Overview

A truly fun way to develop your guitar skills!

At the heart of the Guitropolis CD-Rom lies the most comprehensive multimedia guitar course ever devised for beginners who are into gaming. Starting with the basics, the ten chapters (one for each location) teach you everything you need to know to start playing the guitar, and include several songs for each of the lessons (over 60 songs in all). And they're all designed around a cool fantasy that will be as appealing to gamers as it is to aspiring guitarists. For electric and acoustic guitars. No special equipment or connections are required!

Features

Based on Alfred's Basic Guitar Method which, with over 3 million copies sold, is one of the most popular guitar methods of all time!

Teaches note reading in standard notation and tablature

Covers a variety of styles including rock, blues, jazz, and country

A powerful Song Player shows you how to play each song as you play it AND allows you to control the volume of the accompaniment and guitar parts independently.

Access the course while playing Guitropolis, or use the Method-Only Version of the course for easy access and review.
