5 Stars — Check out eMedia’s Guitar Method CD-ROM. More than just music... my favorite feature is the built-in 'tape recorder' which allows you to record your performance and replay it. Ideal instruction for beginners.
– Toronto Sun

Our biggest praise: Guitar Method, while teaching traditional theory, focuses on making learning simple and on letting students play real songs quickly.
Its price is the cost of one traditional lesson. At that price, you can't go wrong.
