Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Electric GuitarCoach does exactly what it says on the box: it introduces electric guitar techniques--riffs, soloing and chord positions--and gives a graded series of lessons that build towards playing a selection of popular songs that include Black Sabbath's old warhorse "Paranoid" and the Bryan Adams' "Run to You". The easy-to-use interface will be familiar to anyone who has used the acoustic GuitarCoach, as will the on-screen tabulature and video clips that show both right and left hand positions. As with its acoustic counterpart, this is a real improvement on the many instructional videos on the market. But for the absolute beginner it should be seen as a supplement to learning with a good teacher, not as a substitute.--Mark Walker

4.0 out of 5 stars Electric Guitar Coach, 30 Mar 2001
It has been a long standing dream of mine to be able to play guitar. I listen to mostly alternative rock so the tracks listed on the box made up my mind to finally take the bull by the horns and go for it.

Within hours I was producing some recognisable sounds and found myself playing along to one of my favourite Green Day tracks - Good Riddance (Time of your life). The package is very well structered into levels with each level being subdivided into categories. At the end of each level are a few well known songs for you to try out your new skills. All of the lessons, exercises and "cool trax" (their term - not mine!) are broken down into bite size chunks with video clips and then brought back together for you to play with or without a virtual band as backing. It covers all of the common left and right hand techniques that the "real boys" use such as palm muting, slides, bends, fret hand muting, etc as well as giving you a solid grounding on how to read guitar tab notation which is readily available across the web.

My only gripe with the whole thing is that it tends to gloss over the music theory and jumps straight into getting you playing. Whilst this sounds like a good thing, it does limit you in trying new things once you have covered the exercises. What it does do is to install confidence and spurs you on to achieve the next goal it sets.

To sum up, its an excellant starting point for the absolute beginner but don't expect to be still using it 6 months down the line - you will have moved on. Complete the course though, and you will be able to convince your friends you really can play that nice shiney guitar you've bought. My personal fave is the Clapton riff from "Sunshine of your love". It'll get 'em every time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top quality guitar fun!, 12 Mar 2003
As a very mediocre musician I found this software to be invaluable for two main reasons. The first is that it starts at the beginning, it does not assume you can play and need a refresher or that you are too proud to be told what to do.

The second is the quality of the video audio. Not grainy or poor resolution, you really can clearly see what is happening, where your fingers need to be on the fretboard and what to play. This is the whole point of this kind of product in my view, why bother with a CD Rom otherwise? This makes this better than any tuition book and the ease of use and high quality makes it better than any video.

The songs included are contemporary and worth learning in their own right, really good software all round
