The new version of the world's best-selling beginning guitar CD-ROM! Over 160 comprehensive lessons cover everything from the basics to chord strumming, playing melodies, and fingerpicking. A modern rock chapter includes various strumming styles, movable power chords, and power chord riffs. Over 50 large-format videos from instructor Kevin Garry, Ph.D., include split-screens and close-ups of both hands. Learning guitar is made fun with over 70 songs, including famous hits from artists such as Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, and Steve Miller. Many of the songs are recorded live with multi-track full band accompaniment. As the songs play, an animated fretboard guides you through the fingerings, and MIDI tracks allow you to slow down and loop parts of the music for practice. This new version includes larger easy-to-read screens, enhanced audio and video, and custom animated fretboard skins. eMedia Guitar Method is the ultimate way to learn how to play guitar!

I bought this software for my husband who has had some basic guitar lessons in the past from a tutor. He decided he wanted to get a guitar and learn again so that was his gift this Christmas.
He says that the program is very easy to learn from. He stated that even if he didn't know anything about guitar he would have been able to learn from this software. As it is, he is fairly flying through the lessons and picking up a lot of new chords and frets that he didn't know before. He likes that you can see the fret or chord finger placement and you can also hear what it is supposed to sound like so you can compare how you're strumming is compared to the real thing.
The songs that it has are actually links to the internet that connect you to an individuals recording that will instruct you to play the song and give you verbal instructions as to what cords to play, etc. My husband says this works well. He's been forcing himself to do this in the early lessons for practice of the cords even though he is learning simple songs like jingle bells, etc. He says the practice is getting his fingers used to playing the cords again and it is helping.
All in all, my husband says this is a very good program for beginners and he will very likely get the more advanced programs as he progresses.
For us this was an excellent alternative as we are retired and have a beautiful lake home so the drive to town, especially in winter, to take lessons would probably become tedious and he would quit. For people who have very busy lifestyles and can't take time to take private lessons this is a major plus also. Besides, my husband says this is like having the tutor in the house with you all the time and you don't have to try to remember what he said about this cord or that. None of that practicing all week and then finding out you've been doing it wrong all week. My husband likes it better than the once a week instructions you get from a private lesson and much cheaper too.

Great software for beginner guitar. It is not dumbed down nor over ones head. Very well put together program that is intuitive and interactive. Easily save yourself hundreds if not thousands with this program alone if you are just starting out on guitar. Half hour lessons with a teacher will not be better than this in my opinion. And you get to see if guitar is really for you. Just a great starting point with lots of actual learning.
