Topic: Tux guitar.

Dad dowloaded this really awesome program of the internet yesterday. It's so cool. It plays guitar tabs. You can create your own songs and tabs.
So I've been fiddling about with it in every bit of spare time I get. Great program.

Re: Tux guitar.

Yup, a lot like pro-tab or that windows equivalent.  You must be running Linux or some variant thereof, have been running Ubuntu on my laptop for a few months and also installed tuxguitar.  Seems to work well, although the really helpful "help" files are not so useful.  Experimentation is the trick (and a good memory for what you did last time that worked).

Free is always a good price and a fair reason to play around with Linux.  I have found a few applications though that don't really work as well as represented without a bit of fiddling with the programs, for which a small understanding of writing software is helpful.

Take Care;

Re: Tux guitar.

It does run on Windows as well. But yeah, I do prefer Linux. Having Linux makes it much harder for hackers to hack in.
