Description

Learn how to play classic blues songs from the masters themselves with eMedia's Blues Guitar Legends. Simplified chord versions of the songs are ideal for beginners, while experienced players can learn note for note from the full transcriptions of both lead and rhythm parts. The animated fretboard shows you the fingerings in real time, so that you don't need to read music. Original recordings and variable-speed MIDI tracks let you learn at the tempo that you choose, while looping lets you select and repeat tricky sections of a song. The software package comes with 10 original artist recordings, including "Statesboro Blues," performed by the Allman Brothers Band; "Smoking Gun," performed by Robert Cray; "Early in the Morning," performed by Buddy Guy, with Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton; and "The Thrill Is Gone," performed by B.B. King. Full and simplified versions of each song help you to learn to play the song note for note. Instructional material presents the chords and playing tips that are needed to master the song, and helps you emulate the tone and technique of the blues guitar greats. Watch the fretboard come alive with the Animated Fretboard, a real-time display of notes, including bends, vibrato, and slides. This includes both right- and left-handed views from the perspectives of looking both down at your guitar and across at an instructor's guitar. Visually tune your electric or acoustic guitar by playing into a computer microphone. This automatic tuner also includes custom tunings for specific songs, when needed, and provides audio reference notes for each string. A metronome allows you to set your own tempo and work on your picking speed, rhythm, and timing. It provides a visual cue and/or audio tick, and a full range of tempi--from largo to presto. One of the more useful features of Blues Guitar Legends is the Recorder, which lets you record and play back your recording, and allows you to compare your recordings with the originals, fine-tune your skills, and
