The eMedia Rock Guitar Collection is a collection of rock guitar instruction software that provides everything you need to learn rock guitar and to play note-for-note cover versions of famous rock guitar songs. It includes both eMedia Interactive Rock Guitar, the highly acclaimed software that teaches beginners and others how to play rock guitar, and eMedia Masters of Rock Guitar, which dives deep into classic rock guitar songs and styles to help you refine your rock guitar technique. Plus, you get a copy of the eMedia Essential Rock Guitar interactive DVD for those times when someone else is on the computer, but you still want to hone your rock licks and jam with some tracks.
Charles McCrone, graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology (the legendary rock guitar school), has crafted over 100 rock guitar lessons to provide a great overview of rock technique and gear. eMedia Interactive Rock Guitar helps both beginner and intermediate players learn how to master rock guitar basics like power chords, bar chords (barre chords), rock guitar licks, and how to play lead guitar using the blues scale. This extensive set of rock guitar lessons also teaches you how to read guitar tabs (tablature) and play songs. Start with easy rock guitar songs and progress to more difficult songs as you develop your rock guitar skills. It even includes an overview of guitar effects pedals (distortions, delays, etc.)!
eMedia music technologies such as the Animated Fretboard, Interactive Feedback, and Performance Evaluation make learning easier. Instant Feedback highlights correctly played notes making learning faster and easier. The Animated Fretboard shows guitar riffs, string bends, and rock guitar tricks in real-time on a guitar fretboard. Songs and excercises can also be slowed down and looped in order to make learning difficult parts easier.
Master classic rock guitar songs made famous by Clapton, Hendrix, The Kinks, Green Day, Blue Ã?yster Cult, Nirvana, The Who, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and others. These songs make practice fun as you learn how to play rock, punk, and metal guitar styles.
