Hi, I'm Kyle. After 12 years of collecting guitar tabs, I got tired of the 20-step process to mod songs into other software. So I built SongVisualizer.
Now it's my primary way to practice—I've logged 100.4 hours, 2,090 plays, and 175 sessions over the past 2+ years.
Every stat you see below? That's my real practice data, updated live from my database. No fake demos. No marketing fluff. Just proof that this actually works.
A guitar learning game that imports your Guitar Pro (.gp5) files and lets you play along with real-time note detection. Track your progress, master difficult sections, and unlock venues around the world in Career Mode.
Tracking precision across specialized guitar techniques
343 unique shapes tracked across E Standard, E Flat, Drop C
Writing & refining original compositions
Real improvement tracked across 100.4 hours of practice
This isn't cherry-picked data—it's every play tracked automatically.
Perfect, Early, and Late are all counted as hits — you played the right note within the timing window. Miss means no correct note was detected.

No. You only need .gp5 files (the tab files), not the Guitar Pro application. SongVisualizer reads these files directly.
Many guitar tab websites offer .gp5 downloads. You can also create your own in Guitar Pro or similar software, or find them in online guitar communities.
Any 1/4" to USB cable or audio interface works. SongVisualizer uses C++ audio processing for responsive note detection. We recommend a 60Hz display for optimal visual performance.
SongVisualizer works with any .gp5 file you have—not a fixed song library. Plus, every note you play is tracked, so you can see real improvement over time with detailed statistics.
SongVisualizer is available on Steam for Windows and macOS. Linux support may be added in the future based on demand.
No. SongVisualizer is a one-time purchase. You own it forever, and you can import unlimited songs from your own .gp5 collection.
