I am indeed a sucker for new technology. I posted a couple of weeks ago about eMedia’s Version 5 of their guitar lesson software. I found a full review today that I thought would be interesting to those of you who like to use their computer for learning guitar.
Personally I’m a bigger fan of using videos and dvd’s but I know there are some hard core PC and Mac users.
A quick overview. Emedia of course has been selling this software for several years now. The big feature I blogged about a few days ago was the recognition feature that recognizes whether you’re playing things correctly via a microphone that is connected to your computer and used as an input device for your machine.
I’ve come across a few hard core CAGED guitar system enthusiasts that feel this software should use this system to teach but I don’t believe they are.
There are more note and finger tracking tools in this version of their program then ever before and they’ve also added more songs to the already massive library of tunes the program teaches.
If you’re into using your computer for music lessons or have owned a version of Emedia before check out the full post now.
