I am sure there are better options
I have been playing guitar for a couple of yers now, so I was looking to use this not for the the lessons (which seemed fine) but rather for the music writing party of it and the feature that helps learn a song looked pretty cool also. The price was cheap, and that should have set off the warning alarm. It came with no instructions, their webpage (which was almost all in German)had a very limited selection of songs to choose from and whats more, you had to pay in order to be able to download songs to learn. The jam room was practically impossible to use due to the fact that there were no instructions whatsoever, and within three days, this piece of junk was off my comp and sitting on a shelf, never to be released again.

Folks, save your cash. Trust me, it’s not worth it. As I have learned, if you want to write your music, paper and pencil work much better than this does.

Bad Bad Bad

    Click Here for more informationUnexpected gemWell, I LIKE the fact that you can run it straight from the CD (well OK, you’re *forced* to). Why, exactly, does software have to be ‘installed’, anyway?
    That aside, this is an excellent product. I picked it up very cheaply and didn’t expect much, having […]

It is an eclectic mixture spanning several popular styles, but most of the ‘classic’ guitar tracks are from the world of heavy rock. As a fan of that […]
