Eg, I quite liked the Guitar solo in this little song of mine at two minutes in at 2.0, done without any great deal of editing.


Well, I listened to the solo part several times, and surprisingly, it sounds fit.

However, there are obvious reasons. First, it's fairly high bpm song, meaning bars are short, the solo can fit easily with just a few notes. Second, it is a happy and simple song, the solo part have only three major chords: I, IV, and V, that's why there are not many sour notes in the generated solo.

But if you listen carefully, the solo has some obvious timing issues, it doesn't end in time before the next bar, and the next part starts almost in the middle of the new bar.

For slightly more complex and emotional songs, say, you have minor chords in your solo part, such as vi, ii or iii, or if chords change every half bar, things will get ugly and unrepairable.

Compare to BiaB, Guitar Pro is a very cumbersome and time consuming software to work with.

But if you want radio ready guitar solos, Guitar Pro is the only option.

Guess that's life, no pain, no gain.
