This easy-to-use CD-ROM uses the same great teaching approach as the best-selling book, in a fun, interactive audio/visual format. Beginners of all ages can learn to read standard music notation and guitar tab; perform songs in a variety of styles; and play chords, scales, and cool licks on either acoustic or electric guitar. Exercises reinforce your playing technique as you follow along with music right on your screen. The interactive song player lets you change tempos, adjust audio levels, and record your performance. Includes the 336-page Essential Dictionary of Music, and a coupon for a FREE set of guitar strings from Elixir.
