eMedia Interactive Rock Guitar
makes learning guitar easy
with over 100 audio- and
video-enhanced interactive
rock guitar lessons. You can
start from ground zero, and
our revolutionary teaching
style will have you playing
songs, chords and riffs within
minutes. Soon you?ll be
playing modern rock, classic
rock, punk, grunge and metal.
Learn from killer rock songs
including ?Paranoid? by Black
Sabbath and ?You Really Got
Me? as by Van Halen.
Instructor Charles McCrone, a
graduate of the cutting-edge
Guitar Institute of Technology
with over 25 years of playing
and teaching experience, takes
you through all the techniques
needed to play rock, punk and
metal. These include movable
power chords, barre chords,
effects pedals, yanks, hammer-
ons, pull-offs, palm muting,
distorted riffs, the blues
scale, using feedback, the
whammy bar and more! All these
techniques are applied to
playing hit songs, with an
animated fretboard guiding you
through fingerings as the
music plays.
Playing exercises and riffs is
more fun than ever with over
40 jam tracks. There are
"Slow" and "Fast" versions, as
well as "Full" and "Rhythm
Only" versions. Even long
after you?ve finished the
coursework, you can come back
and enjoy practicing your
guitar technique with the jam
tracks.
Instant Feedback shows you
when you play the correct
notes on your guitar as you
progress through an exercise
or melodic riff. With a
microphone connected to your
computer and a guitar in your
hands, play the notes on any
screen featuring the ?ear?
icon in the upper right corner
and the computer will
highlight the notes for you in
green. As you reach your goal
of getting all notes to change
color as you play them
correctly, you?ll discover
that reading tablature is
easier than you ever thought
possible!
