eMedia Guitar For Dummies

very cool

This program is surprisingly fun. Its easy to use and a great way to start learning guitar without paying loads for lessons.

GREAT!

Being a beginner at playing the guitar and not able to afford personal guitar lessons, I looked to find whatever alternative help was available. I have found this product very helpful in the many phases of guitar playing.

I had never touched a guitar in my life but after I finished this program in less then a week I felt comfortable with a guitar in my hands and confident that I could play. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because it really needed to have some kind of book, like a supplementary guide, so I could have the chords and songs on a hard copy and not just having to print them off the computer. Other than that, its a fantastic choice for newbs like me!

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.

I bought this for a friend who has a mac with no place to insert a dvd. Is there a version of this that can be downloaded?

Ça ne fonctionne pas il ny a rien à comprendre. Ce DVD nous permet seulement dacheter dautres DVD pour des cours . Je suis très déçu......

so far so good I have learned the problem is not the product, but me the guitar player, I suck..

I bought this for my husband, who is learning to play the guitar; and, managed to lose the CD provided with the original Guitar for Dummies book. He didnt even want to open the package because then you cant send it back and because he is not very computer savvy. Long story short: the first lesson convinced him this is the way to learn. Chords are clearly presented, played so finger position is displayed and then chords are used in a song. Computer savvy is obviously not a necessary ingredient! Presents the basics in an easy, interesting and musical way. Now I have to wait (interminably) to use the computer.
