In fact, I liked it so much, I am planning on buying eMedia’s other product, “Beginners Guitar” TK, so that I can grow into Guitar Songs Vol. In conclusion, I have to say this is an excellent, even incredible, product. Therefore it’s perfect for the intermediate guitarist who has the theory background, has done some major finger exercises, and now wants to PLAY. Just can’t look to this for any long-term music theory lessons. You should understand that this Guitar Songs is simply a “Learn Hit Songs Easy” tutorial, and it doesn’t try to say it’s any different from that. After a few hours of fun, I must conclude this: although this CD has some “beginner” songs on it, I think it is better categorized as an “intermediate” tutorial.ĭon’t get me wrong… I was actually playing along with a few of the songs (heck, it even made Carlos Santana’s “Oye Como Va” seem like cake.) The problem is that all this CD can teach me is the 20 songs on the CD. So after playing a few songs all the way through just to watch Guitar Songs do what it does (it’s very cool to watch!) I gave it a go. It also shows you the proper direction to stroke each chord. The fingering is color-coded for each of your fingers, and is very clear. At the same time, the neck of the guitar lights up IN REAL TIME, to show you, note for note, the fingering of the song the entire way through. While it plays, the notes on the sheet music light up IN REAL TIME as the song progresses. Ok, this is where Guitar Songs gets cool: click on the play button and the song starts playing through. It’s been hard for me to see what my video guitar teachers are doing when looking at them dead on.) On the bottom of the window is the neck of a guitar from YOUR vantage point (i.e., you are looking down on the neck from above, a great perspective for learning to play. The next window has the sheet music at the top of the window. The illustrations of each chord show the proper fingering. You select which song you’d like to learn out of the “Juke Box.” Once a selection is made, Guitar Songs first talks you through the picking style of the song, gives a few tips and pointers, then you go over the major chords found in the song. The CD is composed of a “Juke Box” containing 20 classic rock songs. Guitar Songs is an interactive CD-ROM that teaches guitar unlike any other tutorial I’ve seen. That was until I got a hold of eMedia’s Guitar Sons Vol. Finally, not one of the guitar courses I bought really walked me through anything substantial, nor taught me enough each lesson to make me see improvement!

Another part is I’m so damn impatient and I want to be a rock star right NOW. Part of the problem is that I don’t have a whole lot of time to concentrate on fingering exercises and learning to read music. After 5 years of frustration, I have just given up, and that beautiful axe is just collecting cobwebs in the corner of my studio.

Now I’ve tried everything over the last few years to learn: I had a friend who CAN play try to teach me some songs, I bought numerous videos, cassettes, books, magazines, and everything else in between on the topic of learning how to play. Problem with becoming a rock-god is that you have to actually LEARN to PLAY the guitar. You see, I was convinced I was going to finally become that rock star I always dreamed of becoming, and so I bought an “axe” to go along with the whole vision I had thought up for myself. Unfortunately, it has a LOT of dust collecting on it right now. I went for a Gibson, as it is the guitar of choice of all my rock-heroes (Al Jourgensen, James Hetfield, Angus Young…)īeautiful guitar, it is.

It’s a 1970s Gibson Explorer with a nice cherry-wood starburst finish.
