5.0 out of 5 stars Nice starter guitar kit
I've always wanted to learn guitar and picked this package up because my friend really liked Emedia Guitar Method. This pack is a really good deal because it includes guitar method, a good guitar and other stuff you will need.

The guitar is pretty good for the price. I'm still learning but it is easy to play and sounds good.

The guitar method is...

1.0 out of 5 stars eMedia may make good software, but the guitar is lacking
I had wanted to learn to play the guitar after many failed attempts over the years. This came up as a gold box deal, so I thought what the heck and ordered it, as I had seen many positive reviews of the eMedia software. I received the package and it was *very* light. I opened it up and laughed as it looked like a kids toy. I decided that I better not waste my money...

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice starter guitar kit, November 16, 2009
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
I've always wanted to learn guitar and picked this package up because my friend really liked Emedia Guitar Method. This pack is a really good deal because it includes guitar method, a good guitar and other stuff you will need.

The guitar is pretty good for the price. I'm still learning but it is easy to play and sounds good.

The guitar method is very easy to follow along with. It starts with easy to play chords, so you are playing songs right away. On the CD is a tuner, so you can tune your guitar. The program also teaches you how to tune by ear. I've been really into it, so I'm pretty far into the lessons and am starting to learn a Stones song. As I'm getting into harder stuff, they have some great tools to help you learn. You can slow the songs down and take certain parts you are working on and create a loop to practice that part over and over until you get it.

If you are just starting out and don't have a big budget, this is a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicer than it appeared online, January 19, 2010

This was a gift for my son and I thought it sounded good, though it was a bit hard to tell from the online images what it would look and feel like. We are impressed on both counts. It's a nice set, with everything you need for basic lessons and protection of the instrument, and my son is really enjoying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pack to start out on, January 19, 2010
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
I got this for my son for Christmas. I didn't want to spend too much, as you never know what kids will stick with. I play and didn't want him banging on my Taylor. When he opened in on Christmas it was a favorite. I play, so I tried out the guitar and it played fine and stayed in tune. I read through some of the other reviews and wonder if people aren't being overly critical considering this is a beginner guitar under $100. Granted, it isn't a great guitar but fine for someone starting out. Most of us start out on something basic and move one once we get the passion.

The software is what makes this pack stand out. We have been going through it together and I am quite impressed with the quality of the lessons. My parent put me in 6 years of private lessons at $30 an hour. The software included is a great start at guitar.

This was the perfect collection of necessities that accompanied this guitar. It was received in a great timely fashion. I loved it and was happy with the sound and quality of it.

I opened it up and laughed as it looked like a kids toy. I decided that I better not waste my money and returned this kit and to go ahead and invest in a decent starter instrument (I bought a Seagull Coastline S6 Burst GT Guitar). I may go ahead and buy the standalone eMedia Guitar Method disc, but for now, I'm doing fine with the free lessons [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't get what I paid for, June 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
I just got this today, and it looked great, until I realized that there were missing items. I didn't receive most of what I paid for!! I DID NOT RECEIVE:
The extra set of strings,
The guitar strap,
The pick,
The CD-ROM,
OR the DVD!!
This is very disappointing and I would either like to return this for a FULL refund, or it would be nice to get these items now that I have the guitar and bag.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nylon Strings and Poor Packaging, January 21, 2010
By G. Robert Arnold "AngryBuyer" (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
Received this guitar right after Christmas, it was so poorly packed that when I opened the box, the top cover of the guitar was completely detached. There was no protection in the packaging what so ever.

Upon further investigation, I also noticed that it was all nylon strings. Basically it a kiddy guitar to be bought to mess around on, not to actually learn or play. I would avoid purchasing at all costs. There are much better First time or learner guitars out there. I know Targets First Act series are way better than this option.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, December 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
After reading the first review, I bought this for a 7 year old. It was so cheaply made that I was embarassed to give it even to a child. If I don't give it to a neighbor, I likely will throw it away. I couldn't even tune it to where it sounded tolerable. I went out the next day and purchased another guitar to give as a gift. If you want to learn to play guitar, the instrument must have a minimal level of quality. Purchase this if sound and quality are unimportant and you'Emedia Eg07091 Essential Guitar Packre only looking for piece of painted wood with 6 adjustable strings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Arrived Broken TWICE?!, December 22, 2009
By QF Jane (Lone Star State) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eMedia Essential Guitar Pack (Electronics)
I ordered this to give as a gift. Prime shipping was fast and great as usual, but the box was a single layer of cardboard and the item arrived damaged. So I asked for an exchange. That came overnight (yay Prime!), but sadly the 2 guitar was cracked. They really need to use some kind of padding with this item.

We returned both of the broken ones. Overall the quality of the guitar was very poor along with the damage in shipping. I don't recommend this at all.
