I've tried learning to play several times over the years by using beginner books or lame instructors but always gave up in frustration. I bought eMedia Guitar Basics because I wasn't sure if it was my chosen learning methods or a lack of desire that made it so easy to quit before. I ordered the software and it arrived within a few days. I began immediately and I can honestly say that within the first few minutes I knew this was the right approach for me. The lessons are easy to follow and clearly layed out visually with additional video and audio clips provided. At first I thought the song selections were boring (and they are) but I quickly realized they were an effective way to teach chords and changes. After all, it is a BASICS package. The extras include a tuner, metronome, chord dictionary, recorder, animated fretboard and a short glossary of terms and all if these are a great help. This package is a perfect primer for anyone who may not be sure they want to play. Much easier to understand than a beginners book and much cheaper than an instructor. This will definitely get you started on the right path and at under $20 you can't beat it. I've been at it for 2 weeks and am moving on to the next step in the eMedia series.

This program is easy to use, works with Windows 7 and gives me, a beginner, a basic, easy to use learning tool.
