What is a .MGT file?

The .MGT file extension refers to a Musicnotes Guitar Guru Song File. This type of file is specifically designed for use with the Guitar Guru software, which was developed to help individuals learn how to play the guitar. The content of an .MGT file includes guitar tablature, audio data of the song, and information about the guitar fingerboard. These elements combine to provide a detailed simulation of a guitar performance, making it easier for users to follow and learn.

The .MGT files are particularly useful because they not only display the guitar tablature but also play the song. This dual functionality allows users to hear the music while seeing the corresponding tablature and finger placements on the guitar. This file type is also commonly used to store songs downloaded from Musicnotes.com, a popular site for purchasing sheet music.

To open an .MGT file, you would typically use the Musicnotes Guitar Guru software. Within this program, there are several playback modes available: 1. **Guitar Player Mode**: This mode shows a simulation of the guitar fingerboard during playback. It visually represents where and when to place fingers on the guitar, which is particularly helpful for beginners.

2. **CD Player Mode**: This mode offers more customizable playback options. Users can adjust the tempo of the song, set specific start and stop points, and choose whether the song should loop. These features are useful for practicing specific parts of a song repeatedly.

It is important to note that Musicnotes has discontinued the Guitar Guru software. Therefore, while existing .MGT files can still be opened if you already have the program installed, obtaining the software as a new user might be challenging. Users looking for similar functionality may need to seek alternative guitar learning software that supports .MGT files or offers similar features.
