Recording The Guitar to a Computer

***You will need a 13 pin guitar to midi interface or a 13 pin guitar like a Godin to input notes and/or tab into Sibelius or G7.***

Otherwise, you can input information by mouse, computer keyboard or a midi keyboard(guitar players do not want to play keyboards!)

Sibelius Music Notation Software (Macintosh and Windows) @ Zzounds.com

If you want to notation music on the computer, print it out, email it( great for teachers and lessons!), burn a cd and more. Sibelius is it.
G7 is geared for the guitar player who just wants some basic sheet music. Sibelius can do full scores, transposing instruments, band arrangement, classical scores and arrangements and a whole lot more.
All the Sibelius softwares are easy to use . You do not need to learn a "tool" to do something like some other softwares. I know a few professional guitarists that have made the switch to Sibelius from other softwares.

If you have Sibelius 4, check for an update.
