As a member of the Music Wizard Group team, I can report that we think Guitar Hero is a great toy, and has been enormously successful at instilling in people a love for creating music. That's where we step in.
Guitar Wizard can not only teach you how to play almost any song on any guitar, it can also teach you how to read real written music. Piano Wizard, our flagship program selling since fall of 2005, has proven time and again that our Wizard technology teaches people in mere minutes to play the piano and read music. We've won several awards and acclaim for our revolutionary method, dubbed "The Teaching System of the Future" (Future Music Magazine).
Guitar Wizard's five-step method is completely scalable for any age or level of musicianship. It works on any steel-stringed guitar, yours or ours. You can choose which and how many strings you play, the tempo, the song, and any of the five steps to play in.
Want to expand your repertoire? Go onto http://www.WizardTunes.com and download some of our thousands of MIDI files to add into the game. Your choice of music is virtually limitless, making Guitar Wizard last a lifetime.
