Reviews
Real Guitar
Both the songwriting aspects and insight into the Real Guitar software were most helpful and informative. Much of it would have been incomprehensible to me without your tuition. Thank you????

Very helpful for keyboard players
I purchased the RealGuitar and RealStrat plugins and was very excited to use them... only one problem, I am not a guitar player. Once you get used to stopping your left hand from playing the bass notes and thinking about guitar effects it gets much easier and you sound a lot better. These videos will help every keyboard play beat your left hand into submission!

Very good tutor
The videos are ok. I didn't know there was an option to download them. Now I can study properly rather than viewing them online.

Consise Walkthrough on Features and Functions
This is not a video showing how to "make the best of a virtual instrument", in fact, the samples/examples presented by the tutor don't sound like anything you would want to pay money for. This is actually the only let-down I can name for these videos since otherwise, they are just a perfect "library" of learning where everything sits and how it works.
The lecturer shows every function in context, demonstrates its (technical) use and shows interaction where necessary. Videos are short, on the spot, flawless to understand, well edited.
Note: This only covers an older version of Real Guitar, the most recent version is not discussed.

Excellent!
While the expansive features offered in RealGuitar are what make it a great product, the learning curve has been slow for me with much trial and error and searches through the pdf manual. Krantzberg clearly has a capable understanding of this program and presents his tutorials in a concise, yet easy, manner. This is not an amateur presentation but rather a professional tutorial that is more than worth the price!
