What can you do with Guitar Pro 6 Fretlight Ready?


gp6fr

Guitar Pro 6 is software designed to create, edit and play tablature for guitar, bass, and other fretted instruments. It has a ton of features such as loop, play, slow down tempo, etc. The Fretlight Ready™ version now lets you see those fingering positions light-up right on the Fretlight fingerboard. Learning a riff or song is now a snap - it’s really the best of both worlds. Best of all you can download thousands of user-created songs from many tablature websites and watch them all light-up your Fretlight guitar. Oh – you can even light the bass part of your Fretlight guitar.

Fretlight Video Player for the Mac (BETA version)
It’s here! Now Mac owners can play videos on their Mac while lighting up the Fretlight. This includes the NEW Hal Leonard educational videos (they work on both PC and Mac).

Whatever the teacher plays in the video instantly lights up on your Fretlight guitar. Whether it’s a chord progression, a blazing lead, a pull off, a hammer on, a bend, etc., the Fretlight Video Player software lights up your Fretlight in real-time along with the video. No more wondering what your teacher played or how he played it. With a Fretlight guitar and the Fretlight Studio, becoming a better guitar player just became a whole lot easier and dare we say—as fast as the speed of light.

NOTE: (The Fretlight Video Player for the Mac, M-Player for the Mac, Improviser for the Mac and Lesson Player for the Mac will be consolidated into the Fretlight Studio for the Mac by late Spring, 2012. This Beta version is missing some advanced features that will be available upon full release.)

I was a bit skeptical when I was considering purchasing a standard electric, but I am blown away. I am now a guitar addict. Everyday I play guitar when I come home just to unwind. Nothing lifts your spirits like beautiful music flowing through your fingertips onto an illuminated fretboard. Thank you to Optek Music Systems for making this possible.

Fretlight guitars and software are a big step forward in learning guitar skills. If this was available to me when I was younger, I believe I would be considerably better on the guitar than I am now. I particularly like the improv tool, as that gives me the ability to focus on feel, tempo, and style without having to focus on finger placement.

The Fretlight Guitar makes the best use of the time that one spends learning. I have used this Guitar to not only teach myself songs to play, but to also understand the music theory that the songs are built around. Thanks, For helping us help ourselves with the Fretlight Guitar System!!
