There are a lot of people who would like to make music, not just listen to it. They would like at least to learn how to play the guitar. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, especially if you haven't done this before. There are programs that can help you do that and one of them is Power Tab Editor. It's a software that can help you get familiar with all the musical terms related to the guitar and bass instruments.

The software is extremely simple to install and quick at it. It only needs a soundcard and a peer of speakers to work. System requirements are as low as you can get. Every version of Microsoft Windows is supported, from XP to Windows 7.

The interface of Power Tab Editor seems at first a little bit crowded, but the user will soon realize that it's not like this. All the options are placed where they should and, besides the classical drop-down menu, the user can complete most of the program's actions using the toolbar buttons. The interface of the software features a stave, where the user can add notes and can modify every aspect of the song.

Power Tab Editor features a lot of functions that are very familiar for a musician, but could be confusing for a first-time user, who has nothing in common with making music or doesn't have any musical knowledge once so ever. Still, all these options are thoroughly explained in the included manual so, if the user takes a little time and reads it, he will soon realize that everything is piece of cake.

The software is not ideal for beginners who are trying to learn the secrets of making music, but it's rather useful to musicians who can no test a song, see how it sounds and, if applicable, adjust parts of it to make it sound just right. The project can also be saved, for reusing it later.

Pros

It allows musicians to improve their skills. It also allows beginners to learn the key basics about making music.

Cons

The interface looks a little bit crowded and finding the right option could take some time. The stave can be saved as an ASCII or HTML file or it can be exported as MIDI, for playing back. Power Tab Editor is a great program for helping everyone learn the basics of creating music.
