Rock Guitar Lessons for Learning Power Chords, Guitar Riffs, Rhythm and Lead Guitar.
Charles McCrone, graduate of Guitar Institute of Technology at Musician’s Institute (the legendary training ground for many great rock guitarists), has created over 100 electric guitar lessons to provide a complete overview of rock technique and gear. Interactive Rock Guitar helps both beginner and intermediate players learn how to play electric guitar by covering rock guitar basics like power chords, bar chords (barre chords), guitar riffs, and lead guitar lessons with the blues scale. You’ll even learn about effects pedals!
eMedia Instant Feedback technology highlights correctly played notes, making learning faster and easier. The Animated Fretboard shows a real-time 3D display of guitar riffs, string bends and rock guitar tricks which otherwise are hard to see in other, simpler video guitar lessons.
Classic guitar songs by artists like The Kinks, Green Day, Blue Öyster Cult, Nirvana, and others make guitar practice fun as you master rock, punk, and metal guitar styles.
