Ins and Outs
GuitarPort has you covered whether you want to hook up to your computer speakers, stereo or other audio equipment. Plug in headphones and jam away without alerting the authorities. It`s all 24-bit audio quality, so you`re right there with the pros. And connecting GuitarPort to your computer is a snap thanks to its USB jack.

Tools
GuitarPort includes a built-in chromatic tuner, looping, intelligent hum reducer, and half speed playback for slowing down tracks without changing pitch. To really nail it, loop any section AND play it back at half speed!

Start Jamming
To put your great guitar tone to use, GuitarPort lets you jam along with MP3 or WAV files, or any audio CDs in your personal collection. You can scan through the audio, jump to any point, loop any section, and even slow to half speed without changing pitch for careful study of your favorite lick, but that`s just the beginning.

The optional GuitarPort Online service brings you hundreds of killer tracks recorded in the world`s top studios, and not just with anonymous studio musicians, either. Imagine playing Hendrix tunes with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. Or Stevie Ray Vaughan tunes along with Double Trouble. From guitar classics complete with tablature and tones to original compositions created expressly for GuitarPort by some of the world`s great musicians, a membership in GuitarPort Online makes sure that you always have somebody to play with.
