Riff Interactive, a developer of interactive guitar lesson CD-ROMs, has released a new Interactive Guitar Lesson CD-ROM products from guitar educator Michael Johnson.

Brian May (Queen) Style (retail $10.95, sale $9.95) teaches licks, tricks, and techniques as well as equipment background to help you recreate Brian May's style. Brian introduced many studio and effect techniques to create one of the most distinctive guitar sounds in rock. Most of his licks are easy to play, however it's how you layer the guitar parts over the other tracks that creates his guitar orchestra sound. In this lesson you'll learn how to create guitar harmonies while playing over the multi-layered jam tracks.

His credentials and experience are diverse and impressive, playing guitar since the age of 6 and teaching for over 25 years, Michael is the '92 & '93 winner of the KISW "Best Guitarist in Seattle" and author, editor and web developer for Experience Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix estate).
