Revolutionary guitar training software includes guitar-to-USB cable; for use with Windows-based PCs and any electric guitar

2011 International CES

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Raw Talent Group is pleased to announce the launch date for their first release, Raw Talent Guitar, which will be available for the first time on January 25, 2011.

Raw Talent Guitar is a revolutionary guitar training system for Windows and features a guitar-to-USB cable, allowing a student to learn on their own guitar. Raw Talent Guitar includes video lessons and practice sessions, and encourages the student to learn at their own pace on whichever guitar feels most comfortable.

"What makes Raw Talent Guitar truly revolutionary is the Real-Time Performance Engine, which grades your guitar playing ability and delivers immediate feedback," said Lawrence Fisher, President and CEO of Raw Talent, Inc. "This is an algorithm which has been applied to learning guitar for the very first time and is proprietary to Raw Talent, Inc."

The software's proprietary RT Evaluator "hears" what the student plays and compares the performance to the instructor's to deliver a percentage score in real time. The program also includes jam tracks for warming up and practicing solos, and 15 licensed tracks from iconic artists like Oasis, Boston and the Clash, which allow the student to remove the lead or rhythm guitar and play as the guitarist for the band.

Raw Talent Guitar installs with AmpliTube's amp & FX software by IK Multimedia, makers of the iRig for the iPad, and along with the included guitar-to-USB Stealth Plug, also by IK Multimedia, transforms your computer into a sound stage with multiple amplifiers and FX pedals.

"Raw Talent Guitar will shape a guitarist at any level into the type of player they want to be," Fisher said. "The introductory price is $199.00 and will be available exclusively at RawTalentGuitar.com starting January 25, 2011."

Raw Talent Guitar also includes:

* Chord generator providing various fingerings for many different chords

* "My Account" – Progress tracker keeps highest score and monitors improvement

* Complete lesson guide follows the Raw Talent Guitar lesson plan

* Metronome

About Raw Talent Guitar

Raw Talent Guitar is the software training system developed by Raw Talent Group, a division of the South Florida-based software design firm, Raw Talent, Inc. The company started in October 2008 after the founders realized the limitations of learning to play an instrument with video instruction alone, which lack instant feedback or evaluations from an instructor or knowledgeable musician. Many involved with the project are musicians by trade and many professional musicians and guitar instructors were consulted to make Raw Talent Guitar as accurate as possible. The company mission is to be the worldwide leader in providing the most fun and accurate at-home training and evaluation tools for self-taught musicians and artists for use with their personal computers.
