"Guitar Songs' sound quality surpasses other guitar-teaching CD-ROMs because it uses real recordings of guitars and vocals...now you've got no excuse to skip practicing." -Time Digital magazine
Want to take your playing to the next level? Learn a lot of great licks and chords, and you'll develop your chops.
eMedia Guitar Songs version 2.0 makes learning even easier with new variable-speed MIDI tracks, which allow students to slow down the music as needed and gradually speed up as they learn. The music comes to life with a new animated fretboard that shows fingerings synchronized in real-time to the music tracks, displaying even sophisticated techniques like bends, vibrato and slides as they are played. A revised "song looping" feature makes it easy to highlight and repeat complicated sections of any song.
In addition to the animated fretboard, music tracking highlights notation and lyrics as songs play. Songs include vocals supported by full instrumentation, in addition to the option to display guitar music in either standard music notation or guitar tablature.
Features many hit songs:
The Who ("Behind Blue Eyes") Peter Frampton ("Baby, I Love Your Way") Carlos Santana ("Oye Como Va") Melissa Etheridge ("I'm the Only One") Heart ("Magic Man") Buddy Holly ("That'll Be the Day") Grateful Dead ("Truckin'") Eric Clapton ("Before You Accuse Me") Stevie Ray Vaughan ("The Sky Is Cryin'") Otis Redding ("Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay") Jim Croce ("Bad, Bad Leroy Brown") Taking Heads ("Take Me to the River") Willie Nelson ("On the Road Again") Elvis Presley ("Blue Moon of Kentucky") Ray Charles ("Georgia on My Mind") Bonnie Raitt ("I Can't Make You Love Me") Mozart ("Eine Kleine Nachtmusik") Brahms ("Lullaby") J.S.
