About the POWER TOUR Electric Guitar

Tweens have never rocked this hard, this easy! With the POWERTOUR Electric Guitar, music enthusiasts can choose to learn how to play the twelve pre-loaded songs or plug in an MP3 player (not included) and jam along to their favorite rockin’ tunes.

To learn the twelve onboard songs, aspiring rock legends first select a song – choices include six classic rock anthems such as Wild Thing, Smoke on the Water and Breaking the Law, as well as several rock originals like Basic Strumming Blues. Once a song is selected, tweens simply follow along to the lights - the POWER TOUR Electric Guitar will ‘light’ the way to where fingers should be placed so tweens can play at their own speed, hitting the right notes at the right time.

Featuring touch sensors instead of strings, the Power Tour Guitar Electric Guitar removes the steep learning curve and intimidation factor usually associated with a real guitar. When the guitar is in ‘learn’ mode, players are introduced to each song segment by segment, lights along the fret and strum bar guide the guitarist. Once the player is able to correctly play the segment, the next segment of notes is introduced. If the player gets the segment wrong, the POWER TOUR Electric Guitar will play back the example a little slower. This cycle will continue until the segment is mastered, the process is continued until the entire song has been learned. Once tweens master the song, they can switch the guitar to ‘band’ mode and rock out to backing tracks – just like they have their own band! As players learn, they can select from rock songs of increasing difficulty, and even change the guitar’s sound to ‘metal,’ ‘punk,’ ‘rock,’ or ‘indie.’

Featuring authentic guitar sounds, the POWER TOUR Electric Guitar boasts lots of really cool guitar features including strum bar, palm mute bar, whammy control, input/output jacks, touch sensors, multicolored LED lights and dual function knobs! The POWER TOUR Electric Guitar also features classic “Gibson Guitar” shape and styling, just like the professional versions.
