Play your first arpeggio.

An arpeggio plays the notes of a chord one at a time. In a tab, each line is a string. The number tells you which fret to play, and 0 means an open string.

Before you play.

What equipment do I need?

A guitar and a Mac or Windows computer. Use a microphone or an audio interface recognized by your system. A MIDI-equipped guitar can also send notes. Listening to demos needs no input device.

Can I start without reading music?

Yes. The basic exercises use tabs and a fretboard that shows where to put your fingers. You can listen first, slow down playback and turn on the mode that waits for the right note.

How can I practise a song I like?

Start by finding and importing a full Guitar Pro score. Choose the guitar track and the passage you want to play, then turn on the backing tracks to play along with the other instruments.

Do I need a Guitar Lab account?

The app runs locally. Imported songs and progress stay on your device and can be moved using a backup. After paying, enter your code in the app’s activation menu.
