eMedia Guitar For Dummies

First disc was defective. Amazon quickly sent a replacement.

I tried learning the Guitar several time. All with instructors and never felt like I laearned anything . I was shown several cords and a wheel which I still do not understand. But this product teaches everything as a beginner should be show. You learn at your own pace and you start off with very simple cords and proceed on . The best thing I LIKE about it you start plating songs from the star. I only have this teaching guide a few weeks and i am playing better than I ever did paying for instruction . I just enjoy this product so much . I am spreading the word to others of my age group to try it. I am a senior citizen. Young teens and others will be rocking i9n no time at all.

I set out to learn flamingo but after working with Guitar For Dummies it soon became clear I had a ways to go. I have certainly found this helpful in learning chords and some strumming and have enjoyed using this program. Its easy to use and if you have as little knowledge as I do about guitar (other than having spent a great deal at a swap meet on a beautiful instrument the musician selling it said is specifically designed for flamingo) you will get a lot out of this. I am deducting one star because Guitar For Dummies doesnt get into the style and fiery passion of flamingo and I found that disappointing. However, I can see now that a basic foundation is almost essential and its going to take me while before I can master the true art form that is flamingo guitar. I cant help buy feel I was misled a bit at the swap meet because when I bought both this program and the guitar I was assured this is all I would really need. That is in no way the fault of the Guitar For Dummies program and has more to do with my own impatience to fulfill my dream. I do feel that I am making progress.

A nice enough intro to the guitar, with guides on how to string and tune your guitar (has a guitar tuner option, if your PC has a microphone), some 80 lessons on playing simple chords, various strumming styles and chord progressions. An animated fretboard demonstrates the fingering and there are also a number of videos that demonstrate various aspects of the lessons being taught. Theres also a digital metronome and recording option so you can record and playback your newly acquired guitar prowess. There are some 40 or so songs to learn as you go along.

This was a terrible product your better off buying rock smith cause this only taught me how to read tabs and thats it.... I couldve looked that up online....If you want a good tool to learn guitar Rocksmith is the way to go...if you have a game console that is.

I have had this book for a long time and Ive still to read it and try it out.

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.

Ive had my computer for 2 years. i have never had one problem.

This is the same package I purchased five years ago. It will not work with windows 10 as advertised. I will need to return this item.

hours of fun while you learn to play. You can retake lesson at your own speed and move as fast or as slow as you want
