"I have checked out online lessons and always thought you don't get feedback so you don't learn much besides tabs. This format is absolutely amazing because you get interaction and feedback. You get to play with sounds, and one huge thing is the ability and ease to invert chords and turn them into a melody. This is honestly a new approach that I think will progress people that want to learn faster. I also play a little piano as well so the fact that you can do that as well is a huge plus. Additionally being able to read the how, when, and most importantly the why creates better musicians. This isn't teaching people to follow tabs it actually teaches how to be a musician which is ground breaking on many instruments. I really think you are onto something amazing that I have never seen before. Thank you so much!"

“We've found emuso to be a real game changer with our students on the way how harmony and rhythm work together without having to use notation. Emuso really helps our students understand how to explore chord structures and rhythms. We heartily recommend this program to all of our students.”

Jon Eno,

CEO Hot House Music School

“Why have I purchased emuso so quickly? Because I see immediately the value and this style of teaching is a match to me. It’s simple, but powerful tool for learning straight to the point. It’s easy to understand, fun and enjoyable to use and practice in real-time. Feeling as you do with a friend, one-on-one. Compared to other online sites for learning guitar, for me emuso is on top, providing more. It is a real journey, not boring, without the ability to cheat yourself. Thank you for the excellent work you are doing!”

"When I started my guitar journey, everything I learnt was some kind of patterns, boxes... Then I picked up some of those music theory books, tried to learn some theory, for example intervals...during my free time and they gave me a lot of difficulties, because I didn't always have my guitar ready to play and the theories seemed to disconnect to the pattern. I have had to always try to visualize there is a guitar in front of me, in my head. This is until I found out about emuso/Xplorer. It has a combination of theory lessons, an interactive guitar, ear training tool, RhythmX for creating a backing track to jam along...everything in one platform. Nothing can beat the real guitar, but if there's anything that can help you learn along the way, it's emuso/Xplorer."

WYSIWYP (What You See Is What You Play). As early as over a decade ago, when I was using Fishman TriplePlay, I was looking for software like Emuso. Now, I'm using Emuso in conjunction with the Jamstik Studio MIDI Guitar for guitar instruction. I can design the scales used for each song, rather than being confined to a limited set of patterns. Plus, students can directly "see" the positions I'm playing. Dragging and dropping the root note to move the entire chord makes it intuitive for students to understand the rules of barre chords. By displaying intervals, the structure of chords is also easy to understand. The capo feature is also very helpful when explaining guitar arrangements. Emuso's designers listen to user needs to add or modify features, making it a recommendation for every guitarist, music teacher, and anyone using a MIDI guitar.

Emuso/Xplorer is a software that doesn’t have its equivalent anywhere. It helps you learn, understand, practice and create music in a 100% visual way, which means you don’t have to go to a music academy for 10 years before starting to put the pieces of the music puzzle together. Whether your aim is to play, improvise, or compose top-notch music, on guitar, bass, or keyboards, it really can save you a bunch of time – and makes you feel good too! You will soon wonder at the thousand people stuck in a rut when there’s really no reason to stay there (other than what the musical elite has decided on your behalf, I mean). So, if you’re in the mood to learn music the hard, conservative way, don’t try emuso at all, because you will have to change your mind. Jerry, its creator, is always there, willing to help you go faster, smoother, and make your musical journey both pleasant and efficient. If you haven’t quite got me so far … I kinda like this software.

I am very impressed with the features, design, ethos and incredible potential that emuso/Xplorer v3 has in supporting the learning journeys of guitarists, at all levels and ages. From the very first interactions with the platform, you can feel that emuso is a product of love and dedication to the guitar and its intricacies and the result of countless hours of design, programming, musical and performative thinking, but also structured understanding of the complexities of learning to master this wonderful musical instrument. As a guitarist, technologist, educational researcher and teacher, I have absolutely no reservation to recommend emuso.

emuso/Xplorer v3 is uniquely excellent in its combination of intuitive interactive tools and content, for developing skills used improvising, including listening and optional applicable music theoretical skills. For guitarists, this is a one-stop shop for many aspects of improvisation, including technique and visualisation skills for creating perceived and imagined musical sounds on guitar. These provide a multi-sensory experience missing from instructional books and often missed working in bands. Something to really take your improvisation chops to the next level!

As with traditional approaches to music instruction, upon opening Emuso/Xplorer v3, I expected a linear, rigid, step-by-step program, with music theory randomly injecting between lessons. I watched the introductory video explaining the concept, then began exploring the different options and layout of Emuso. I soon realized this program is unlike the others. The Emuso approach to learning is multidimensional and reflects current research on the way our brains learn. As researchers and educators uncover how the brain learns, so too can we develop better ways to facilitate learning new skills and concepts. V3 does just that. Emuso approaches guitar and music concepts organically, while empowering the learner to understand guitar, melody, harmony, rhythm and broad music concepts in a brain-compatible, research based approach through curiosity, discovery, aspiration and the innate desire for new understanding. A dynamic, fluid approach that assumes nothing other than the brain and body’s natural way of learning. With Emuso Practice Suite you’re not just learning to play the guitar, you are growing a deep multidimensional understanding of music that can elevate you as a guitar player, musician and creator.
