2538.0. "PC software for guitar player?" by GORE::G_FROEHLIN (Fly like an eagle or crash like a VAX) Sun Jan 06 1991 18:33

    I'm looking for a IBM-PC based software to play/record MIDI, write own
    scores and see it playing on my PC screen like on a keyboard AND ON A 
    GUITAR FINGERBOARD. Any pointers?

Hallo G�nter !

Nice to see you here !!!

I would STRONGLY recommend to buy an ATARI instead of the IBM. It's under 
1000 DM over here. There is a brandnew SW package that does just what you asked
for, but again, it run's on the ATARI. I don't remember the name, but there was
a review in the January issue of "Fachblatt", but I seem to recall that you're
in the US. So if you're interested I can send you a xerox of the article (or
maybe even a DDIF if you're in a hurry).

Just let me know...

	best regards

    Hi G�nther !
    
    I just wrote a note into the GUITAR notesfile that describes the
    package "Advanced Guitar Tabulator", I was referring to. There's also
    hope for you to get ATARI functionalitiy on the IBM PC. I talked to a
    system house that is planning plug-in boards for the PC which contains
    the necessary HW to run ATARI SW, hence the processor (no emulation).
    It rus with various graphics boards and MPU401 or compatible boards.

2538.3Play it by EarGORE::G_FROEHLINFly like an eagle or crash like a VAXTue Jan 22 1991 23:417
    Thanks for the replies! So far I figured out that "Play it by Ear" is
    the only PC music software that shows a guitar fret but is a training
    program. It doesn't let me write my own music but seems to be something
    I want/need. It uses MIDI IN/OUT to have you listen and play certain
    parts. Not bad - I'll go and get it!
