Solving Problems : How to open a gp5 file in Guitar Pro 6 (Alternative Ways)

“why can’t i open a gp5 file in  Guitar Pro 6 ?”

“Error Loading “singername_songname.gp5” ! “

Are you the one who has the same issue ? 

Do you get this kinda message when you try to open a .gp5 format file or Guitar Pro 5 file ?

Do you still want to learn your favorite rock song tablature that you can’t figure out by yourself ?

It’s a double trouble when you died to shred or play heavy metal like Paul Gilbert or Yngwie Malmsteen but you can’t reach any of their nails if you can’t figure out any notes of their song. Well in fact, some get it, some don’t, i’d been in the hell and when i figured out that it wouldn’t be solved (because it had been Guitar Pro 6 unsolved technical problems and no solution in any web), i burnt up.But, after i went through, i got the light and i’d been out of the hell.

Here i want to share you some solutions :

1.     Let the hell and search the song by yourself manually
2.  View the song in Tab Pro if  there’s the file with Tab Pro format in Ultimate Guitar
3.   By a software

Let’s check the suggestion and the choice on your hand

1. Let the hell and search the song by yourself manually

Let the unopened guitar pro 5 file and tab the song by your instinct manually, most of then musician  covered the song by their instinct.

Instruction :

·         Listen the song multiple times (if it’s needed, slow it up)

·         Watch the musician play the song on Youtube (I reccomend live and instructional video).

Plus        :

·         Improve your music instinct ( you’ll be smarter musician )

·         Get special satisfaction and pride.

Minus   :  

·         Wasting time and energy

·         Some song don’t have the video on Youtube

·         Some song don’t have good resolution video (unclear) mostly eighties below music video (mostly VHS format )

·         The music video doesn’t display full playing of the guitar

(In the case of video clip and live performance video)

2.          View the song in Tab Pro

Instruction :

·         Search the song in Ultimate Guitar

·         Click the song with Tab Pro format.

·         See and type note by note into your new .gpx file (you must create guitar pro 6 plain file first )

Plus                :

·         Still the way better and faster than the first solution.

Minus             :

·         You must have an account and submitted your own work (submit your DIY tab) in Ultimate Guitar to have an access in Tab Pro

·         Demo trial account (incomplete version)

·         Flash and Java installation are required. Then, you must restart the browser .

·         Wasting time and energy

·         Some songs have no Tab Pro format file.  ( For example : Led Zeppelin – Rock n Roll )

3.        With a software

Instruction :

·         Download the software TuxGuitar (able to open .gp2 through .gp5 format file and Power Tab)

·         Install it                       

·         Open your unopened .gp5 file with it.

·         Save the file as.gp4 or below format (i reccomend the latest format .gp4)

Plus :

·         TuxGuitar is a free (unregistered) software. (forget about crack’em with keygen or buy it via online, heck no ! )

·         Save your renewal .gp5 file with their own setting completely. (you don’t need to set up the song)

·         No bugs and error

Minus:

·         You can’t change the .gp5  files in a single click. (if you have more than one)

I can conclude that we can be a virtuoso in many ways, it isn’t the end of the world if you can’t open .gp5 file.  The hard work for the hard rock !!
