Teach Me Rock Guitar(TM) and Teach Me Blues Guitar(TM) Extend Voyetra's Music Edutainment Software Line 

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 2000--Voyetra Technologies, a leading manufacturer of PC-based software for the consumer and professional music markets, has introduced Teach Me Rock Guitar(TM) and Teach Me Blues Guitar(TM). They are the latest titles in Voyetra's edutainment software line, and follow the highly successful Teach Me Guitar(TM) software.

Teach Me Rock Guitar ($39.95 estimated street price) gives the user one-on-one guitar instruction. Guitar enthusiasts will learn how to play three classic rock songs, chord by chord: ``Crossroads'' by Cream, ``Little Wings'' by Jimi Hendrix, and ``Freeway Jam'' by Jeff Beck. Scales, riffs, and phrasing are also covered.

Teach Me Blues Guitar ($39.95 estimated street price) explains the phrasing, scales, and chord progressions (dominant 7ths, dominant 9ths, 6ths, 13ths, and minor chords) essential to playing most blues songs. Four classic blues styles are taught with step-by-step instructions: a 12-bar medium shuffle, a slow blues, a minor-key blues, and an 8-bar blues.

All Teach Me Guitar software products begin with guitar basics (e.g., numbering systems, how to tune) before the software launches into actual playing methods.

Hands-on instruction -- delivered in full-motion, split-screen video -- is accentuated by charts and diagrams that provide in-depth information. An animated fretboard shows users where to place their fingers as a song plays, while the tempo can be adjusted and sections looped to aid learning at an individual pace. Once users have learned a particular song, they can ``take the stage'' and jam with a virtual backup band and video, replacing the lead guitar when they feel comfortable.

Teach Me Rock Guitar and Teach Me Blues Guitar are available from major computer and electronics retailers, and direct from Voyetra via its Web site or toll-free order line.

Both titles require Windows 3.1 or greater; a 486 processor or higher; CD-ROM drive; 4 MB system RAM; a sound card such as the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz(TM); powered speakers; 256 color SVGA graphics; and a mouse or other pointing device
