eMedia Guitar For Dummies

So far, Im impressed by the quality of this software. The only qualification to this is that it is like traditional musical instruction - that is, it starts with the most granular building blocks and works its way upward. For many students, especially younger ones, this might be a bit too slow. Theres always a desire to try and jump right into more advanced techniques. The only other thing to mention is that to really use stuff like the built-in tuner, you need some method to get the input into your PC. I took the simple route of just plugging the guitar into the amp, then running the headphone jack on the amp to the line-in on the PC. Honestly, Im not quite sure what I would have done if I were using an acoustic guitar. The times I just tried to use the PCs built-in microphone, it picked up far too much environmental noise to be of any use. Still, I like this software a lot and unhesitantly recommend it for a complete guitar beginner like me.

Very, Very, Very GOOD!! Honestly, I learned more from this DVD than I have from a box full of DYI magazines, DVDs, running down several ghosts. I was 1/2 way through and sat back and had a think about what I just went thrght and was it worth the trouble?

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?

This is pretty good for beginners. Some have complained it was too beginner, others say its too complicated. works for me though. You dont need to know much to earn a little song pretty quickly

Despite many attempts to learn how to play guitar I finally give up. My guitar sits in the corner and mocks me. I really tried, its been on my bucket list for years and Ive made peace with the fact that Ill never be Mark Knopfler or Tiny Tim for that matter. This program was fine but its me not the program.

This is a really simple program to tell you the absolute basics of guitar. It goes through holding, strumming, simple chords, and has songs to help you learn the whole way through. I dont know if its worth 25 bucks, but if your looking to learn the basics before going out and paying for lessons this is a good way to do it.

I got this for my 12 year old daughter - she was very keen to buy herself a guitar, but lacked the confidence to go to a teacher. We had tried a book, but it didnt really grab her attention, and I also told her to go online, but she couldnt find much.

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

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

Still can’t play, but I can follow the chords
