 Easy to use... August 14, 2010

This was an Amazon Lightning Deal a few months ago. My 20 yr. old daughter is very musical, she sings, plays flute, saxophone & keyboard. We recently purchased a Seagull acoustic guitar for her, along with some how to books. When I saw eMedia Guitar Method v5 on sale, I thought I'd buy it for her. She doesn't have time to take personal guitar lessons and loves this program. For her, it's easier than learning from a "Learn How Book". Amazon has done an excellent job in describing this software program - just check out the Product Features and Product Description.
My daughter will vouch for its effectiveness and its ease of use. She's using the program on an Asus laptop; OS Windows Visa. She doesn't have any problem with computer crashes; everything works smoothly, as it should.
She also told me not to forget to say that she really likes this program.

I have a lot of problems with this program. It's often slow and crashes on me, or hangs up. Lots of bugs. The tuner is the only thing I like about it.

This version of eMedia Guitar Method is nicely enhanced from the previous version. I find it easy to use. I like that I can tune my guitar using the tuner. I have had fun using this program so far.
Delighted with my progress! March 1, 2010

I have been using the program for about six weeks and it has been the most significant reason why I am advancing quickly in my ability to play the guitar. I have also taken a few lessons with a teacher, bought another basic beginner book/DVD and found videos on the internet. Each of those, and practice, certainly has helped me get some basic skills, but this program has been the key for me.
The program jumps in pretty quickly and allows you to play along to songs within a few minutes. It starts with very basic chords and then keeps building on what you have learned and you progress. Being able to watch the computer screen and hear the music along as you play is great for getting skills in reading music and keeping a steady beat. It is easy to use and you can take anything at your own pace. I have gone back to the beginning numerous times and walked through all the songs as practice, and it is amazing how you were struggling with a song just a few days ago, and now you can knock it right out.
I would recommend it strongly. I don't think it is appropriate for young kids, but I expect anyone in their teens or older would fine this program very helpful.

I bought emedia guitar primarily for my 6 year old son as I thought it would be a pretty good start for him to learn a hobby with me as I have never played guitar either. Slightly too advanced for him, so I ended up with a more basic package for him, however I ended up following the lesson plan through into the late hours of each night and I love it. The direction is awesome and I have learned many songs already. Not little kids songs like Mary Had a Little Lamb, but more like Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart songs. Highly recommended as a product for anyone that only has about 30 minutes a day to practice on your own time and not an instructor that you need an appointment with. I am currently working on the song LaBamba. Not quite as easy as Knockin on Heavens door, but I will get it.
