It's an interesting idea. If it were an easy to use plug-in, I'd use it occasionally. But only if I thought it was the best way to convey something. But not as a singular interface. Yuk!

Members Stan31 Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Guitar teacher is there to do four things : 1) Tell student what to do :poke: 2) Explain WHY 3) Show him/her how 4) Make sure the student is doing it right If I understood what the site is saying in regards to the interface - is that it will allow the teacher to do #1, to some extent #3 and to no extent #2 and #4. In the age when there are excellent guitar teachers offering webcam lessons where they accomplish all 4 points 100%? "C-" at best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitar_face Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I hate the program itself; not very convenient. Also the fact that there isn't a proper 'grid' for the tablature makes it just makes it very sloppy at times, and that's both annoying and confusing. However some good songs on the site, for example this Simpsons theme transcription for guitar http://www.lickbyneck.com/SoloGuitar-Fatt-Pop02.html (scroll down to find it). On that note the site is also needs a bit of work as finding anything on it is difficult. Interesting place to learn songs; don't know if it has any value as a teaching tool. Awesome of the guy to offer it up for free though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steadfastly Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 I tried to think of another word besides stupid but perhaps there may be a few people that would find it useful. There are so many better ways that I think most would find it stupid or at least less than useful compared to other tried and true teaching methods.

Members Virgman Posted October 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ok, my opinion. The pro:I checked out some of the songs and they are pretty good. The player works good. You could definitely learn a bunch of songs to play at a wedding or something. It's free. If you like fingerstyle it's ideal. There are a bunch of lessons on many other things too. the ConIf you just learned the tabs you wouldn't really understand anything about music or theory. In other words, you could become really good at doing it, but not know what you're doing. But at least you could make music. In sum, it's still pretty good. I give the author high marks. He's put a lot of effort into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 the method used by this site to teach guitar? Well, I see this site as repertoire storage, definitely not as teaching tool. I go here regulary and pick one or two idees for my own arrangments or nice chordal textures for my group efforts. The grading is very accurate and the advanced stuff is really advanced. I found this page for Ted Greene and turned out a goldmine for several other reasons.
