The NSA Song Player is designed to help you learn and create songs for the guitar. You can import tablature and hear it as it is played to the Metronome speed you choose, or create your own songs and progressions. Now with alternate tuning, staff  and a capo, you can enter just about any song, see and hear it played, and find scales and arpeggios to play over it.

You can learn from the Song Player in several different ways. It can be an invaluable reference tool, with over 1200 chords and thousands of scales in standard tuning alone. As notes are displayed, you can choose several options for additional information, such as note names or relative positions. So as you play songs you will become more familiar with the fretboard and how songs are built.

The Song Player comes with a complete Guided Tour to get you started quickly.  The tour walks you through all the steps of working with chords, scales, songs and tablature. It is completely interactive, so you can do everything as it is explained to you.

To install the program, simply run (or click) the s_player.exe file and follow the installation instructions.

There is a guided tour included in the program to get you up and running quickly. The program and all 
related files require 6.7 Megabytes of hard disk space, screen resolution of 800x600, and sound capability for the sound files to work. ActiveX and DirectX 3.0 or better are also required. This program requires Windows 9x, NT, or Win2000.
