Those guitar-simulation video games might be fun, but they don't teach you how to truly play the instrument — and that's what you really want. Maybe you just never found the time, or perhaps you didn't know how easy it is to learn. Now, the For Dummies franchise walks you through everything you need to know about the guitar — from stringing your instrument to shredding like the rock stars. Hang up the air guitar and learn how to play the real thing with easy, step-by-step lessons. String up your axe and get ready to play like the pros with Guitar For Dummies Deluxe. The two-disc set features Level 1 and 2 discs, and includes more than 180 step-by-step, video-enhanced lessons that take you from the basics, such as stringing your guitar, to playing chords, reading musical notation, fingerpicking and more. Learn about the guitar and how to hold your instrument. Serenade your audience with Arpeggio and Travis fingerpicking. Gain an understanding about movable power chords and modern rock strumming. With in-depth lessons from professional guitarist Kevin Garry, Ph. D., from the University of Colorado at Boulder, you'll be learning how to play like your idols in no time at all. The software includes an automatic tuner, metronome, digital recorder and a chord dictionary, so you can get your rhythm, technique and sound down before you start mastering your favorites. Take a look at the Finger Tracker to see what note you're playing, and watch where you should be placing your fingers as the animated fretboard shows you the finger positions as the music plays. Learn the material quickly as Instant Feedback listens to your playing and highlights the correct notes in melodies onscreen. With some determination, hard work and a little practice, Guitar For Dummies will have you playing more than 80 hit songs, including "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," "Little Red Rooster," "Scarborough Fair" and much more. No more excuses. Tune your instrument and start playing like you've always wanted.

What's great about it: easy to understand and perform excersizes
What's not so great: very sensitive tuner
I bought this for my 16 year old son. He's doing great with the program. It really explains things well. However the tuning app is very sensitive. It requires absolute silence to get an accurate reading. Over all. I recommend this program for beginers
I would recommend this to a friend!
