What is a GP3 file?
A .GP3 file is a Guitar Pro v3 Tablature file.
Guitar Pro 3 allows for the editing of guitar and bass tablature files and the creation of scores for stringed instruments, such as the bass and the guitar. The music files created and saved by the Guitar Pro 3 software are saved with the .gp3 file extension.
While the files contain scores used to create music, the files do not have any actual audio data in and of themselves.
