Computer programs for guitar are a pretty interesting way of learning how to play the guitar considering they don't involve any human interaction. You simply install the software onto your PC, whip out your instrument, and something gives you instructions, tips, or puzzles to help you learn the skills.
But as much as these pieces of software can do for new guitarists, they can't do absolutely everything. Check out this list of guitar programs that can give you some basic help with your skills and others that probably won't help at all.
* Pitch Games Train Your Ears
These are great for just about anyone to try because most people could use a little help with their pitches. These types of products are very good for helping you to identify the difference in pitches that apply to notes and chords to improve your improvisation techniques.
* Metronomes Keep You In Time
The most helpful computer programs for guitar are simple metronomes. Yea, you can try some fancy stuff that'll twist your mind into new guitar concepts, but keeping a steady tempo must be learned. If you can get your hands on a free or cheap metronome, definitely go for it.
* Read Notes As They Appear
It's those cheesy things where musical notes fly across the screen at a certain pace and you have to click the correct letter to mark what it is. As dumb as those sound, those pieces of software are actually very effective at helping guitarists read music on a staff. It really gets your eyes used to instantaneous comprehension of notes.
Now, we've covered a few of the good computer programs for guitar. Let's take a look at the poor ones. These are things that will really waste your time and are not worth your money to get.
* Chord Chart Software
There really isn't any reason for someone to create software just to look at chords. It's like learning to drive by someone showing you pictures of people driving. If you need to learn your chords, just go purchase a chord chart on a poster or print one from the internet. Save your money people.
* Play Along With The Program
If you're going to play along with some music, there's really no need to do it with computer programs for guitar. There are tons of free sources for high-quality practice jam tracks that you can use and if you don't enjoy those, there's plenty of real music to play along with. Don't purchase software just so you can have a guitar buddy.
