Product Description
This new version of the world's best-selling beginning guitar CD-ROM! Guitar Method 1 makes learning fun regardless of the type of guitar you own. 155 comprehensive lessons cover basics to chord strumming, playing melodies and fingerpicking. Learning guitar is made fun with over 70 songs including hits from artists such as Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead and Steve Miller. Complemented by over 30 videos and over 3 hours of audio from guitar instructor/national performer Kevin Garry, Ph.D., the title offers a better alternative to expensive lessons and hard-to-follow books. There's simply no easier or faster way to learn guitar! Includes an animated fretboard, multi-track audio for hit songs, and variable-speed MIDI tracks so that you can slow down any song or exercise. You can learn songs in either guitar tablature or standard music notation as the notes on the screen highlight and fingering is displayed on the animated fretboard. A built-in automatic tuner allows you to interactively tune your guitar. In addition, a digital metronome, recorder with playback, Internet song guide and 250-chord dictionary round out the score!
