OK I Guess Aug 01, 2008
Software does not work with Vista as described by Techs ( I called eMedia to make sure it would work - they said 'yes', but it did not). Primitive user interface leaves much to be desired. Don't trust eMedia Techies.

This is all you need to learn how to play guitar Nov 05, 2007
If you want to learn how to play guitar forget everything else and buy this. Grab a guitar and get started with lesson 1 and in a few moments you'll actually be playing! This amazing program contains all the tools you'll need to get started; animated fret board, a metronome, a chord dictionary, a tuner (yes, that's right) and a recorder. The interface is very easy to learn and navigate and there are many nifty gadgets built in to make it even easier and more fun to learn. You can click on a chord diagram and hear it being played. You can highlight several measures and hear it repeated over and over. You can click and hold the song and get the midi version where you can slow it down or speed it up. I like to print out the lessons so I can take them with me and leave the computer behind. Printing the lessons also keeps me from jumping ahead - but you can go at your own pace! No pressure to advance until you are ready.

Some of the other reviews mentioned the instructors voice is annoying. Honestly, I don't mind his voice at all and I found it very easy to increase or decrease the volume. If you don't like the singing at all, then switch to MIDI and you'll just get the instrumental without the vocals (although very computery sounding).

I'm on lesson 63 after six weeks of playing and I feel I'm doing quite well. There are 165 lessons in this program - it will keep you busy for a long time and it covers many aspects of guitar playing and many different styles. There is even a chapter on reading standard notation!

This is a very complete and comprehensive program - you won't be sorry buying this. It even comes with a pick, so skip that too.

Great for BEGINNERS! Oct 07, 2007
For anyone who has NEVER picked up a guitar before this product is for you! There are great tutorials with videos that are easy to follow. Before you know it you will be playing some really cool (read: easy) rock songs. Using this software and a little practice you should be able to amaze your friends and family with some neat little dittys. If you consider yourself an intermediate guitar player, I would look elsewhere.

Music made easy Apr 05, 2007
e media has made this simple and easy to understand and use. Depending on playing level it can be too easy. However, as a beginning guitar play I learned and implimented 8 chords in the 1st hour or so. The system worked flawlessly. i would recommend this system to anyone starting to play. If you have a good understanding of your chord then maybe skip this one and go on to the next.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT Feb 15, 2007
I've played in the past but had been quite awhile, this product is excellent. Takes you step by step but quickly progresses. Really like the application, can play along, show's you cords (or hides them - your choice), records, etc.

I plan on buying the intermediate level once I've completed the beginners
