Editorial Review

Electric Guitar Coach teaches you the skills you need to become an accomplished electric guitarist. The software will patiently coach you step-by-step using video clips from either the learner's point of view or from underneath the strings, bringing you to the point where you can easily play along with the included full-band accompaniments. Not only will you learn to play famous songs, but you'll be skilled enough to play the kind of music you want to play.

Each lesson starts by introducing something new, such as a fret hand technique, a new scale, or original chord ideas. You practice what you learn with video and backing tracks at different speeds. The extensive video uses advanced technology to bring you crystal clear views of exactly what to play, and offers a full range of angles, shots, and speeds from which to choose. Every level of Electric Guitar Coach offers a range of music for your lessons. Among the tracks are rock, blues, and indie songs by Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, Bush, Placebo, and more.
