I am a guitar beginner, I only want to be able to practice picking notes, arpeggios, scales, etc. I have been looking for software that would slow down videos or streaming so I can catch up but, even the slowest playback speed is too fast for my noob practice. The only option for me seems to be to get the tablature, create a score from the tabs with TuxGuitar and set the tempo really low. For my needs, it works great ! Thanks !
The chord (inversions) editor/namer with is a must have for any guitarist, I would love it on Android :-) Thanks !
Create a Tux Bass Guitar(for bass only), then you will have a nice program.
TablEdit is a program for creating, editing, printing and listening to tablature and sheet music (standard notation) for guitar and other fretted, stringed instruments, including mandolin, ukulele, bass and banjo (even taking into consideration the special aspect of the fifth string).
Power Tab Editor is a tablature-authoring tool for Windows. It allows for the creation of tablature scores that can be printed out and played back via MIDI.

Why Free Guitar Tabs Are Important. Guitarists can learn to read music notation, chord lyrics charts, or guitar tablature. Music notation is a great system, but it isn’t the most modern, or best system for learning modern pop, rock, blues, country and heavy metal guitar songs.
Power Tab Editor may easily become the veteran fretter's best friend. This feature-packed program lets you plot music onto digital tablature for exporting, burning, or playing MIDI files. The features are staggering--11 toolbars, 47 tips, and a max of seven guitars or basses per song are just the beginning. Deluxe tabbing capabilities let you adjust octaves and phrasing, and place an onslaught of markings, such as slides, bends, and vibratos. You can also create notes, store lyrics, and enter your favorite Italian music term if you're in the mood for something vivace. Well-stocked chord and tuning dictionaries help move you along.
Unfortunately, the software's features sometimes outpace its functionality. Though attractive, the interface isn't very intuitive and contains character errors and other mistakes that could frustrate the most intrepid user. One crucial broken Quick Start link for creating new tablature spoils an otherwise robust and detailed Help menu.
However, if you're feeling scrappy enough to push past the lesser points, the power payoff for using Power Tab Editor--digital tunes you tab yourself--may sound like rockin' music to your ears.
