New modern rock chapter includes various contemporary strumming styles, movable power chords and power chord riffs. Now with over 50 full-motion videos including split-screens and close-ups of both hands. Includes an animated fretboard, multi-track audio, variable-speed MIDI and over 70 popular songs.

Features:

- 70+ Songs: Guitar Method 1 features songs covering rock, blues, classical, country and folk genres to make learning fun and memorable. Dynamic, multi-track audio has been added to our latest version which includes many hit songs popularized by artists such as Bob Dylan ("Knockin' on Heaven's Door"), Rolling Stones/Doors ("Little Red Rooster"), the Steve Miller Band ("Rock N' Me"), Heart ("Dreamboat Annie"), Rod Stewart/Tom Waits ("Downtown Train") and the Grateful Dead ("Uncle John's Band").

Music tracking highlights the notes being played on the screen, making it simple to follow along. Includes option for both right- and left-handed views.

"Great product, great price"

Sound: I like the course, it lets you bracket any part of a song and keep repeating it until you get it. The sound is clear and the explainations are clear. Feature: I like the metranome, speed is ajustable to your speed. The animated fretboard is a little hard to get used to, but it's nice when you get used to it. Ease of Use: Very easy to modify to your speed and ability. Clear manual, you move on when your ready. Quality: Great, especially considering the price. Value: Great course, great price. It's there, you just need to use it. Manufacturer Support: I've had this product for a number of years. Never had to contact the company. The Wow Factor: Mostly the content, ease of use. Overall: It's a great course, especially the way it's pakaged and priced.
