Songs in the Key of Tux: KGuitar
It's been quite a while since my last "Songs in The Key of Tux" article, and, to be honest, I had given up on using Linux-based programs for my tablature needs.
The main problem is that, as a metal guitarist, I need to be able to represent palm muting in my tablature — I've tried in the past to give tablature to people that lacked palm muting information, and ended up having to show them how to play the riffs, which defeats the purpose of tablature.
Fortunately, I finally got around to trying out KGuitar, which does support palm muting.
KGuitar
As well as palm muting, KGuitar has a number of great features. It's able to import Guitar Pro files, up to version 4; it has a visual fretboard, so you can see how a chord would look on the guitar neck; a chord analyser (like Guitar Pro's) that gives you a choice of fingerings based on a chord name, or provides you with chord names for a chord you input; and, a feature that seems to be unique to KGuitar: the ability to tap the rhythm of a bar using the mouse or keyboard.
