eMedia Guitar For Dummies

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...

This is a good program, especially for beginners. My only complaint, which isnt even really a big deal, is the disc needs to be in the computer if you want to watch any of the videos or listen to any sounds. I wish it would have just installed the entire thing onto the computer. Also, I wasnt sure if it would be compatible with windows 7, since there was no mentioning of it, but rest assured, it is compatible.

This is the same package I purchased five years ago. It will not work with windows 10 as advertised. I will need to return this item.

Grandson received this on his 11th birthday and is doing well with his new guitar. This book has been a great help.

I bought this for a friend who has a mac with no place to insert a dvd. Is there a version of this that can be downloaded?

Great product!

This was a gift I purchased for a relative of mine who is just getting into music or more preferably learning how to play guitar. I brought it after it was referenced to me by one of my studio clients who had recommended it to his students in the past. I cant say much about it because I havent used it first hand but I did run through the program that was lent to me and it is very very informative. Even though I dont play guitar I do play several instruments and understand what good music theory is. This is a great stepping stone for someone just starting out.

I tried learning the Guitar several time. All with instructors and never felt like I laearned anything . I was shown several cords and a wheel which I still do not understand. But this product teaches everything as a beginner should be show. You learn at your own pace and you start off with very simple cords and proceed on . The best thing I LIKE about it you start plating songs from the star. I only have this teaching guide a few weeks and i am playing better than I ever did paying for instruction . I just enjoy this product so much . I am spreading the word to others of my age group to try it. I am a senior citizen. Young teens and others will be rocking i9n no time at all.

Id never picked up a guitar before this CD course, but had always fancied giving it a go, but where to start? I borrowed my Dads guitar, put in this CD and I can hardly believe how easy it is to get started and keep learning. The videos and diagrams are great and the pacing is just right - you can genuinely start from scratch and be accompanying a song in minutes, but the lessons always keep pushing you to learn more and keep improving. Being able to follow your progress on the screen is much better than trying to learn from a book and getting lost.

A nice enough intro to the guitar, with guides on how to string and tune your guitar (has a guitar tuner option, if your PC has a microphone), some 80 lessons on playing simple chords, various strumming styles and chord progressions. An animated fretboard demonstrates the fingering and there are also a number of videos that demonstrate various aspects of the lessons being taught. Theres also a digital metronome and recording option so you can record and playback your newly acquired guitar prowess. There are some 40 or so songs to learn as you go along.
