I've been looking to get guitar pro 6 for awhile , but I am broke. I see several places offering cracked versions of it. Is it risky ?
They may be offering a FREE version but they may also TRY TO HURT YOUR COMPUTER!! Its best to stay clear of that stuff!
there is another option. use an open source replacement like tuxguitar http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/download.html not as good as GP but good enough, yes. you can also download-install the high quality custom java soundbank. that ain't a close shot to GP sound quality but its free, lightweight, compatibl with all gp* files i found so far and 100 % safe, malware and virus free. it is worth giving it a try. below a screenshot.
