64-bit/32-bit windows 7 compatible – finally!

Finally – the fix we’ve all been waiting for!

Guitar freak Workstation 6.3.0 runs on XP sp2, Windows 7 32 or 64 bit.

It was broken for a while there and  probably I missed a lot of sales – since this is the only Sight-reading trainer out there for Guitar and bass players.

There’s a bunch more tools aimed at building your over-all musicianship in the full GFW

Transcriber (Slow down tool), ability trainer (record yourself, slow to check your technique or speed up for new goals), progression player (and creator), metronome with bass player to take your exercise thru all 12 keys, invertor (to take any pattern up or down through any scale or chord), quick chords (every chord in 14 position, show every scale shape which matches the chord and vice-versa) and much more!

You can upgrade to full GFW at anytime from SightReader Master Extreme for the difference of $35

Tell your friends (it’s no joke when i tell you that you help me eat!)

Rock on friends,

Sean Clancy

New Update available – GFW with SightReader

Hi Everybody, Sean Clancy here.

I’ve had some troubles recently with Guitar Freak Workstation with SightReader crashing.  This was brought to my attention by 1 user and also my computer at work.  That’s right , I actually have a real job now (I work as a copywriter at stock tips.com – my articles are there and worth a bit of a laugh)

So, I’m posting a new version 6.2.0

I linked the resource tool to a new folder on your Documents called “Guitar Freak User Files” and when you save anything with the worksheet tool, that folder will open as a save place.

I just recently got a squire Delux start. The first new guitar in 4 years! Don’t let the name squire turn you off. This guitar sounds better than most fenders, Needless to say, I scalloped all 22 frets!

Until next time,
Sean Clancy , Warsaw

Timing 101 lesson 1

Here is a lesson on getting a good sense of time.  The first audio describes the process and gives examples, what to listen for, and loads of tips.  Timing is often the arch-enemie of guitar players.  Most guitarists cannot do this exercise (and possible even some drummers!), so I’ve broken it down really simply so that you can develop a great sense of time (the difference between hacks and pros)!

Here’s the first audio which contains the tips, examples and explains how to develop the sense of rock solid time

This 2nd audio is your practice exercise.

The e-book “Guitar Virtuosity for the Everyday Man” (only available for purchasers of the full Guitar Freak Workstation) has this explained more at length and also has a visual guide of the lesson).  This is a good audio supplement to that!
