(What's this?)
I was very keen to try this, being a drummer I have always fancied trying guitar and despite being a champion at 'Guitar Hero' this was finally my chance to try it for real properly, I already own 3 guitars and toyed with real lessons for a while but was put off with the extra expense so for £20 and something to last you a long time to work through this is an absolute steal!
Absolutely essential for beginners up to intermediate! Features all my personal favourite songs and novel thingssuch as the guitar tuner, so if you haven't already invested in one this is a fantastic way to tune up, and I have actually found it is more accurate than my own I had bought! You simply use the microphone and it teaches you how to tune.
In a couple of hours I'd learn't 2 songs that were recognisable by my friends so I can't recommend it any more! I'm going through the stages and while I'm not quite ready to leave my drums to be a guitar hero, I think i'm on my way!
Great present idea for he budding guitarist/rock star! and best of all it is fun!

I have been playing the guitar for over 30 years now, and have been asked to teach nephews and nieces a few of the basics, and whilst this program is obviously derived from a video game, it does have some fairly usable elements, such as the video tutorials, chord library and metronome ... by the way, I would recommend installing this on a laptop rather than a PC ... just for additional mobility.
There is a good mix of older, and newer music to learn, so we at least have a chance of finding something in common to learn and play.
I would have liked to have seen a basic chord dictionary included, but they are only a few pounds.
All in all, a bit of fun, with enough behind it to encourage beginners.

(What's this?)
If you've just bought an electric guitar or been given one then this is a pretty good PC based tutor. Lots of basic electric guitar skills demonstrated and the techniques used are excellent like being able to reverse the video to suit left and right handed people and having a split screen effect where you are able to see close up's of what both hands are doing at the same time to ensure you get it right. The other tutor I have used was the Guitar playing for dummies and that's not bad but scores over this as it addresses both electric and acoustic guitars. However this scores over the Dummies version as the instructor seems to interact with the viewer better and seems more plausible.
If you can afford to then get them both. The Dummies guide book is more educational, but this one would appeal to the younger 'rocker' looking to wail his first tunes from a guitar.
