Guitar player? Then you’ll appreciate this cool and helpful guitar tablature app. For you musically educated folks, GuitarTab lets you create music without an instrument using tablature and notation, edit your song in a graphical dislay, and play it back via QuickTime.

For you guitar gods in thing, GuitarTab features a built-in MP3 player that allows you to slow down a song so you can learn it. Requires a Power Mac, running Mac OS X (10.1 recommended), and QuickTime 4 or later.
Let your Mac help you tune your guitar or any other instrument. Forget your old tuner with the dead batteries, this one will do just as well.

For fun, you can even pitch tune your own voice and find out how out of tune you really are. 68k and PPC compatible running Mac OS 6.0.5 or later.
