When I find the emedia blues, I'm going to have that as well.

I have a review of emedia on GN, which gives some more detail on what you can expect.

I may have misunderstood, but I thought intermediate was the replacement for emedia 2. So the features that had been built into the new emedia 1 (interactive fretboard, etc.) found their way into the next level.

What I liked was the breaking down into very small steps - one lesson is hammer-on - and for each lesson you have examples and pieces of music that it fits into. At the end of each chapter (=several lessons), you get references (on OLGA) to music (real tunes!) that match the type of stuff you've learnt and the level that you have reached.

My advice is to look for one on ebay and save the $30 towards something else.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54368 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54367 Thu, 01 Jan 2004 06:09:24 +0000 Thanx Nick,

Although I personally consider personal guitar lessons and home instructional material two different things, I appreciate your honest two lincolns.  :)]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54367 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54366 Wed, 31 Dec 2003 23:14:37 +0000
I pay $28 for a 45 minute guitar lesson.

They are both worth way more than two lessons.

It's hard to say that intermediate will rock your world, but if you liked one, I think you will like two.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54366 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54365 Wed, 31 Dec 2003 21:24:41 +0000
Can I get your honest opinion, from a buyers point of view, about the method 2. Because everyone at amazon pretty much said exactly what you said about the emedia series, but condemned the method 2. They were extremely happy with method 1 and the Intermediate, but had an awful taste of method 2. I'm the kind of person that's happy when I learn one or two things from a 19.99 book, but 50 to 60 bucks, I expect much more and would rather learn it along the way. I don't think it's fair for loyal people of a series to get jipped in the second one. And leading people in the right way will only solidify good will and stature. :)]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54365 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54364 Wed, 31 Dec 2003 05:03:46 +0000
Whatever the reviews on Amazon - and I started out with a very negative attitude to what I received - the package does achieve it's goal IMHO simply by breaking everything down into tiny bite sized chunks. You don't have to learn much to achieve success - maybe a hammer-on or pull-off - but you do achieve success and you do move on to the next stage, without having your ego dented by huge leaps into uncharted territory.

You do improve and you do learn, so in my book they did what they set out to do, more you can't ask.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54364 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54363 Wed, 31 Dec 2003 04:38:55 +0000 Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54363 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54362 Mon, 13 Oct 2003 21:26:20 +0000
I have the demo for eMedia 1 -  and the full eMedia 2

Here: https://www.guitarnoise.com/review/emedia/ is my review of eMedia.

What I like about the whole series is that each stage is taken in very small steps. Each one is a "success" and there are plenty of them.

I suggest that you read my review and, if you have any questions IM me]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54362 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54361 Sat, 04 Oct 2003 00:10:51 +0000 Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows P0RR https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-54361 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-1188 Tue, 24 Jun 2003 17:31:57 +0000 As soon as I have had a chance to check it out, I will post a much more detailed critique.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/emedia-guitar-method-2/#post-1188
