Guitar Guru is a guitar performance simulation program that provides you with the most intuitive way to learn your favorite songs. Using a unique approach that doesn’t rely on standard music notation or traditional guitar tablature, Guitar Guru plays the original music and shows both the left and right hand movements on a realistic guitar simultaneously. Guitar Guru accommodates all music genres and skill levels. The music is sold separately, allowing you the flexibility to purchase only the titles you are interested in.
Songs are precisely synchronized with the original recordings. You can insert your own CDs and Guitar Guru will find the appropriate tracks and play them in sync with the visual notation. The option to play computer generated (MIDI) audio is also included, where guitar techniques such as bends, slides, vibratos and tremolos are accurately reproduced. In addition to the common CD player functions such as Play, Pause, Stop, and Repeat, options are included to adjust the playback speed, set specific start/stop points, loop continuously, and jump to specific passages such as choruses and solos.
Here’s what’s new in this version of Guitar Guru 2.1:

WMA music file support. In addition to MIDI and CDs, you can now play your WMA audio files with Guitar Guru Sessions!
