 Quick start for beginning guitarist March 25, 2005
Todd Dennis (Lincoln, NE USA)
21 out of 22 found this review helpful
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.
Better than eMedia Guitar Basics September 3, 2007

This is way better than the eMedia Guitar Basics CD-ROM because you actually know what the songs are supposed to sound like when you play them. They have rock songs that you've heard before, unlike the "folk" songs and spirituals that Guitar Basics teaches you.
Unfortunately this does not work with Windows Vista, so I have to use it on a computer that uses XP.
What a Surprise! January 2, 2009

I got this software for my husband along with a new guitar for Christmas. After about 1/2 an hour he had the guitar tuned (using the automatic tuner included in the software)and was playing the begining of a real song. I was very surprised. I had been expecting to hear alot of Mary had a little lamb, but with this program, he was able to rock right out of the box. This is a must for anyone who would like to learn a little recreational guitar playing.
eMedia Rock Guitar Method Review September 30, 2005

I thought this was a great product. It's like having your own guitar instructor, but even better. You only have to pay once and you get hours of instructions you can use for as long as you want. Also, you can use it any time you want without having to make a trip. I'm pleased with my purchase. You will be too.
best self instruction I've tried July 19, 2007
KDW (Alameda CA)
I have tried reading at least ten books on beginning guitar and always stumble because I don't know how things are supposed to sound or the tempo. This CD lets you hear and then shows the fretboard, it has made a huge difference for me. It also teachs a bunch of little bits and then puts them all together. Best money that I have spent to date
