I just got this and habe to say that i find it to be a great and fun way to learn the basics of guitar play. At first i thought there is now way, but after playing for 45 minutes i could already see improvements going through the pro guitar training mode. Now, this is not a perfect guitar simulator, as it is not a real guitar. the frets are all the same width, which i thought would be more of a problem than it was, but it has not been so far, probably because i dont play a real guitar. Also, its not a real guitar so its a little pricey, but it has been fun and i have noticed quick improvement so i highly recommend this. There is a big learning curve and you will need to be very patient, but if you are i think this can g oa long way to teaching someone how to play the guitar for the most part
