Riff Interactive
has released a new Interactive Guitar Lesson CD-ROM from guitar
educator Michael Johnson: Alex Lifeson (Rush) Style (retail $10.95, sale $9.95).
This lesson series
explores the various stages of Alex Lifeson's guitar style with Rush. The
band started with a heavy rock Led Zeppelin influence but migrated to a
progressive rock sound with the addition of drummer Neil Peart. Rush was
able to pull off intricate progressive arrangements with only three
musicians. The guitar was key to creating the color of the band's sound
while Alex would explore combing electric & acoustic guitar, mellow
polytonal chords, powerful rock riffs and shearing guitar solos to create a
very dynamic and unique sound.
The CD-ROM features:
- Interactive tab/notation that syncs to the actual guitar audio.
- Virtual guitar neck showing the notes being played and the fingering.
- Select, loop, slow media and tab notation down to your desired speed while maintaining original pitch.
- Videos and looping jam tracks to practice with.
- Transcription of lessons where actual students interact with teacher.
