The title is stretching it a bit

Posted by Jamie from Illinois on Aug 11, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: just starting out

Reviewer's Play Style: rock, metal

This won't make you a master, but it does teach you the basics and gets you playing some songs quickly. It has easy versions of some famous songs and teaches how to play "in the style of" other famous groups, I assume for copyright reasons. The best part is that you can click on any note and it shows what to play in a pop up window, there are also videos and voice overs so you can hear the music and then repeat it. this is very useful to get the rhythm of the song down. There is a lot of work on power chords and enough lessons to keep you busy for a few weeks. I got mine in a 2 for 1 deal from an office supply chain in thier discounted software so it was basically free.
