I know Guitar pro doesn't support 64 bit, but i did get it to work with this command
jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i GuitarPro6-rev9063.deb
[sudo] password for jeggy:
Selecting previously unselected package guitarpro6:i386.
(Reading database ... 285729 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking guitarpro6:i386 (from GuitarPro6-rev9063.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of guitarpro6:i386:
guitarpro6:i386 depends on gksu.
dpkg: error processing guitarpro6:i386 (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
guitarpro6:i386
And even after i get that error the program perfectly works fine and updating and adding PPA's to the system works great, but when I'm trying to install some other software i get this error:
jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ sudo apt-get install elinks

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
elinks : Depends: libfsplib0 (>= 0.9) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: liblua50 (>= 5.0.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: liblualib50 (>= 5.0.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libtre5 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: elinks-data (= 0.12~pre5-7ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
guitarpro6:i386 : Depends: gksu:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And whenever i write "apt-get -f install" i get this
jeggy@jeggy-XPS:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
dconf-gsettings-backend:i386 python-levenshtein python-indicate libav-tools libstartup-notification0:i386
libxmuu1:i386 libavfilter-extra-2 libbabl-0.0-0 libgegl-0.0-0 libgconf2-4:i386 python-vobject libgtk-3-0:i386
libpam-cap:i386 python-utidylib libdconf0:i386 python-iniparse python-xmpp libpam-gnome-keyring:i386
libxcb-util0:i386 python-farstream
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
guitarpro6:i386
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
