eMedia Music Corp. announced the release of its new Intermediate Guitar Method CD-ROM. This is a comprehensive guitar tutorial CD-ROM for guitarists who already know the basics. With over 175 step-by-step lessons, this title makes moving beyond simple melodies and strumming easier than it ever was before. An animated fretboard shows fingering from a variety of perspectives as the music plays, MIDI tracks allow the user to slow down the music, and any section of any song can be looped for repetition and practice.

eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method teaches solos like the ones Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix made famous. Learning is made fun and easy with step-by-step audio- and video-enhanced lessons from acclaimed guitar instructor Kevin Garry, Ph.D.

In addition to guitar solos, the material covers left-hand techniques (bends, slides, vibrato etc.), barre chords, various strumming styles (rock, folk, blues, country), using scales & building chords, the basics of improvisation, fingerstyle playing techniques and much more. All throughout, the instruction is song-based, with over 50 songs, including "All Along the Watchtower," "Spoonful," and "Time in a Bottle." An innovative new scale directory allows easy and quick access to any scale an aspiring guitarist might need, presented in a variety of positions along the guitar neck. Other accessories include an automatic tuner, metronome, recorder and a chord dictionary with over 1,000 chords.

eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method is available at computer and music retail stores nationwide with an estimated retail price of $59.95. The CD-ROM is a hybrid for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
