## Abstract (arXiv)

A curated dataset of Guitar Pro tablature files (.gp5 format), tailored for tasks involving guitar music generation, sequence modeling, and performance-aware learning is provided. The dataset is derived from MIDI notes in MAESTRO and GiantMIDI which have been adapted into rhythm guitar tracks. These tracks are further processed to include a variety of expression settings typical of guitar performance, such as bends, slides, vibrato, and palm muting, to better reflect the nuances of real-world guitar playing.
