eMedia Guitar For Dummies

I purchased this pack because of a few songs that I would like to learn, and reading on it said there were over 250 songs to learn, but the songs they have are more like twinkle twinkle little star. type stuff, there are a few songs that make the grade. Like Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles. and a few other blues tunes. but you can find these songs anywhere.

Found this a great way to pick up and start playing from the very start. Next stop is the big time..

The seller was great, the software I did not like the soft ware is not what I was looking for.

As stated, if you are a beginner who doesnt even know how to string a guitar, have trust that youll learn here. From simple folk songs, like Clementine to Knockin on heavens door (by both Bob Dylan and Guns and Roses) youll learn by playing. It comes with a metronome to help you learn the beat, a tuner (and by comes with I mean, it uses your microphone on your computer, so youre best to actually buy a real tuner) and a full chord chart.

This was a gift I purchased for a relative of mine who is just getting into music or more preferably learning how to play guitar. I brought it after it was referenced to me by one of my studio clients who had recommended it to his students in the past. I cant say much about it because I havent used it first hand but I did run through the program that was lent to me and it is very very informative. Even though I dont play guitar I do play several instruments and understand what good music theory is. This is a great stepping stone for someone just starting out.

I ordered this because of an Amazon Deal of the Day. First disk arrived promptly but wouldnt work in either of two computers. I sent for a replacement and just got it today. Same story, second verse...it doesnt work either. I suspect there was a bad lot of CDs for some reason. I wouldnt buy this until Amazon can provide some reasonable assurance that theyve got disks that work.

Grandson received this on his 11th birthday and is doing well with his new guitar. This book has been a great help.

Easy to use

This was a mess. The videos jumped and skipped and the whole thing looked as if it had been made 15 years ago. It was not particularly user friendly and the song selection weak. It actually asked for an older version of the video plug in than the one that I had on my PC. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone. It is just rubbish I dont know who would be inspired by it.

I am still learning, as Ive only been through the first two chapters, but are already starting to pick it up quickly. I really like the built in tuner, metronome and instructions on how to string a guitar for when one of your strings inevitably will break.
