Powertab. Altough GP has more functionalities, PT is better at what is does. Its easier to tab, more tabs are available, and above all, its free!

Guitar Pro. It has drums and keyboards. I don't know if Powertab has keyboards or not. You can open powertab files in notepad to see the tab, but you can't do the same with guitar pro.

i like GP cause you can tab your songs on the there and save it and play it back when you like. also has a metronome and tuner on it. alot of the tabs are fucked up i noticed. so you gotta sort out through the good tab versions and such. for free its a sweet program i like it

all you guys that say GP sucks cuz you gotta pay money for it....
just rip it off the net for free. get it under applications on Suprnova.org
you gotta sign up to use that site tho. you can even rip it on kazza
but i dont think kazza has the latest version but most the songs will still work just not the newer tabs

You don't have to pay money for it. It still works after the trial ends, it just has an annoying reminder window that comes up when you press Play.

But when you try to save a tab there's a little window that pops up that says ' you are limited to 24 bars '

I like GP's functionality and options, but I feel PT is more simple and easier to use and accomplish making tabs.

it is a bitch at first to put your tabs on it. the timing of beats was kinda frustrating to get at 1st just takes time to get used to it

I prefer the fact that Power-Tab's layout are identical to pro layouts. It means that I can read the notation faster on the fly. I also like the fact that the scores that it prints are professional grade. I've tabbed all our bands songs, with section amrks and tempo markers, and all the guys in my band have PT, including the drummer and singer. They all print out the sheet music, and mark up the scores with their part notes and lyrics.
For drum functionality, Guitar pro is the only way to learn drum parts, unfortunately. My drummer follows the guitar pretty closely, and can read sheet music like a champion, so he can overmark my paper guitar scores with snare and kick hits, then improvise the hat and cymbal work pretty easily.
I'd rather program drums in Cubase anyways than GP. Sounds a helluva lot better.

The next version of PT will include drums. If it ever gets released.

I like Gp more, but where can i found the actualizated version, I need for some tabs.GPs I,ve found and can´t open.
To tab your own tabs is better power tab, but to play i think is better GP. (Non paid)

Powertab. It's the only one i've used, so it's the one i vote for. It's simple and easy to use.
