eMedia - Interactive Rock Guitar (WINDOWS)
Rock Guitar Lessons that Teach Power Chords, Guitar Riffs, Rhythm Guitar, and Lead Guitar.
Charles McCrone, graduate of Guitar Institute of Technology at Musician's Institute (the legendary training ground for many great rock guitarists), has created over 100 electric guitar lessons to provide a complete overview of rock technique and gear. eMedia Interactive Rock Guitar helps both beginner and intermediate players learn how to play electric guitar by covering rock guitar basics like power chords, bar chords (barre chords), guitar riffs, and lead guitar lessons with the blues scale.
eMedia Instant Feedback technology highlights correctly played notes, making learning faster and easier. The Animated Fretboard shows a real-time 3D display of guitar riffs, string bends, and rock guitar tricks which are usually hard to see in other, simpler video guitar lessons. Classic guitar songs by artists like The Kinks, Green Day, Blue Öyster Cult, Nirvana, and others make guitar practice fun as you master rock, punk, and metal guitar styles.

Video Instruction
Your host Steve Rock (KISW “Metal Shop”) guides you in over 50 rock guitar lesson videos with split-screens and close-ups (as needed). Watch your instructor demonstrate proper techniques for playing exercises. You can pause, rewind, and replay to see proper bass guitar fingerings and techniques at your own pace, as often as needed.
Get Instant Feedback on melodies you play on your guitar as you progress through an exercise. 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 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.
The Finger Tracker tool makes it easier to see what note you’re playing by displaying the note on eMedia’s Animated Fretboard. You’ll be able to correct your playing quickly!Playing exercises and riffs is more fun than ever with over 40 jam tracks. There are “Slow” and “Fast” versions, as well as “Full” and “Rhythm Only” versions. Even long after you’ve finished the coursework, you can come back and enjoy practicing your guitar technique over the jam tracks
.
Music Tracking highlights the music and lyrics as they’re heard, making it easy to follow along on guitar.You get both multitrack audio and variable-speed MIDI tracks, including No Voice audio options, so you can perfect your guitar technique and play along with the band. With MIDI tracks, slow down the music to any tempo, while the Animated Fretboard shows song fingerings as the music plays. Learn at the pace best suited to you!
