Summary: If you are looking for a Guitar yes and no...
Comment: As long as you know what you want and that is a regular guitar buy one... This is a whole lot of fun and can do things no other guitars offer... It is fun exploring all the things it can do... It has a built in synthesiser sometimes it is hard to hear a guitar in it's built in songs... I plan to get the MIDI-USB converter soon so the jury is still out on downloading more songs... The EZ-AG is the Accoustic version where as the EZ-EG is the electric version... My big rub is during playback some of the strings are in-active so if you want to add to a built in song you can't... Another problem is some of the lights that indicate the cords played are impossible to get your fingers to play them... If you want a serious guitar buy one... If you want an electronic sythesiser that you can have a lot of fun and make music that is unique to this instrument buy it... You can really create music that you like... If you are making a living playing music stick to conventional instruments... If you want a portable instrument that makes you happy here it is... I don't think this will teach anyone how to play the guitar... The long and short of it is it makes me smile...

Summary: Fun Instrument, EZ to Use BUT a couple of things...
Comment: I got this "Guitar" a few months ago, and I must say it is a fun thing to have around the house. I am a keyboard player by nature and have always wanted to learn guitar so this seemed like a decent starting point. It has many sounds, but the only listenable one for me is the first preset, the acoustic guitar, which is very nice, sounds quite real. Playing along with the preprogrammed songs is also a fun way to learn. You can change the tempo to slow it down if it is too fast for you to keep up with. Strumming is decent, but when changing chords it can sound choppy since you are releasing little buttons and not real strings, but again it's not a real guitar...so I can live with that. The best part is the frets light up as the chords of the song go by so you can see where to put your fingers without looking in a chord book or on a bar chart. I wish you could manually "punch in" the type of chord you wanted to learn ie; C# Major Seven and have it light up to show you where the notes are. All in all, it is a fun guitar to play and great for beginners to learn with. If you are a more advanced musician, I would suggest getting a real guitar as the sounds and the changing chords thing might get annoying.

Summary: ez on the fingers
Comment: I just got this guitar, after buying it on line, it is wonderful after not thinking I would ever play again after so many years. I would still recommend guitar lessons, and a regular guitar for someone starting out, but this has been a real treat to play and is bringing some techniques back to me that I had forgotten for many years. I'll be using this guitar, and my old one as well, thanks for helping me rediscover my musical roots. It is just a joy to pick something up and play anything that you want and it even makes us old finger-pickers sound great.

Summary: Buy a real guitar
Comment: This is a neat gadget in that it can produce sounds of various instruments. But if you want to learn guitar just buy a real one. The lighted frets are neat, but simply don't have the same "effect."
