Guitar and Bass

Guitar and Bass is a feature-packed software program which allows you to work with diverse musical instruments, such as guitar, bass, banjo and mandolin. It can be used by any aspiring musician, for example.

The interface of the application is professional-looking. You can get started by selecting your preferred instrument and tuning (e.g. Mandolin standard, 6-string Guitar Step Down D). Plus, you can add tablatures and view instructions on using the fretboard.

You can select chords, toggle the viewing mode between fingers and notes, as well as play an instrument after making its adjustments. It is also possible to analyze the scales, keys and intervals.

Other tools of Guitar and Bass let you perform several exercises, use a tuner, metronome, key and cord finder, virtually "jam with the band", edit tablatures and set up the audio input.

Plenty of configuration settings are available through the Setup screen. For instance, you can enable left-handed fretboard view, change tuning properties, customize sounds, as well as import a folder with tablatures.

The feature-rich application is high-demanding when it comes to the CPU and system memory, has a good response time, and contains user documentation. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests and the program did not hang or crash. To sum it up, Guitar and Bass should please all users who want to play with musical instruments in a virtual, user-friendly environment.
