Yes, this is still one of the weak points in guitone until now, I meant
to implement some kind of tutorial mode / documentation for guitone for
quite some time, but other features have always been on top of the list
instead. Of course if somebody comes up with a nice HTML document with
screenshots on his own, I'm very likely pleased to quickly embed that in
guitone...
