eMedia Guitar For Dummies

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.

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.

GREAT!

this guitar program makes learning the guitar fun and easy. I use the tuning button over my clip on tuner.

Found this a great way to pick up and start playing from the very start. Next stop is the big time..

Ive had the product for only 2 days now and I love it. I play a wide variety of instruments but the guitar is something that Ive wanted to play for years now. This product truly can assist anyone young or old how to play. It will go above and beyond the expectations of anyone who purchases it. Each time I use the program it feels like Im somewhere like Guitar Center paying out the a$$ for guitar lessons. Dont get me wrong, I love Guitar Center and there one-on-one lessons are great, but if youre on a budget and youre determined to learn how to play within your available free time (night or day) then this is the way to go.

We ordered this book for our son who has been using these lessons and accompanying PC content to help with his school guitar lessons. We have had a number of Dummies books over the years - some have proved helpful while others were dire, so we received this book with an open mind, hoping it would help our sons progress playing his guitar.

Got this as a Christmas present. When opened, it had the wrong CD. Had to order replacement and return the first one.

I am not impressed with this product its not very good looks like the cd was made by an amateur & is not very helpful to a beginner, it would have been a bit better if it had a book to go with it instead of a poor cd in a large half empty box.

Just as advertised.
