What is the best software to purchase to learn guitar?
Well recently i have been looking up on the internet for guitar softwares so i can learn on my own time. I need one that can help me play rock/metal. Another reason i want a software for learning because in the summer i will always busy and have no time for lessons with an instructor. So any good softwares out there?

Oh man! I learned how to play guitar on my own, without anything but a cheap “learn to play” my mom bought at a music store. Once you learn the basics, its all down hill from there. But it will take a lot of practice. I sound like a total goofball but it was just that easy for me! 🙂

The Power Tab Editor is one package that I’d recommend to anyone. Especially as it’s free!
Get it from here http://www.power-tab.net/guitar.php
This in combination with the thousands of downloads from one of the tab archive sites for example http://www.powertabs.net/ and you’ll be playing along to your favorite songs in no time!

Having tried a lot of these packages, I will have to say that Guitar Superstars is probably the best out there for rock/metal http://learnelectricguitarnow.net/guitar-superstars
Kudos to you for not going with that all to familiar train of thought “how can I teach myself guitar for free in no time and be super awesome”. Good luck which ever avenue you take!

Private guitar lessons are really expensive, you could purchase a book or software program for probably the equivalent of just 1 or 2 lessons.
Two programs I strongly strongly suggest, and have personally used:

http://www.capsulecorp.org/guitar2
Alternatively you could check here for something:
