Guitar Apprentice, the brand new, real life Guitar Hero anti-video game, just launched their highly-anticipated website: GuitarApprentice.com. Legacy Learning Systems, award-winning technology/multimedia company and the designers of Guitar Apprentice, received great reviews for GA at Summer NAMM this July in Nashville, and are taking the next step to make their guitar learning system as easily and cheaply available.

Check out our review of Guitar Apprentice at this year’s Summer NAMM Convention.

The website has a slew of really cool features, the best of which is a free song download every week. The beginning of each week will bring a new free code, which will allow users to download every level (all 5 difficulties and all 3 speeds on each difficulty) of a different hit song for your learning pleasure. These files can be played with the free-to-download Guitar Apprentice player (available for Mac and PC).

For the Guitar Hero/Rock Band generation, used to “making music” with plastic faux-guitar video game controllers, Guitar Apprentice is the perfect way to translate that passion for music into a real ability to play it. The DVDs and video downloads work with any guitar, filling in the more demanding passages on the easier levels of difficulty and letting more seasoned players jam it out without interruption to the scrolling fretboards on the harder levels.

Watch out for Guitar Apprentice DVDs in retailers like Guitar Center everywhere starting October 1st; they will come in three-song packs grouped by genre and will include such hits as ZZ Top’s “LaGrange,” the Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” and Boston’s “More Than A Feeling.”
