Overview

Research has proven that children who play an instrument do better in school, make friends more easily, are more creative, learn self-discipline and gain self-confidence. In eMedia My Electric Guitar, an animated character named Rocky the Guitar leads kids through lessons by Charles McCrone, graduate of the cutting-edge GIT and professional guitar instructor. Rocky is voiced by Steve Rock, host of KISW’s radio show "Metal Shop". My Electric Guitar covers the basics, such as tuning your guitar and learning about your gear, and moves on to reading music, playing songs, and much more. An animated fretboard shows you where to put your fingers as the live recorded audio plays. With MIDI tracks, the speed of the music can be adjusted so you can learn at your own pace. Special features such as an automatic tuner, metronome, chord dictionary, and digital recorder are all included. My Electric Guitar is the perfect way to introduce children to playing the electric guitar!

Ages 9 and up.
