eMedia's Guitar For Dummies Level 2 is for those who already know the basics of guitar playing and want to expand their musical horizons. If you already know some chords, take advantage of the 90 lessons lessons on this disc and advance to musical notation, melody, and even more sophisticated techniques such as fingerpicking. In addition, you'll learn about rock, blues, folk and country styles. The Instant Feedback feature lets you know when you're right on or making a mistake.
The program also includes quick quizzes to test what you've learned. The fretboard, which can be viewed in various guitar formats (Rickenbacker, Les Paul, etc.) is animated so you can actually see how the notes and chords should be played. Speed up or slow down using the MIDI tracks so you can learn at your own pace. You'll also find a chord dictionary, auto timer, metronome for learning rhythm and a digital recorder that will permit you to record what you've played and listen to a playback. There is even an automatic guitar tuner that lets you know when you're strings are out of tune or on key.
