"Works better than other tab/music editors I have used."
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Easy to use, and the midi sounds good.
Cons
Needs more keyboard shortcuts, or if they are available, they need to be easier to find.

IT IS GOOD BUT IS NOT WHAT I NEED
Cons
NOTHING TO SAY

"Simple but effective. Works very well..!"
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Easy to use and understand and really works well. Basic interface not that of Guitar Pro but it's Free and an Awesome product. !
Cons
No real Cons for a freebe. Interface is a bit basic and it the program lacks a lot of the fancier features of pro editors -i.e. Guitar Pro., but the program work well and gets the job done.. Did I mention It's FREE..!.
Summary
All in all I'm really surprised and satisfied with this Program. It may not be on par with Guitar Pro (I have Guitar Pro 5 and love it.) as it lack the look, feel and many of the features of a professional editor. Yet, at the same time It's a lot easier to use and undertsand and even provides useful tips that I found answerd my questions before I even asks them. All in all inspite of it's no frills appearence this program in and of it's self is very good and will surely get the job done with ease. Cash strapped, budget minded inspiring musician or hobbist, Pro and Non-Pro alike would be folish to pass this program up without giving it a try. Recommended. A solid four Stars., Satisfaction guaranteed..!

"Smart program, great for any guitar player"
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
So much! This program has a ton of features and it pretty much covers everything you need for tabbing.
Cons
The sheer number of features makes finding the simple stuff hard. Inputting chords can get tedious.
Summary
If you use or make tabs for guitar, you need this product! It takes some getting used to, but in the end its features are fantastic. I recommend this to all of my musician friends.

"Excellent!"
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Interface is basic, but the function is awesome!!!
Cons
Blah UI. Could use some polish.

"Great program for the price."
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Small program that does alot. Plays the tabulature with your midi.
Cons
Well, the midi sound is a bit cheesy, but it's decent enough for free.
Summary
I use it to play back the tabulature to see what the song is supposed to sound like, and it works good for that.

"I wish I could get it work in Windows 7"
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
I really like it. It is not difficult ot learn and for simple licks, it is great.
Cons
Right now I cannot get it to work in Windows 7 so that is a problem
And there is no way to ask a question at the powertab site so I am posting this here.Summary
I really like Power Tab Editor. Well, that is until I moved to Windows 7 this past weekend.
I tried a lot of my software and so far everything except Power Tab Editor seems to work.
When I try to bring Power Tab Editor up, it displays a screen saying "You must use a video resolution of 800x600 (or greater) to run using Power Tab". My resolution was above that so I tried different settings and always the same problem.
If you have not used this software, I recommend it. There are a number of tabs that you can download and it actually plays the song for you. Well unless you are me and you just went to Windows 7 and it does not work. (:
I went to the Powertab site but they only have FAQ and there is nothing there to help.
Thanks for listening -
"The tab editing is the only thing good."
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
It's easy to edit tabs and play them.
Cons
The guitar that plays the notes for you is annoying and sort of sounds "beepy." Some of the tab numbers you can't read easy because there is a line going through the number.
Summary
This is a software to have for when you're browsing tabs and the only tab there is is a power tab. It's nothing compared to Guitar Pro. I would recommend this product but just don't expect awesome out of it. It's only good feature is editing.

"Práctico, veloz, eficiente, compatible."
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Producto que me gusta mucho por su calidad y por ayudarme en mi afición por la guitarra.
Cons
Mi imposibilidad para comprarlo.

"Great for getting music and for transcription"
Version: Power Tab Editor 1.7 build 80
Pros
Pretty easy to use once you get the hang of how it wants you to use it. Can use either the mouse or keyboard to navigate. Customizable for other than 6-string instruments.
Cons
Changing notation symbols is a bit difficult.
Summary
Maybe I'll rate it higher once I get to know it better. For just downloading tabs, it's kinda automatic, but I needed something to help figure out some songs I see people playing but don't know chords, especially jazz chords, well enough to learn techniques or progressions just by watching. With this I can watch a video, slow it down, and key in fingerings.
