Touch-Based Playing Effects in Guitar Pro 8

Touch-related effects in Guitar Pro affect how notes are attacked or connected, enabling natural transitions and expressive articulations.

Available from the Editing Palette and the Effects menu, they are essential for accurately reproducing string instrument phrasing.

• Legato, Hammer-On Pull-Off, Left-Hand Tapping, Classical Tapping: Smooth connections between notes.
• Slides (Legato, Shift, Glissando, From/To High or Low): Slides between notes.
• Bends (Full, Bend/Release,…): Bending techniques.
• Vibrato (Left Hand, Whammy Bar, Light/Strong): Pitch oscillations.
• Tremolo Picking: Rapid note repetition.
