Book changed my life!,
This book really took my playing to another level. When I first came across this book I was struggling to keep my fingering for even the few major chords that I knew. A month later I have a repitore of 35 chords I can play without having to think about, and a limited but expanding ability to solo. And I owe 75% of it to this book alone. This book is where it’s at for beginners who are tired of playing “Mary Had A Little Lamb”, and “Greensleeves”, and the rest of those boring songs most beginners get force fed.

|Just what I needed to start playing for real,
I’ve been fiddling with the guitar for years now, without making any progress. It’s tough being married, with kids, a job, and other hobbies to get serious with lessons and everything. I found this book gives enough direction to make real progress in short practice sections. The steps are deceptively simple; you’ll learn a principle, and then you’ll be responsible to practice it until it’s right.
Even with just a little time I’m filling in a lot of gaps in my playing. I’m learning open chords I ignored before. I’m getting much better at my transitions. My fingers are getting stronger. In just a few weeks, I’ve advanced more than in many years of goofing around. This book is well worth the price.

|Quick start for beginning guitarist,
I found this to be a very good teaching tool to learn to play rock style music. I have never played the guitar before only the violin for eight years while in school. Now I am in my thirties and thought it would be too difficult to learn to play. I have been through the first four lessons and so far it is great. I can work at my own pace, repeat sections I find difficult and play actual songs with lyrics. It is great to play real music not just practice the chords and riffs (although practice is required, it is just more fun). Great piece of sofware. I combined this with a couple of books to study when not at the computer and this worked great for me. Great job eMedia. I look forwrard to additional eMedia song books for rock music.

|Great so far!,
Though I’ve odered many times with Amazon, this is the first time I have been excited enough to review a product! I’m an adult who wants to learn guitar for fun and didn’t want to play “Mary had a little lamb” and scales for months. I have only used the software for about an hour, and have already been playing parts of songs I actually like! I have been playing guitar for a total of one week prior to receiving this (without any instruction).This is perfect if you don’t have the patience or desire to learn the traditional way. I wish I had this when I was 14, I would have loved it.
I can’t vouch for the whole thing yet, since I’ve only played with it for an hour, so I give it 4 stars instead of five. From what I’ve seen I have no reason to expect that it will let me down and highly recommend it.
