I'd say GP is sufficient enough.
For me it's all about just doing it enough and getting used to tabbing. Some times it's a hit and miss thing. Tab something, see if it sounds right, play it yourself, edit some stuff in GP5 and in the end it will be close to the real thing. Practice makes perfect.
Also of course I'll split things up in small chunks. One bar at a time. Or one note of course, but you know what I mean.
You can also work from starting and ending notes if it's a run. Say you know it goes from B on the A string to F# on the high E. Then you place those two notes where they're supposed to be and that'll give you an idea of what can fit inside and how it naturally fits the best. That may be sixteenth note triplets or 16th notes or whatever. Or it might of course be a combination of notelengths, if it's not just a straight run rythmically speaking.
I guess that's a bit about how I work with GP.
