[@arteeeeeeemis]

Nice hoodie ) Did you launch your own merch ?

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! Yeah, I did a while back. Don't really advertise it, but just launched it in case people wanted to rep the BTG 😎 teespring.com/stores/beyondtheguitar-2

[@arteeeeeeemis]

@@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy That’s awesome. I will check it for sure !

[@rogerm7922]

Is there a proper video on how to sync the audio track in guitar pro 8 with the music notation ??

[@hugoheintz]

Quick question: how often do you change your strings? Helpful video as always btw

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Not as often as I should :) I generally practice mostly with 1 guitar and record with another to keep those strings as fresh as possible for as long as possible. So generally about once a month. But if I only played on 1 guitar, with the amount I play - I would need to change strings every 2 weeks to keep them fresh

[@hugoheintz]

@@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy ok, thanks! Have had mine for about a year so it’s probably time to change them...

[@AaronWillmon]

This is my favorite feature of guitarpro.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Same! It's a shame more people don't know about it

[@ElVagabundo777]

is it possible to remove one recurring event in an entire piece? for example, remove the right hand fingering

[@mazenadel4971]

I have a question? Your guitar is classic or flamenco?

[@HappyMrGhost]

Turning Guitar Pro into Rocksmith, nice :)

[@tomsawyer2112]

not really hidden, but I don't need it for guitar. in fact it is a super tool for the drums, yes, I recommend GPro for drum practicing, the sound are pretty good, and it is pretty easy to tab in drum patterns.

[@ULGuitar]

Can it record Note from a song?

[@WorldvsTruth]

Nice. As much as I like this feature, what I really want to do is slow down a real piece of music e.g. fast guitar solo - and learn from that. Please tell me that's either in the works, or already a part of Guitar Pro 7.5. Beyond that, I'd also like to the ability to slow down (via Guitar Pro) my own recorded guitar playing - while maintaining the pitch. Please and thank you. 😊Have a blessed day.

[@neilsmith5510]

Use Transcribe if you want to slow down real music

[@WorldvsTruth]

@@neilsmith5510 Never heard of it. I'll look into it. Thanks.

[@rebelaqua823]

Many other metronomes have this feature. Not just this native advert for GP.

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Awesome! Use them 🤘

[@deansmith9369]

Just saw this video which is 2 years old. Do you still recommend Guitar Pro?

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

100% still use it every day

[@agressiveburito9855]

Do you guys know guitar pro tabs practice sheet ? From intermediate to advanced ?

[@davidadkins2563]

im going crazy,, how do you use the hidden practice tool.. my page doesnt look anything like yours..i have pro

[@zoneinfinite]

So can I open your tabs in Guitar Pro? Why do u sell them in Musicnotes format?

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Unfortunately no. I wish! I partnered exclusively with MusicNotes to sell all my tabs/sheet music because they can handle all the copyright licensing - and they don't offer the Guitar Pro format

[@zoneinfinite]

@@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy alright no worries thanks!

[@07dhiraj]

First ! :)

[@BeyondTheGuitarAcademy]

Eyyyyyyyy :)

But cickbaity ain’t it? This ain’t exactly a hidden feature
