Your Classical Guitar Input Here

Playback software?

Hi. Many years ago, I took a year of classical guitar lessons. The lesson books I purchased at the time started with some simple little pieces that are actually duets - with the thought being that the beginner play the simple part and the instructor play the harder, accompanying piece.

Well, I would like to start up again and was wondering if there was any software out there (free is always preferable) that I could input the instructor's piece and play it back to accompany my beginner piece as I practice?

Thank you for you time and any advice you could offer.

Respectfully,

Hi João,

I "googled" this particular free notation/playback (as a midi file) software...

It looks o.k. but I must say I've NEVER used it myself so I can't personally recommend it.

If you want one I could personally recommend then I'd have to say the one I use for my own website scores, namely: Finale...



As you can see it's a bit costly but very user friendly and dependable.

I hope this has been of help.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
