This program aims to help you study guitar without a teacher. The installation is fast, and Play Guitar launches on the desktop in seconds. The program comes in the form of an HTML-based tutorial with graphics and MIDI files. It has approximately 50 lessons that lead you through the journey to becoming a guitar player, improving your skills. MIDI files perfectly support the detailed text explanations, though the trial version does not include all files available in the registered version. However, the program's output is good, and a student will probably be able to play basic riffs after thoroughly studying the program. Video samples demonstrating how to strum guitar strings, for example, could improve Play Guitar. Still, people who want to learn guitar can benefit from this download.

An easy-to-use, step-by-step, guide for amatuer guitarists. Although more resourses and compositions in the program might be an added bonus.
