eMedia Guitar Master Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this beginner guitar pack because it seemed to have everything I needed to start playing. The guitar looks cool and is easy to play. It also has an amp with distortion. It also comes with a CD-ROM that teaches you how to play. It is more of a rock approach to guitar, including songs by Green Day, Nirvana and Black Sabbath. The program starts off teaching different guitar skills and then teaches a song with those skills. Then it will teach a slightly harder guitar skill and another song. It is laid out very logically. I didn't want to spend too much money because I thought guitar might be hard and I might not stick with it. The amp is fine for now but I will probably get a bigger one if I want to play with my friend who plays drums. I need to get a little better first. This is perfect first start though.
