Guitar Lessons tools - Tux Guitar, Opensource Tablature Editor

There is a lot of guitar tablature software today. From just tab editor to complex guitar learning tools, but none of them is free and run on linux. When i heard about tuxguitar, i was surprised that it was free and opensource, and its run on linux too.

Tux Guitar have very complete feature, that set any competition with commercial guitar tab software. You will be able to compose music using :

- Tablature editor
- Score Viewer
- Multitrack display
- Autoscroll while playing
- Note duration management
- Various effect, like bend, slide, vibrato, hammer on, pull-off
- Repeat open and close
- Time signature management
- Tempo management

As you know, most guitar tab site offer their song tab in Guitar Pro format, TuxGuitar can open and export several popular format : Guitar Pro gp3, gp4, gp5, and Powertab .ptb file. Also it can export your tab to MIDI, ASCII, XML and even PDF.

If you playing guitar, and linux user too, then i recommend this Tuxguitar
