eMedia Masters of Blues Guitar

eMedia Masters of Blues Guitar teaches you how to play blues guitar with 10 original artist recordings of classic blues hits, including “Crossfire” by Stevie Ray Vaughan and “The Thrill is Gone” by B.B. King. The included blues standards help you to learn multiple blues styles – from modern blues/rock all the way to blues fingerpicking techniques rooted in Delta blues guitar. You get original artist audio recordings plus MIDI versions that isolate the guitar part you are learning, and allow you to slow the track down or speed it up. Note-for-note blues guitar TABs with notation versions allow you to learn blues guitar with complete, accurate transcriptions. Simplified chord-based versions are also included to help beginning students learn blues guitar. eMedia technologies such as the Animated Fretboard, make it easier to learn blues guitar techniques like string bending, double-stops, and slide guitar positions. Instant Feedback technology even allows you to select notes in the music, play the part on your guitar, and immediately see whether you played the notes correctly.
