eMedia Guitar For Dummies

I ordered this because of an Amazon Deal of the Day. First disk arrived promptly but wouldnt work in either of two computers. I sent for a replacement and just got it today. Same story, second verse...it doesnt work either. I suspect there was a bad lot of CDs for some reason. I wouldnt buy this until Amazon can provide some reasonable assurance that theyve got disks that work.

So far, Im impressed by the quality of this software. The only qualification to this is that it is like traditional musical instruction - that is, it starts with the most granular building blocks and works its way upward. For many students, especially younger ones, this might be a bit too slow. Theres always a desire to try and jump right into more advanced techniques. The only other thing to mention is that to really use stuff like the built-in tuner, you need some method to get the input into your PC. I took the simple route of just plugging the guitar into the amp, then running the headphone jack on the amp to the line-in on the PC. Honestly, Im not quite sure what I would have done if I were using an acoustic guitar. The times I just tried to use the PCs built-in microphone, it picked up far too much environmental noise to be of any use. Still, I like this software a lot and unhesitantly recommend it for a complete guitar beginner like me.

was a gift. he loves it

so far so good I have learned the problem is not the product, but me the guitar player, I suck..

This is a little hard to follow, but still very useful.

I got this for my 12 year old daughter - she was very keen to buy herself a guitar, but lacked the confidence to go to a teacher. We had tried a book, but it didnt really grab her attention, and I also told her to go online, but she couldnt find much.

I bought this to help my son learn to play the guitar. The CD doesnt work - cant even get it to come up on my computer. I insert it into the disc drive and nothing happens. I contacted the company directly and received NO response. Very disappointed in this purchase.

Didnt load to several computers. Your right about the dummies if you buy this.

Perfekt!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you profesor!!!!

As a guitarist of 16 years who learnt before the event of fancy media and the internet, these products hold a certain fascination for me!
