eMedia Music Corp. has released eMedia Masters of Blues Guitar, a solution for learning how to play classic blues songs from the masters themselves.

eMedia Masters of Blues Guitar includes original recordings by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Jonny Lang and others. Music notation is highlighted as the song plays, while the Animated Fretboard displays fingerings in real-time, so that you don’t even have to read music.

The Interactive Feedback and Performance Evaluation features show you are playing the correct notes on the guitar, and give specific feedback on mistakes in melodies as well as an overall score. The software is designed for a variety of skill levels.

eMedia Masters of Blues Guitar will be released this month and will be available in stores nationwide (the U.S.) and online at an estimated retail price of US$29.95. The CD-ROM will be a hybrid for both Mac and Windows platforms, and the software will also be available for download at eMediaMusic.com and through select online retailers.
