Brilliant for beginners!,
This review is from: Guitar Method (Version 2) (CD-ROM)
I got my guitar for christmas last year ('02) and have been fumbling about with it ever since. I considered getting lessons but didn't have the time or the money. Then one day I came across emedia's Guitar Method and have never looked back. Its packed with features, like the massive chord dictionary that not only shows you the chord it shows you where each finger should be placed and what it should sound like. The lessons are broken down in to easy segments and most of them come with mpeg clips that demonstrate what it is you're trying to achieve. You can skip to certain lessons, techniques or songs and it even comes with a tuner that works through the mic of the computer and a record facility so you can hear how good or bad you are! I could go on all day about this product, if you own a guitar and don't want the expense of lessons then buy this. You won't regret it and you may even learn how to play a song!!!

Superb!,
By Belinda "belindabell" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guitar Method (Version 2) (CD-ROM)
This is THE tool to get over the inital frustration of learning to play guitar. I have tried books, and on-line resources after picking up the guitar for the first time and none did it for me until i came across this software. There were two and only two things that got me to keep playing the guitar instead of chucking it away from frustration. This software was the most important one (and the other was enrolling in a guitar class). The software starts from how to hold the guitar/the pick, how to pluck a string etc and then teaches you basic 2-chord songs that you can play along with the program. There are tips in the form of video clips as you go along also. It shows clearly how to press the chords and which fingers to use for which frets etc, and keeps showing you as you play along. You can also set the speed with which you play by chosing the midi option of playback. There is a metronome feature included also. By the end of the first month, some of the tunes you will be playing will be green sleeves, house of the rising sun, scarborough fair, la bamba etc. The different chapters are: Well worth the money

Must have for budding guitarists,
By Belinda "belindabell" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guitar Method (Version 2) (CD-ROM)
This program offers a very comprehensive approach to learning guitar. A typical lesson includes a close up video of a guitar skill followed by a song or two to practice. The progression is very logical and easy to follow. As the songs get more challenging, there are some great features like the ability to slow the song down or loop sections of the song. I have looked at other software, such as Charranga and I must say that it is no where near as comprehesive and the lesson content and song content do not touch eMedia. The additional featurea in eMedia's software, such as the Automatic Tuner, Animated Fretboard, Recorder, Chord Dictionary and Scale Directory are invaluable. I would definitely recommend eMedia to anyone looking to learn Guitar.
