  @killereye: Contact me through the “Private Lessons” link in the site header.
  @Allen: If you mean to view the Guitar Pro file I link to, the two best programs are Guitar Pro and TuxGuitar. I use Guitar Pro (link above) and it is a pay program with a free trial. TuxGuitar is free, open-source software for viewing Guitar Pro files.

  @Martin – Try Songsterr.com or another free choice for playing Guitar Pro files is “TuxGuitar”. Most of the same features as GuitarPro and can play GP files.

  The tuning is standard.

  hello sir , i have been visiting your web site for many hours.. Thank you so much to you for allow me to learn so much in such a short period of time. Your web site is a truly informative and you have a big heart of sharing so much lessons. i like to have your favor on how to get a copy of the tab with music notes if possible on this canon rock song. I study about this guitar pro 5. what is this? what does it do? Assuming i own this soft ware, open a song, using this soft ware, which will read this song and write the tab on my p c screen? than i print it ? one more question, you have so much lesson on your web, is there any lesson left for your private lessons ? sincerely and thank you for many lessons. kelvin.

  @Kelvin Gaw – Thank you very much for your kind comments about my site. The few dozen lessons on the site now are just a little of what I hope to have on here soon with MUCH more available via Private Lessons or eLessons.

  I think you understand Guitar Pro. Essentially a tab player with rhythm. Check out Songsterr.com via the link in this lesson or on my homepage. Another good resource.

  @~Daniel~ – I put together a demonstration of how I would use Apple’s Quicktime player to do what you asked in a new post here: http://guitarteacher.com/2010/02/08/slowing-down-guitar-videos-using-quicktime/

  BTW, I updated this post with a link to the video file so anyone can try this out. Look for it above for download.

  Two other programs that I use to slow down audio files are Transcribe! (http://www.seventhstring.com/) and Amazing Slow Downer (http://www.ronimusic.com/).
