Guitar Hero 2

Jamming fans prepare for Guitar Hero 2!

Due out in November this year, this is the sequel to the highly successful original, Guitar Hero.

Originally spawned in the arcades, this game features a guitar-like controller. Fret position is not imporant, but timing is, so this is actually a useful aid for a guitar novice who wants to learn how to play guitar.

The second game features a cool 2 player mode in which one person plays the lead and the other plays the bass or rythm guitar. Pretty cool, eh?

There will also be a new practice mode so if there was a particular riff that you always found very difficult, you can replay it many times over without having to go through the entire song.

I can’t wait for this title!

Fretlight Guitar

Check out this video below of the fretlight guitar.

It plays exactly like a regular electric guitar but you can learn how to play guitar with ease!

Via a USB connection to your computer, you can easily program it and the frets will light up showing you where to place your fingers - no need to take your eyes off the fretboard to look at the sheet music or tab!

Whether you want to:

• try a new scale

• learn new chords

• play your favorite riffs and songs

• step through chord progression

Then you can do it with this product.

Its a real guitar, plays like a real guitar, has a responsive neck, and can be used by beginners and intermediates alike.

Learn Guitar in only Seven Minutes!

There is a lady named Jean Welles who claims to be able to teach guitar to almost anyone in only seven minutes, yes 7 minutes to learn how to play the guitar!

A teacher for over thirty years, Welles says:

“Even if you have never picked up or played any instrument before, I can teach you the basics in just 7 minutes.

Welles has also created a series of DVD and video tutorials as another medium of teaching. These use the basis of Christian worship songs - which for many of our readers may be useful, but many may also not be interested in knowing the chords to popular religious songs and prefer to learn rock guitar riffs or similar.

Nevertheless, Jean Welles has credentials in teaching guitar including a Masters in Guitar Performance from the University of Southern California.
