by marcatline6 on February 7, 2010

Nine Genre-Based Programs Teach Music Theory, Guitar Technique, Songs & More!

Line 6, Inc., the industry leader in digital modeling technology for music-creation products, recently announced the addition of an online Learning Center to GuitarPort® Online, the company’s popular online guitar instruction service.

“The Learning Center gives subscribers a focused and user-friendly path to realizing their guitar-playing goals,” remarks GuitarPort Online manager Marc Block. “Guitar players now have a place to go that offers guitar instruction catered to their specific interests, and integrates music theory and application, technique lessons, guitar effects lessons, and song lessons.”

The Learning Center on GuitarPort Online offers subscribers nine genre-based programs: Blues, Classic Rock, Country, Jazz/Bebop, Metal, Modern Rock, Progressive/Instrumental, 50’s Rock/Surf/Rockabilly, and 80’s Rock. Each genre includes both lessons and songs grouped together by beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels.

GuitarPort Online offers all guitar players everything they need to learn, practice and jam. The service has three main features: over 1000 song tabs and lessons, with more added weekly; professionally produced songs (available with and without guitar parts) for players to jam with; and dialed-in Line 6 guitar tones that match each song (via a Line 6 USB interface).

Guitar players who don’t currently own a Line 6 USB interface can purchase a bundle, which includes a Line 6 TonePort® DI and three months of unlimited access to the service, for $29.95. More information about the bundle can be found at guitarport.com/bundle.

Sounds like it could be a good thing. It’s one thing to get the best amp in the world- but an entirely other thing to play it well. There’s no substitute for skill and practice. I hope they do a good job of this project.

Hi ,
Repairing amps and organs was always special.
Had to learn a few things on playing both, but neve much beyond that.
Elmers tune for the organ and a riff for the guiter. Was fun though
Wasn’t aware how varied they were, when looking to buy guitar strings. Even in looking through the Amazon listings, it was enough to totally loose me. Wound up with one of the kids giving me an extra set they had. Then the tuning was another relearn process. From years back, and even now, seems my fingers just don’t toughen up.
Anyway, did blog the full experience, and even tossed in how ones life experiences parallel the guitars life.
Be Well
