PLAY THOUSANDS OF TABS DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET
You've found a cool tab from your favorite band and now you'd like to learn it. That's where Go PlayAlong comes into play. You'll be able to open the vast majority of tabs downloaded from sites like ultimate-guitar.com. No problem if you downloaded a Guitar Pro or Power Tab file, Go PlayAlong will open it and its easy-to-use interface will help you to concentrate on practicing.
ACCOMPANY YOUR MUSIC WITH THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS AND ENJOY PRACTICING
There's a basic problem with today's tab players: most of them come with really annoying MIDI sounds. Some of them claim to give you realistic software instruments but the result is still miles away from the real sound of your favorite band.
Synchronize to mp3 music
You obviously ask: why not use the original recordings and enjoy the real vocals and instruments to accompany you while you're practicing? Besides software synthesizer playback, Go PlayAlong gives you the option to load the original mp3 version of a song and use it as backing track. In addition to that a handy tool will let you precisely synchronize the playback tempo of your tab and mp3 for the perfect experience. Synchronization takes only a few minutes and you have to do it only once.
SYNCHRONIZE TAB AND MP3 WITH A FEW CLICKS
Synchronization is a semi-automatic process: Go PlayAlong recognizes beats automatically with some amount of user interaction.
ORGANIZE YOUR TABS AUTOMATICALLY
When loading a tab into Go PlayAlong for the first time its artist and title information is extracted automatically and stored in your music library. Later on you'll find your tabs easily with just a few clicks, no matter where they are on your hard drive. In the music library your tabs are organized in alphabetical order. You can easily sort them either by artist name or song title.

RENDER HIGH QUALITY SHEET MUSIC
Do you like the typography of authentic sheet music books? Then you'll love the visual experience of tabs brought to you by Go PlayAlong. One of the most important things that affects your practice is the visual quality of your tabs. We focused a lot on our rendering engine and the result is a clear and easy-to-follow notation with a wide range of techniques supported.
Advanced score position highlight modes
There are four different score position highlight modes that will serve your needs during practicing. Besides highlighting measures, chords or separate notes being played, you'll get a smart new option: to highlight beats. The beat highlighting mode plays the role of a visual metronome. The score position will move forward steadily on each metronome click helping you to keep the right rhythm.
