eMedia and Washburn Team Up to Offer Starter Bundles
September 19, 2000eMedia Music, maker of the best-selling line of instructional guitar
software, is pleased to announce the inclusion of their Starter Lessons
in
the WR150PKG and the D8K Washburn Guitar Bundles. Since 1995, eMedia's
guitar software has been widely available in most major MI retailers. This
will be the 1st time eMedia's lessons have been a part of a guitar
package,
allowing customers to truly buy everything needed to start playing
guitar.
Washburn is unveiling both an electric and acoustic bundle. Included
with
the Starter Lessons in the electric bundle is a Washburn WR150 electric
guitar and a Randall RG15X amp. The acoustic bundle includes the
Washburn
D8, eMedia's Starter Lessons and a padded gig bag, digital tuner, nylon
guitar strap and guitar picks. "The decision to use eMedia software was
an
easy one," says Washburn Sales Manager John Kelley. "We wanted to
include
the most complete lessons possible for our customers."
Starter Lessons includes all the tools that an aspiring guitarist needs
to
really get going on the instrument. There are 20 step-by-step lessons
supported by full-motion videos with an on-screen teacher (Kevin Garry,
guitar instructor at UC Boulder), and several songs to make learning fun
and motivating.
Added to this is an impressive array of accessories are an automatic
tuner
(for visually tuning one's guitar to the computer), a metronome, chord
dictionary with playback, and recorder. This provides experienced and
beginner guitarists alike with a complete range of guitar tools at their
disposal. This package obviously adds a great deal of value when
bundled
with guitars. In fact, these items sold separately would cost well over
$200! For more information please contact eMedia Music at (888) 363-3424 or Washburn at (800) 877-6863, or visit their web sites at www.emedia.org and www.washburn.com. |
