5.0 out of 5 stars It's really gotten me on my way!, January 8, 2008

This review is from: Teach Yourself to Play Guitar Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Originally I received an older version in Sept 2007, but the company replaced it with the newer updated version in November when I had some technical problems. It's been great!!! It's very clear, concise, and well-paced, even for an total beginner like me. The new version is a siginificant improvement over the old one, and I totally recommend it. as for the previous reviews, everything that was supposed to be in the box was there. And, why would you even bother with software if that's not the way you like to learn? Also, it's run perfectly fine on my Windows Vista computer and my MacBook Pro.

1.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to follow along, January 7, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Teach Yourself to Play Guitar Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Following along with the computerized music and tablature has proven impossible. I write all down on paper then come back after I learn it and the animation just messes with my head and it all falls apart.
Also for a deluxe edition there is a lot missing accessories and the games are lame.
I don't recommend it.
