Guitar playing and the stuff that comes with it like backing up your audiofiles, writing down your lyrics and music becomes even more enjoyable if you got the right tools for the job.

Ooh, I’m going to check out guitarvoice!
It’s not exactly guitar specific, but I’ve been successfully using EarMaster for ear training. It took only 15 minutes a day for a few months and I now can identify all intervals through one octave. Now I’m working on chords.
I’ve also been checking out Songsterr which has an easy interface to learn songs with tab. It also includes rhythm notation, a stripped down mixer, and the ability to slow tempo.
I also heard about Amazing Slow Downer for tempo slowing with no pitch loss, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
That’s a good list, thanks!
I’ve been using Neck Diagrams (www.neckdiagrams.com) a lot recently to create nice chord charts. Available for Mac and PC, pretty handy if you ask me.
