eMedia Guitar Method is arranged in twelve chapters. These incremental lessons cover the basics from holding, stringing, and tuning the guitar to playing chords and melodies, culminating in an explanation of fingerpicking styles, reading standard music notation, and a new chapter on ear training.

Lessons include a variety of exercises and songs. In total, there are over 50 high-quality videos and over three hours of audio and video! On-screen teacher Kevin Garry, Ph.D., provides clear and friendly instruction.

With eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method you’ll learn to play solos like the ones Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix made famous, using newly acquired skills such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends, vibrato, and slides.

Barre chords and different strumming styles are covered in the rhythm chapters, and there’s a fingerstyle chapter as well. Intervals, scales, and the basics of improvisation are also covered in this comprehensive volume containing over 170 lessons.

With both courses, you get songs in a variety of genres to make learning fun and memorable – including Rock, Blues, Folk, Country, and Classical! Over 130 songs include hits such as:

• Bob Dylan (“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”)
• Eric Clapton/Rolling Stones (“Spoonful”)

Also included are popular songs “Wayfaring Stranger,” “Scarborough Fair,” “La Bamba,” “Midnight Special,” “Ode to Joy,” “Minuet,” “Greensleeves,” “House of the Rising Sun”. eMedia Guitar Method v6 even includes play along Jam Tracks.

Instant Feedback shows you when you play the correct notes on your guitar as you progress through an exercise, and eMedia Guitar Method v6 now features chord recognition! With a microphone connected to your computer and a guitar in your hands.

Play the notes in the exercise (or song) on any screen featuring the “ear” icon in the upper right corner and the computer will highlight the notes for you in green. You’ll discover that reading tablature and music notation is easier than you ever thought possible!

The Animated Fretboard displays fingering positions as the music plays. It allows you to see exactly how to play the song on a guitar fretboard as you hear the music. Since you can highlight and loop any section of the music (or even double-click on a single note in the music), you can use the Animated Fretboard to make difficult sections or quick changes easier to manage and learn.

The Animated Fretboard makes it simple to follow along with the lesson content. Includes option for both right- and left-handed views; and, just for fun, choose from six different fretboard skins modeled after classic guitars!

Scale Directory Fingerings, recordings and variable-speed MIDI for over 150 scales make practicing and learning new scales easy. When scales are introduced in the lesson material, they are followed by sample songs applying those scales, making the learning experience practical and fun.

Music Theory An interactive Circle of Fifths helps teach music theory and is linked to scales in the Scale Directory chapter in Intermediate Guitar Method. Intervals, chord construction, the basics of improvisation, and modes are also covered.

The Note and Finger Tracker tools make it easier to see what note you’re playing by displaying the note as music notation and on eMedia’s Animated Fretboard. You’ll be able to correct your playing quickly and learn to read music fast!

Tune your guitar quickly and easily. A precision gauge Guitar Tuner allows you to play into your computer’s microphone and tune up interactively. Reference guitar tuning notes are also included.

The Chord Dictionary includes fingering charts and recorded playback for over 1,000 guitar chords. Find new chords for songs quickly.

With a Metronome, set your tempo and practice keeping a steady beat with audio and visual indicators.

Use the Recorder to save your recordings and play back to share and compare.
