Review

This review applies to version 2.2 The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

We can say that Guitar Guru is a guitar virtual professor, which not only is available every time you need him, but also can help you to learn how to play the songs you like the most.

With this software, you’ll be able to learn to play guitar “playing” due to its totally visual teaching method, without staffs and other things that maybe you don’t want to deal with. The process is simple. It’ll show you where to put each finger and on which string to play the melody you want to learn. You just have to sit down in front of your computer with your guitar and imitate what you see on the screen. A colors and numbers code is used to indicate the position of the fingers. This code you can customize to your needs and likes.

You’ll have plenty of time to explore it yourself, but we list some of its main features for you to know it a little before you install it:

Variety of music to learn:
Besides the included song list in Guitar Guru, you will be able to add your own CDs or even select .wma files from your computer with the songs you want to learn to play.

Commands to manage the lesson:
- Customizable code for indication of the fingers.
- Enlarged guitar visualization.
- Continuous playing.
- Volume and tempo control.
- Use of metronome.
- Selection of fragments of songs.
- Delay control for lesson start.
- Voice command options, to control the lesson without taking your hands off the guitar.
- Notation legend: shows all of the symbols for the fret-hand and pick hand. Only click on the symbols to learn more.

Customization:
- Selection of instrument type.
- Use of guitar for left-handed players.
- Tone selection (acoustic, electric, bass, other).

This software is freeware, lightweight and runs on Win98/98SE/Me/2000/XP.
