Progess You Can Hear,
By Big Dave (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock Guitar Method (CD-ROM)
This is the second CD-ROM based guitar tutor that I've used and by far the better of the two. The key thing is that it teaches you using tunes with which you're already familiar (assuming you're a rock fan) and this helps you to get the timing right and recognise when you're playing something close to how it should sound. I was cranking out a passable (or at least recognisable) version of Free's All Right Now within an hour of inserting the disk. The program works gradually through techniques, starting with simple one finger power chords and on to more complex scales and solos but progress is such that you never really feel that you're having to work at it. I'm only about a quarter of the way through and already feel that I've had value for money. Recommended.

Great so far!,
By middle-aged punk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rock Guitar Method (CD-ROM)
Though I've odered many times with Amazon, this is the first time I have been excited enough to review a product! I'm an adult who wants to learn guitar for fun and didn't want to play "Mary had a little lamb" and scales for months. I have only used the software for about an hour, and have already been playing parts of songs I actually like! I have been playing guitar for a total of one week prior to receiving this (without any instruction).This is perfect if you don't have the patience or desire to learn the traditional way. I wish I had this when I was 14, I would have loved it.
I can't vouch for the whole thing yet, since I've only played with it for an hour, so I give it 4 stars instead of five. From what I've seen I have no reason to expect that it will let me down and highly recommend it. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful:

Quick start for beginning guitarist,
By Todd Dennis "rock wannabe" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rock Guitar Method (CD-ROM)
I found this to be a very good teaching tool to learn to play rock style music. I have never played the guitar before only the violin for eight years while in school. Now I am in my thirties and thought it would be too difficult to learn to play. I have been through the first four lessons and so far it is great. I can work at my own pace, repeat sections I find difficult and play actual songs with lyrics. It is great to play real music not just practice the chords and riffs (although practice is required, it is just more fun). Great piece of sofware. I combined this with a couple of books to study when not at the computer and this worked great for me. Great job eMedia. I look forwrard to additional eMedia song books for rock music.

My son loves it!!,
By Jerry G. Guevara "Keep Your Head to the Sky" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rock Guitar Method (CD-ROM)
I picked this up for my twelve year old son. He is a beginner and has been glued to his electric guitar and eMedia Rock Guitar Method for the last two weeks. The program is a great starter, just in case the kids don't stick with it. It's better than $45 bucks an hour once a week, for now, at least.
Great Product! I reccomend it. |
