eMedia My Electric Guitar, Win/Mac CD-ROM

Now kids can learn how to play electric guitar the fun and easy way. The eMedia My Electric Guitar features Rocky the Guitar, an animated character who leads children through a selection of beginner guitar lessons for kids designed by Charles McCrone, a graduate of the renowned Guitar Institute of Technology at Musician's Institute. Over 60 guitar lessons cover power chords, riffs, how to read guitar TABs and more. Kids even get a taste of simple lead guitar as they learn how to play the blues scale.

eMedia's Animated Fretboard shows children where to place their fingers, so they learn faster. These are not dry, beginner lessons, but are designed to keep children engaged in learning. A variety of interactive music games for kids are included, including some that teach them how to play power chords.

Research proves that children who play music excel in their schoolwork and social interactions. Learning how to play an instrument such as guitar helps kids develop creativity and self-discipline for good study habits. Plus it increases self-confidence, so they make friends more easily.
