Features
New Instant Feedback on Your Playing!
Instant Feedback on melodies you play on your guitar as you progress through an exercise. With a microphone connected to your computer and a guitar in your hands, play the notes in the exercise (or song) on any screen featuring the “ear“ icon in the upper right corner and the computer will highlight the notes for you in green. As you reach your goals of getting all notes to change color in each exercise, you’ll discover that reading tablature is easier than you ever thought possible!
New Finger Tracker!
The Finger Tracker tools help you see more easily what note you’re playing by displaying the note on an animated fretboard. You’ll be able to correct your playing quickly and learn to read music fast!
New Jam Tracks!
Playing exercises and riffs is more fun than ever with over 40 jam tracks. There are "Slow" and "Fast" versions, as well as "Full" and "Rhythm Only" versions. Even long after you’ve finished the coursework, you can come back and enjoy practicing your guitar technique over the jam tracks.
