Overview
The eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method is a comprehensive educational software suite designed to bridge the gap between basic playing and advanced mastery. Created by music professor and award-winning guitarist Kevin Garry, Ph.D., this method features over 170 step-by-step lessons that enhance both rhythm and lead guitar techniques. By centering the curriculum around playing actual songs, the program ensures that theoretical knowledge is immediately applied to practical musical results.
Students will explore a vast array of styles, including Rock, Blues, Folk, Country, and Classical. The software utilizes proprietary Interactive Feedback technology, which allows the computer to listen to your playing via a microphone and highlight correct notes in green, providing a level of real-time guidance not found in standard video tutorials. From mastering the “All Along the Watchtower” riffs to exploring the works of Beethoven, this method provides a structured path to musical fluency.
