About Arobas Music
Arobas Music is a French software developer based in Lille, founded in 1997 by two guitar lovers. For over 25 years, they've built and maintained Guitar Pro, the de facto standard for guitar tablature editing and the .gp file format that millions of guitarists rely on. Guitar Pro handles notation, playback, and practice tools for guitar, bass, and other fretted instruments. The company also runs mySongBook, an official transcription library with professionally scored tabs. With a team of about 14 people, Arobas Music remains an independent developer focused on one thing: giving guitarists the tools to learn, write, and share music.
Guitar Pro 8
Guitar Pro 8 is a tablature editor, score writer, and practice tool rolled into one. You can write tabs in standard notation or tablature, hear them played back with a built-in sound engine, and adjust tempo, loop sections, or mute tracks to practice along. It supports guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and other fretted instruments, plus drums and keys. The software includes tools for chord diagrams, scale libraries, and tuning presets. Guitar Pro files (.gp) are the standard format for sharing tabs online, so you can open thousands of user-created scores or build your own. The latest version adds polyphonic tuner support, improved audio export, and a redesigned interface. It runs on macOS and Windows.
mySongBook
mySongBook is Arobas Music's official score library. It offers professionally transcribed tabs for thousands of songs, all formatted for Guitar Pro. Each score includes accurate notation, multiple instrument tracks, and full playback. You can filter by genre, artist, or difficulty, then download and open files directly in Guitar Pro. The library is subscription-based and updated regularly with new releases and catalog classics. It's a reliable source for accurate tabs when user-generated content doesn't cut it.
