Fade out
This consists in turning the sound progressively off with the guitar’s volume
knob
Volume swell
This is a fade in leading directly into a fade out.
Grace-note before the beat
A Grace note is an ornamentation that consists in a very short note played
before another one. In Guitar Pro, you can add a grace note for each string.
However, it is not possible to set several grace notes on the same string. A grace
note does not count for the bar duration and for the rhythm display.
Grace-note on the beat
Same as a grace-note before the beat, except here it starts right on the beat
thus slightly delaying the following beat.
Hammer-On/Pull-Off
The hammer-on (HO) / pull-off (PO) is a transition between two notes played on
the same string. The first note is played normally while the second one is not
played by the right hand (for a right- handed person).
For a hammer-on, the second note is higher than the first one, and it is played by
tapping the tip of your finger on the string, while keeping the finger
corresponding to the first note on the fretboard.
In the case of a pull-off, the second note is lower than the first and is played by
taking the finger off the first note.
Guitar Pro determines automatically which effect is being used, based on the
notes’ values. You can use the Stylesheet to customize the way the H/P will
appear or not on the score.
It is common enough for a series of hammer-ons and pull-offs to be linked
together over two notes to play them legato:
