eMedia Guitar Songs v2 [Old Version]

Product Description

From the Manufacturer Want to take your playing to the next level? Learn a lot of great licks and chords, and you'll develop your chops. Guitar Songs version 2.0 teaches the guitar and bass parts for 21 hit songs made famous by guitar legends such as Eric Clapton. This marks the first time these songs are available in an easy-to-learn, multi-track format. The student can now listen to separate tracks from the CD-quality sound recordings: guitar-only, band and vocals with no guitar, bass-only, no-bass, and rhythm-only. 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. Guitar Songs comes with several built-in accessories: an automatic tuner (complete with custom tunings as needed), a recorder (for use with the computer's microphone), and a digital metronome. Complete artist biographies and photographs round out the learning experience. Celebrity performances on Guitar Songs include Peter Frampton playing "Baby, I Love Your Way" and Roger Fisher, former guitarist of Heart, playing a special version of "Magic Man" just for the CD-ROM. "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 "Never mind Riven; now you've got no choice but to turn on your computer."
