New Guitar Experience (NAPSA)—Hardware, ware... jamware. soft- That’s the concept that gives America’s millions of guitar players the ability to play along with such artists as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix—right from the comfort of home. Guitar players can now jam with some of their favorite tunes—through their computers. GuitarPort, developed by Line 6, is a completely new way for guitarists to have an interactive, compelling jam experience. The program provides the tunes and tones musicians need to play. Players can jam along with their own CDs, MP3s and WAVfiles, or utilize the online membership to play along with an extensive library of tracks. For example, select “Purple Haze” and hear an exclusive remix of Hendrix’s classic original recording with Jimi’s guitar part gone and GuitarPort’s tone ready to step right in. Members have access to a growing library of the classic guitar songs of all time—ranging from Steve Vai to Eric Johnson to Buddy Guy. Also featured are online guitar lessons, tablature, artist bios, as well as cover tracks ranging in genre from alternative to metal to modern country, recorded with world-renowned session players. Of course, the best part may be that with the help of headphones, the entire experience can be enjoyed without waking the neighbors. To learn more about GuitarPort, visit www.line6.com.
