Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid Curriculum
Review: I've palyed guitar for many years and I can well appreciate the time, effort and creativity that has gone into such a product. I am impressed with its content, particularly the progression. It is very clear and well thought out! Give us more of the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get's you playing fast!
Review: I've really struggled with guitar books for many months now but I got this CD-ROM for X-mass and I've really made a lot of progress. Having an instructor on call to see first hand how to play a chord or strum is such a plus. You can slow all the songs down to whatever speed you need them, which is also handy. I'll definitely move on to the next level.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well worth the price
Review: If you want to learn to play the guitar, get this course. Before using this course I had never even picked up a guitar. In a month, I was playing. Here it is 6 month later and I'm playing well enough to play with just about anybody. The course layout is logical and makes learning something you can't help but do.

Chords are introduced one or two at a time and each lesson builds on previous lessons so that what you learned early on in the course remains fresh in your mind. Couple that with the video of the author demonstrating various techniques, animated fretboard, chord finder (with a diagram and audio of the chord) and metronome and you have a great course that makes learning to play the guitar very easy. As with any learning tool, you have to want to learn and you have to practice. But, this course is a great tool to get you to playing a guitar.

Summary: If you just want to learn to play songs quickly
Review: If your looking to learn the guitar, and acquire skills where you can play it with some degree of proficency, I would suggest you also look at GuitarCoach. I purchased both eMedia as well as Guitar Coach, and now find myself learning primarily from Guitar Coach. Its very well structured for learning where you acquire real skills in a very interactive way. Guitar Method, on the other hand is designed more for those just want to play songs quickly (like I once did), but skips on teaching you the fundamental skills that you will soon be handicaped without.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very useful and eMedia will exchange.
Review: In response to a previous review, eMedia will take back their products. I got Guitar Method 2 from a store and it was a little too difficult because I've only been playing for about 2 months. eMedia was very nice and exchanged it for Guitar Method 1. Make sure you do it in 30 days. The program is very helpful and my progress has rapidly accelerated. I'll probably end up getting the second level after all. I also really like Zen and the Art of Guitar for a little inspiration.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I never thought I could learn this fast.
Review: This is the greatest lesson program there is. I have tried books people showing me how to play and this is just hands down the best way to learn. I have been playing for about two weeks now and can only say you would think I had been playing for a few months. No kidding it is that good. I would recomend this to anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar.

Summary: Useless & Unreturnable
Review: Tried this on Macs with system 9.2 & X.

Functions will not performs as described and are very awkward at best.

I would be willing to bet that Mr. Frampton did not learn the guitar using this DVD.
