Online Guitar Lessons

If you are thinking of learning to play guitar, you may want to take a serious look at the Self-Teaching electronic guitar from Pacific Digital. Anyone of any age, can learn chords and strumming by following lights. Some features include a selection of built-in songs and riffs for you to play along with and you can download more songs from your computer into the guitar.

You can also program your own material. I can now program a song in about 25 mins that used to take 4 hours. My music has a better “feel” thanks to the velocity perceptive “strings.” I actually feel like the MIDI grid assisted me greatly when it was time to switch over to real guitar. It’s a little flimsy feeling though, but for the price, it isn’t a dealbreaker.

In addition to 9 realistic guitar sounds, Pacific Digital includes 8 bass guitar sounds, banjo, the Japanese shamisen and koto, and a grand piano. It comes with a built-in speaker and headphone jack that can be connected to an amplifier. An LED complex gives visual feedback as you play. There are volume, tempo, balance and capo controls as well. These cutting edge features help overcome many of the objections of beginner guitar players

I bought this to control my midi synthesis and I adore it. I don’t care about it’s internal sounds so much but they are still helpful. Using this with Sonar or Reason, I can create the sounds with my MIDI devices.

The strings have excellent sensitivity, and the button-style fret board isn’t as bothersome as I thought it might be. You can turn off the internal speaker simply and as I mentioned above, you can just insert the MIDI inputs right into the computer.
