Each lesson includes a written introduction, printable chord charts and video. Each disc has six songs, using the original recordings. The guitar parts are broken into arrangements of varying difficulty, which gives insight into how Clapton, for example, weaves lines to great effect on Wonderful Tonight . Students also can hear the song in MIDI format, which lets them adjust the tempo. Exercises from beginner to expert offer enough material to keep guitarists busy for months.
Lessons concentrate on simple chords and strumming techniques, music notation and finger picking.
Particularly good is a tutorial on guitar maintenance. The lessons include about 100 songs and exercises with chord diagrams and audio and video of teacher Kevin Garry. For intermediate players, eMedia also makes Guitar Method 2 and Guitar Songs Vol.
