Features of this guitar tutorial include step-by-step video lessons, an interactive song player that lets you see exactly how songs are played, games, and a very cool Play It By Ear training program. The software is for use with either acoustic or electronic guitars. The lessons teach both standard music notation and TAB. Content covers over 60 songs from genres like rock, heavy metal, blues, country, jazz and folk. Included in the package is a paperback music dictionary. There's a ton of content in this program, lessons are straightforward and well presented, and the games are fun. Note that this is a program best suited to teens and adults.
