Guitar Pro is a commercial cross-platform music notation and tablature editor developed by Arobas Music. It provides an integrated environment for creating, editing, and playing back scores for guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments, combining standard notation and guitar tablature in a synchronized view.

The program supports multi-track scores, tempo, key, and time signature, and includes a playback engine with a range of instrument sounds. It supports playing techniques such as bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs, vibrato, and palm muting, and allows the addition of lyrics, chord diagrams, and articulations. Users can print scores or export them, and use the software for transcribing songs, studying arrangements, or composing original pieces. File support includes native GP formats (.gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx) and import of MIDI and Power Tab files; exports typically include MIDI, PDF, and audio formats.

Guitar Pro runs on Windows and macOS, with mobile apps available for iOS and Android. It also provides Guitar Pro Cloud for online storage and synchronization of scores across devices. The software is widely used by students, educators, and professional musicians for learning, notation practice, and collaborative work, serving as both a notation editor and a playback tool in a single application.
