4.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool, January 9, 2007

This Software is a great tool for learning some awesome blues songs step by step. It is definitely not for beginners though, so if you are wanting to learn basic blues rythms and and scales then this is not the product for you. However, if you are an intermediate level player, like me, and want to learn some really cool blues songs then you can't go wrong with this. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because a couple of the songs are clearly expert level songs and It will take a long time before I'm good enough to play them. Other than that though, it's great.

After downloading a trial version from [...] I decided to purchase the full copy. Being a beginner blues guitarist I have used plenty of DVD's and books to teach me the foundations (scales, chords, turnarounds, etc...). This program allows you to learn note for note the specific songs included on the CDrom. I love the virtual fretboard as it goes right along with the highlighted tablature!
This product gives some artist backgrounds and some interesting tips that will help you actually understand where the solo's come from, which I think is a great help for the beginner guitarist.
I love the fact that you can slow the music down as well as loop whaterever section(s) you chose.
Overall, for the novice that's trying to learn some fantastic songs this is definitely an awesome tool to learn with. Totally worth the money!

I loaded this to Windows Media Player and all I have to show for my money are some songs that would have cost me less than $10 on Itunes.No instructions,nothing,I wish it would have just loaded like EVERY other program out there.It comes up ripping some Johnny Lang album.I don't know what the heck happened.Total mess,never again!
