Guitropolis is a place that has but one purpose: to start people like you on the path to superstardom!
But how does a city teach someone to play guitar?
It's simple.
Guitropolis is made up of 10 unique locations, each with its own environment for you to explore and inhabitants for you to interact with.
The ten locations also contain lessons, songs and exercises that teach you how to play guitar. The trick is that the course material is hidden somewhere in each location. In order to find it, you'll have to figure out
which locations to visit first. Once you do, you'll need to examine
everything and everybody in each location in order to find the course material
for that location.
However, the citizens of Guitropolis won't let just anyone progress through their city; you've got to be a legitimate guitarist-in-the-making.
To ensure that you actually learn the material before progressing to the next location, they've devised a series of pleasantly puzzling games. After you've finished each chapter, you'll have to successfully complete the game in order to gain access to the next location in your journey.
Like the course chapters, the games are concealed somewhere in each location. Once you've completed a location, you can always go back to it later for review or reference.
At the heart of Guitropolis lies the most comprehensive multimedia guitar course ever devised for beginners.
Starting with the basics, the ten chapters (one for each location) teaches you everything you need to know to start playing the guitar, and includes several songs for each of the lessons (over 60 songs in all).
Highlights include:
- For Electric and Acoustic Guitars...no special equipment or connections required!
- Based on Alfred's Basic Guitar Method, which, with over 3 million copies sold, is one of the most popular guitar methods of all time!!!
- Teaches note-reading in standard notation and TAB
- Covers a variety of styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, and Country
- A powerful Song Player that shows you how to play each song as you play it AND allows you to control the volume of the accompaniment and guitar parts independently.
- Access the course while playing Guitropolis, or use the Method-Only Version of the course for easy access and review.
