eMedia My Guitar Kit Review

This kit, I bought as a Christmas gift to the family. The younger kids can't seem to get enough of it. I should have got two of these so there would be enough to go around. My older daughter has her own guitar and has been using this program in conjuction with the one that came with hers. I love how it's so kid freindly and shows every step how to play the guitar well. It's so easy for the kids to follow (even me) and they have so much fun doing it. I do have to re-tune it with every use, but I'm told by my guitar playing nephew that that's typical of nylon string guitars (half of the strings on this one are nylon strings, the other half are steel), but should get better with use. This one gets an A+ from me.
