eMedia Guitar For Dummies

havent got into it very far, but it seems ok so far.....will keep working on it, as the weeks go by.....

its very good for beginners , i learnt such a great deal in a very short period

I opened up the package and inserted the disc in my computer. Nothing happened. When I went to check the disk it said there was nothing on it. Not a happy camper. Could just be a bad disk. Ill look to getting the same thing at my local book store.

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.

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.

After reaching the middle ages I figured that yet again I would pick up a guitar and try to actually learn a little about playing it.

I bought this for my husband for christmas. He is a very hands on and visual learner so I loved the idea of the videos; however this was more like a glorified book on the computer... the videos and the audio refused to work... I intend to return this and find somthing else that works... Very disapointed...

Comprehensive guide on how to get started with an Acoustic piece. Dummy books have always been good for making information comprehensive and digestible, this is no exception.

I had never touched a guitar in my life but after I finished this program in less then a week I felt comfortable with a guitar in my hands and confident that I could play. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because it really needed to have some kind of book, like a supplementary guide, so I could have the chords and songs on a hard copy and not just having to print them off the computer. Other than that, its a fantastic choice for newbs like me!

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