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 practiceβI've logged 104.7 hours, 2,220 plays, and 184 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.

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 haveβnot 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.
Import your .gp5 files, track your progress, and watch yourself improve.
