1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible for Beginners, December 27, 2004

There is very little that is "interactive" about this product. It is mostly a book online. The CD mostly shows you the pages of the book. The "Chord Game" is not interactive--and it doesn't even use the computer. It is played with flashcards that you have to cut out of the book. The interface for playing your guitar is weak. The sound quality is poor. Nothing is intuitive about this user interface. It requires much trial and error. This is a terrible product for beginners.

Just got this from Best Buy, looks great so far. I am an absolute beginner and I was worried it would be too advanced for me, but it really does start at the beginning. A lot of information, but it is presented well. I highly recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Comp-U-Pare does not work, May 1, 2007

The software would be about okay as Guitar tutor software but it does not include any well known songs to learn (unlike some other packages like eMedia's Rock Guitar which I prefer). Also, the Comp-U-Pare feature - the main reason I bought the software - does not work and actually crashes the software. There is a support website but it is terrible with lots of broken links on the website (that are supposed to go to pages on the website that are no longer at the given URL rather than linking to missing external pages). In particular, there is a dead link that is supposed to download an upgrade.
