8. eMEDIA GUITAR METHOD VOL 1 & 2
Product Description
Volume 1
Media Guitar Method, Vol. 1 eliminates any excuse you may have for leaving your guitar sitting dormant and dusty in the corner. Designed with the beginner in mind, this software offers more than 150 lessons, including everything from how to hold your guitar to chord progressions and fingerpicking techniques. Plus, the exercises are accompanied by full-motion video, helpful audio advice, and an animated fretboard. Add in a digital metronome, digital recorder, and an automatic tuner, and your rationalizations for not learning are null and void.
After setting aside just a couple of minutes for installation and setup, you're ready to go. Upon launching the software, you're given a complete table of contents, making it easy to access whichever lesson you want to start on. If you've never picked up a guitar, the first few lessons are handy, guiding you through different types of guitars, how to string a guitar, tuning, holding, and finger position. All the language is simple and easy to understand, and before long you're playing your first song.
Two of the nicest features are the animated fretboard and full-motion videos. The video demonstrations are perfect for people who may need to hear things more than once or twice. Want to see just how your fingers should be positioned for that full G chord? Just click and watch as many times as you want. And for learning to play songs, the animated fretboard is great, showing you just which fingers go where and when. And the more than 70 songs included are good, too, ranging among such artists as Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Heart, and the Steve Miller Band.
Teaching yourself to play guitar can be frustrating and boring. Fortunately, eMedia has made learning guitar interesting, uncomplicated, and just plain fun. --Joshua Goldman
Volume 2
Designed for the beginning to intermediate guitar player, eMedia's Guitar Method 2 gives you plenty of new techniques to boost your playing chops and extend your range of musical styles. With over 60 lessons on solo guitar licks, rhythm guitar, blues, and fingerpicking techniques, this CD-ROM is a great choice for musicians seeking to extend their range and craft.
The lessons in Guitar Method 2 build up new playing techniques, beginning with hammer-ons, pull-offs, trills, and vibrato techniques. Short musical excerpts using blues, rock, folk, and even classical tunes let you practice these skills for yourself. You can play along with a recording while viewing the score (both in guitar tablature or in standard music notation). The CD-ROM bundles plenty of short video and voice tips, too.
Besides playing leads, Guitar Method 2 has a lot to say about learning new rhythm techniques, particularly for blues and rock (including an excellent introduction to barre chords, a must for any serious guitarist). You'll learn the essence of 12-bar blues, shuffle rhythms, and the like. The final set of lessons concentrates on finger-style guitar, illustrating a variety of picking techniques.
With songs by many of the greats--including Willie Dixon, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Jeff Beck, Bob Dylan, and Jim Croce--Guitar Method 2 lets you learn from the best. Many lessons end with links to the Online Guitar Archive (OLGA) for songs by newer artists who use the same playing techniques.
Beyond the main lessons, additional sections show how to read music and the scales used for a variety of music styles. Added perks here include an electronic metronome, a nifty electronic dictionary of over 150 chords with diagrams, plus a utility to help you tune up. In all, Guitar Method 2 can make you a better guitarist as you learn at your own pace and gain exposure to an appealing range of styles and new techniques. --Rich Dragan
