Over 90 Step-by-Step LessonsThe lessons in Level 2 will take you through reading music notation, playing melodies, fingerpicking, and different styles of play, including rock, blues, folk, and country.
Instant Feedback on Your PlayingInstant Feedback shows you when you play the correct notes on your guitar as you progress through an exercise. With a microphone connected to your computer and a guitar in your hands, play the notes in the exercise (or song) on any screen featuring the “ear” icon in the upper right corner, and the computer will highlight the notes for you in green. As you reach your goals of getting all notes to change color in each exercise, you’ll discover that reading tablature and music notation is easier than you ever thought possible!
Note and Finger TrackerThe Note Tracker and Finger Tracker tools help you see more easily what note you’re playing by displaying the note as music notation and on an animated fretboard. You’ll be able to correct your playing quickly and learn to read music fast!
Interactive Flash Card QuizzesAfter you’ve been prepped with exercises designed to teach you to read tablature and notation, try the interactive flash card quizzes to reinforce what you have learned. Flash Quizzes utilize our Pitch Tracking technology to detect notes played on your acoustic guitar!
Animated Fretboard (with six different skins!)Displays fingering positions as the music plays. It allows you to see exactly how to play the song on a guitar fretboard as you hear the music. Music tracking highlights the notes being played on the screen, making it simple to follow along. Includes options for both right- and left-handed views. Fretboard skins are designed in the style of Rickenbacker, Strat, Gretsch, ’59 Les Paul, and more!

eMedia Guitar For Dummies Level 2 is downloadable Mac guitar-learning software with over 90 step-by-step lessons, playing feedback, videos, and practice tools; it suits learners ready to build skills in notation, melodies, fingerpicking, and rock, blues, folk, or country styles.
Recommended For
- Guitarists who already know basic chords and strumming and want a structured next step in melodies, fingerpicking, and reading tabs or standard notation.
- Self-directed learners who want to practice at their own pace, using slowed-down playback, an animated fretboard, and step-by-step lessons across rock, blues, folk, and country.
- Players learning songs and technique on acoustic or electric guitar who want on-screen note feedback and demonstrations they can follow during practice.
- Learners who want to build music-reading skills alongside playing, with lessons and exercises covering both tablature and standard notation.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- After learning basic chords and strumming, a player uses Level 2 to practice melodies and new guitar techniques; the lessons provide a structured next step beyond beginner material.
- A player who knows songs by ear but is new to written music follows a lesson using tablature or standard notation; the visual fretboard and note displays help connect the written notes to guitar positions.
- When practicing a song passage that feels too fast, a learner slows the playback and follows the highlighted music and fretboard; this makes it easier to work through the part at a manageable tempo.
- A guitarist wanting to move beyond strumming practices fingerpicking and styles such as rock, blues, folk, or country through guided lessons and demonstrations.
- During a solo practice session, a learner works on timing with the metronome, then records and replays their playing to review how the exercise sounds.
- A player reviewing chord shapes consults the chord dictionary for fingering charts and sound examples, then uses the lesson exercises to practice applying the shapes.
