TuxGuitar is a free and open-source multitrack guitar tablature editor and player written in Java. It can open and edit GuitarPro, PowerTab, and TablEdit files. The InstaShred TuxGuitar plugins allows for the notes and chords of songs opened in TuxGuitar to be displayed on an InstaShred LED-enabled guitar in real-time!

The InstaShred TuxGuitar plugins require your computer to have a BLE/Bluetooth module, TuxGuitar installed (Java 9 minimum requirement), and an InstaShred guitar.
