Description:

Transport to another world and learn all that's needed to play the guitar. Be able to read music, strum more than 90 chords, play simple leads, and jam along with your favorite sheet music. Guitropolis is a city that has but one purpose: to start people on the path to superstardom. Each of the 10 locations in Guitropolis contains lessons, songs, and exercises that teach how to play guitar.

Users learn about the different types of guitars, how to hold and tune a guitar, and the fundamentals of reading music. Learn to play melodies, chords, scales, and songs in a variety of styles, all at your own pace. After finishing the course part of each location, you'll have to successfully complete a puzzle or game in order to gain access to the next stop in the journey to stardom. Like the course material, the games are concealed somewhere in each location. You have to go through the course material before you're allowed to play the game and move on to the next step.

The software teaches how to read standard music notation and TAB. Songs include full accompaniments in a variety of styles with more than 60 popular songs in all. Guitropolis introduces advanced techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs. Get right to the course materials at any time by accessing the method-only version. The software includes an interactive song player that lets you see exactly how each song should be played. Use the player to adjust tempo, mix accompaniment audio, and record performances, as well.
