Learn how to play classic blues songs from
the masters themselves! Blues Guitar Legends
can be enjoyed by guitar players of all skill
levels. Simplified chord versions of the songs
are ideal for beginners, while experienced players
can learn note-for-note from the full transcriptions
of both lead and rhythm parts. The animated
fretboard shows you the fingerings in real-time,
so you don't need to read music. Original recordings
and variable-speed MIDI tracks let you learn
at the tempo you choose. Looping lets you select
and repeat tricky sections of a song.
