 Nice starter guitar kit November 16, 2009

I've always wanted to learn guitar and picked this package up because my friend really liked Emedia Guitar Method. This pack is a really good deal because it includes guitar method, a good guitar and other stuff you will need.
The guitar is pretty good for the price. I'm still learning but it is easy to play and sounds good.
The guitar method is very easy to follow along with. It starts with easy to play chords, so you are playing songs right away. On the CD is a tuner, so you can tune your guitar. The program also teaches you how to tune by ear. I've been really into it, so I'm pretty far into the lessons and am starting to learn a Stones song. As I'm getting into harder stuff, they have some great tools to help you learn. You can slow the songs down and take certain parts you are working on and create a loop to practice that part over and over until you get it.
If you are just starting out and don't have a big budget, this is a great deal.

This was a gift for my son and I thought it sounded good, though it was a bit hard to tell from the online images what it would look and feel like. We are impressed on both counts. It's a nice set, with everything you need for basic lessons and protection of the instrument, and my son is really enjoying it.
Great product! January 18, 2010

I got this for my son for Christmas. I didn't want to spend too much, as you never know what kids will stick with. I play and didn't want him banging on my Taylor. When he opened in on Christmas it was a favorite. I play, so I tried out the guitar and it played fine and stayed in tune. I read through some of the other reviews and wonder if people aren't being overly critical considering this is a beginner guitar under $100. Granted, it isn't a great guitar but fine for someone starting out. Most of us start out on something basic and move one once we get the passion.
The software is what makes this pack stand out. We have been going through it together and I am quite impressed with the quality of the lessons. My parent put me in 6 years of private lessons at $30 an hour. The software included is a great start at guitar.
 eMedia may make good software, but the guitar is lacking January 5, 2010

I had wanted to learn to play the guitar after many failed attempts over the years. This came up as a gold box deal, so I thought what the heck and ordered it, as I had seen many positive reviews of the eMedia software. I received the package and it was *very* light. I opened it up and laughed as it looked like a kids toy. I decided that I better not waste my money and returned this kit and to go ahead and invest in a decent starter instrument (I bought a Seagull Coastline S6 Burst GT Guitar). I may go ahead and buy the standalone eMedia Guitar Method disc, but for now, I'm doing fine with the free lessons [...]
