You don't need to know a thing about music to shred it up like a rock star. The Power Tour Electric Guitar lets you jam out, teaches you basic guitar lessons and classic rock anthems, and even plays your music from your MP3 player. Recommended for ages 10 to 15 years old, this toy electric guitar will help jumpstart your rock career!
Compact Guitar Lights Up When Played
Made by Tiger Electronics, this miniature electric guitar packs tons of different sounds into compact, 22-inch Gibson SG design. This guitar is constructed with durable plastic with a black body, white pick guard, and a black nylon strap with leather ends. But unlike a Gibson, the special strum and touch sensors takes the place of strings, lighting up when you play, making the Power Tour electric guitar fun and easy to master. Strumming with your thumb instead of a pick, you can learn songs and riffs on your own, with band accompaniment, or with the built-in lessons and famous rock songs. Switching to speaker mode and plugging in your MP3 player, you can even rock out to your favorite tunes with flashing lights.

Easy-To-Learn Lessons and Rock Classics
Even beginners who've never held a guitar before can develop playing skills with easy-to-learn lessons like "Basic Strumming Blues" and "Intro to Hammer-Ons" and "Punkitude." Whether you into metal or punk, the tone knob allows you to switch between four music styles, each with or without its own tone effect, like echo and distortion. But the real fun is playing along to the six built-in famous headbanger classics, including "Wild Thing" and "Smoke on the Water." The Power Tour Electric Guitar firsts shows you how to play the song, then lets you try with lighted notes to help guide you. If you mess up three times, you get booed, but when you master the song, the guitar rewards you with a round of applause.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3
Musical instruments can have huge learning curves, but the Power Tour Electric Guitar makes playing around fun from the get-go. The only real complaint is that the guitar strap is a bit difficult to attach. And while it's no substitute for a real guitar -- the tones and volume fall short of what could be called incendiary -- this toy guitar teaches you lessons and sharpens basic playing skills that could help lead to a life of rock stardom down the road. The included Power Tour 101 instructional DVD helps you get started. Most importantly, you'll learn that rocking out is a blast.
 Features include a strum bar that lets you use a thumb instead of a pick to play. |  Designed after the Gibson SG, the guitar includes a tone knob to adjust the sound. |

Power Tour Guitar Rocks!,

This review is from: Hasbro Power Tour Electric Guitar (Black) (Toy)
This was by far the best gift my son got for his birthday. He hasn't put it down. He has been wanting to learn to play guitar for a long time and following the lights on this guitar makes it easy and fun to learn. The songs are great too and he even uses his MP3 player more because he can play along. He feels like a real rock star now!

Can I Give It Six Stars? Seven? Awesome Guitar Toy!,
By
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Hasbro Power Tour Electric Guitar (Black) (Toy)
Can I give it six stars?! Hands down the best birthday present my 12-year-old got. His 16-year-old brother loves it too. It feels great in the hands, with a nice heft, and shiny smooth "frets" and "strings" that work like touch pads -- no buttons, just touch. NICE.
It's educational, creative, and an awful lot of toy for not much money. BIG hit. It plays in several modes, you can play it like a regular guitar, or play along with your MP3 player plugged into the guitar, or do the fun exercises included in the guitar's pre-programmed tracks. It has a fabulous real guitar sound, very loud, we have to keep telling him "Turn it down!" You don't actually need the amp they sell separately, but I think the grandparents are buying that for Xmas next. He will love that too.

Really cool musical toy,
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Hasbro Power Tour Electric Guitar (Black) (Toy)
This is a really cool electronic instrument. You actually will learn something about musical scales (There are 12 notes that you can play on the fret board...all the notes of a chromatic scale) If you want to play rock, you're all set...power chords all the way.
The guitar has a few modes...(1) playing (2) jamming with external audio (3) 'simon"-esque mode where you follow a pattern that the guitar shows you and (4) 'visualization mode' (you plug in a music source and the fretboard animates to the music while the guitar's speaker plays the audio) You can also choose a different styles for the guitar so the notes you play will sound different (ex: with distortion, or echo, etc.) I find some of the mode to sound very similar. Overall, it's a great piece of technology for a good price.
