Where to Get Help, Downloads, and Release Notes for Guitar Pro

Updated

Guitar Pro's official site (guitar-pro.com) routes support through four main areas: a User Guide, a Help Center, a Downloads page, and Release Notes. You can also reach the team directly via a Contact link. If you're troubleshooting a problem, start with the Help Center; if you need to reinstall or update, go to Downloads; if you want to know what changed in a version, check Release Notes.

Support resources on guitar-pro.com

The site's Support section is organized into these entries:

Resource What it's for
User guide Documentation on how to use the software
Help center Troubleshooting and answers to common questions
Downloads Getting the software installer
Release notes Version-by-version change history
Contact Reaching the official support team

These appear together in the site navigation, so you don't have to hunt across separate domains.

Which one to use

  • Something isn't working as expected → Help center first, then Contact if it's unresolved.
  • You need to install, reinstall, or update → Downloads.
  • You want to know what's new or what a version changed → Release notes.
  • You want to learn how to use a feature → User guide.

Related resources on the same site

Beyond support, guitar-pro.com also hosts:

  • MySongBook — a library of music scores and tabs, browsable by artist or genre.
  • Artists Academy — structured guitar lessons and modules, from a first guitar course through rhythm, notation, chords, techniques, scales, maintenance, and effects.
  • Blog — articles across categories including bass lessons, music theory, drum lessons, Guitar Pro news & tips, and guitar lessons.

If your question is about finding tabs or lessons rather than fixing the software, those sections are where to look.

If you're also deciding on the software

The site lists Guitar Pro 8 for Windows/macOS, Guitar Pro Education, and mobile apps for iOS/Android. It also notes a special offer for existing users upgrading an old license. Pricing details aren't specified in the material available here, so check the store page directly for current terms rather than assuming a price or a free option.

A practical order of operations

  1. Check Release notes if the issue appeared after an update.
  2. Search the Help center for your symptom.
  3. Confirm you're on the current build via Downloads.
  4. Use Contact only after the above, and include your version and platform.
