    Good Points: Animated fretboard, chord dictionary, electronic metronome, electronic tuner, recording/playback capability. It'll get your feet wet if nothing else.


    Bad Points: Lots of holes in the information that you will probably still seek through Google or other search engine to connect some of the dots when you realize the holes. Also, the pace of most of the songs are not for the beginner (to play along at least). Of course you can play the chords and execute the chord transitions without the play along, but I ended up going to a music/book store and finding some good books with limited chord usage and songs that interested me (motivation). If you want to skip to skill sections that you want to learn, you will be at the disadvantage of having not learned chords presented in previous lessons, which every lesson builds upon. 75% of the program is the introduction of new chords in each successive lesson, working up to a song at the end of each lesson. When I finally got to power chords and reading notation for instance, it was months after purchase in my case. I was like, "gee I didn't know this was in here!" I had already gotten those tricks off of the web. There are many finger exercises, warm up exercises, scales, fretboard memorization techniques, etc. that never get mentioned. But, I guess maybe that is what they sell in volume 2.


    General comments: Mostly covered above. I would still recommend to absolute beginners with this one qualifier: be prepared to supplement your learning through other sources. I've purchased many books and viewed many online resources; none of them have been all inclusive with information. I need them all, and I know where the information is between them. If I don't have what I'm looking for, I hit the internet. When I'm ready to get back on some more structured path, I continue with the lessons in the program.

    True story: when I started getting the music books and actually applying learned chords to familiar tunes, my family would come into my office one at a time and say "how did you get so good all of a sudden?" So, I guess everything played a role in my progress, including this program.
