New version of the world's best-selling beginning
guitar CD-ROM! Guitar Method 1 makes learning fun regardless of the type of
guitar you own. 155 comprehensive lessons cover basics to chord strumming, playing
melodies and fingerpicking. Learning guitar is made fun with over 70 songs including
hits from artists such as Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead and Steve Miller. Complemented

lessons and hard-to-follow books. There's simply no easier or faster way to
learn guitar! Includes an animated fretboard, multi-track audio for hit songs,
and variable-speed MIDI tracks so that you can slow down any song or exercise.
You can learn songs in either guitar tablature or standard music notation as
the notes on the screen highlight and fingering is displayed on the animated
fretboard. A built-in automatic tuner allows you to interactively tune your
guitar. In addition, a digital metronome, recorder with playback, Internet song
guide and 250-chord dictionary round out the score!
