Your English is SO much better than my French.

You could try powertab, but you should also be able to see tab and hear in GuitarPro 5.

Yes. Guitar Pro uses midis. The sound you get will depend on the sound font/patch files you have available on your system.

In this case, can i install something who play music better ? i mean, when i play sound, it look like electronic piano (because of midi file). Can we install patch to hear real guitar sound (accoustic like..) ?

Thanks !

Finale Notepad isn't bad too, and it's free.
It's also the only choice if you have a mac like me... :-)

Yes. Various manufacturers make real sounding midi font files/patches. Since I don't use Windows or Mac I probably can't help with the details. However some midi files (if i"m not mistaken) are even live samples of real instruments and they sound pretty decent. I believe audio software such as Garage Band come with a decent set of fonts.

And also..lots of tutorials are created out of powertab files which are actually available standalone.

If you don't get what i am saying ...visit the lessons at http://www.ibreathemusic.com .

Btw ..its my long time desire to learn french. (and dish out some -'tour de forces' :D )

Didn't I see or hear that GP 5 is real music as opposed to midi? Or atleast better.

" Guitar Pro RSE is an audio engine that allows the instant playback of all your scores with ultra realistic sound samples taken from high quality guitars. "

Does this mean it comes with good midi fonts? I usually don't buy it when they make a new name for their new technology.
More often it's existing technology that they decided to call something else :), like podcasting :P or gtalk.

I found that :

the new features of Guitar Pro 5: * New RSE [Realistic Sound Engine] with
real instrument sounds

The sound is more realistic ... than a midi file (like electronic piano).

But, i have the version 4... :?

Yeah. It looks like Guitar Pro 5 adds new more realistic samples including dead, muted, bent and vibrato effects on each individual string/note.
