    Just got the latest PG Music flyer in the mail.  They've got a couple
    of new products.  The following text is taken verbatim off of the
    flyer (via scanner), so don't get the idea that I'm hyping this
    program.  I am going to call up to see how soon it's available,
    though...
    
    
    
               This program makes it "too easy" to learn to be a great jazz guitar player!
    
  A Music Program containing a huge collection of over 60
  Jazz Standards, played on MIDI Guitar by top Jazz/Studio
  Guitarist Oliver Gannon.  On-screen guitar fretboard shows
  you exactly what guitar notes are being played.  Play in
  real time or step through the piece chord by chord.
  PLUS  ..  Jazz Trivia Game, "Guess the Song", Memos,
  Jazz Guitarist Biographies (all on disk)... and much more.



 This PROGRAM MAKES IT 'TOO EASY' TO LEARN TO BE A GREAT JAZZ GUITAR PLAYER!
 The  on  screen  guitar  fretboard show  you exactly what notes  and chords  are  being  played  on   the   guitar.   Slow   down
 the piece, or better still, step through the piece chord by chord, so you can learn;  every  note  as  it's  played.  Mute  the
 Guitar track so you can play, along with the bass/drums yourself.

 PERFORMED BY TOP  JAZZ/STUDIO GUITARIST USING MIDI GUITAR CONTROLLER
 All the pieces have been recorded 'in real time' on a MIOI Guitar Controller They are never quantized or Step
 recorded  All pieces are  complete  performnces  professionally  performed,  recorded,  and  saved  as  Standard  MIDI

 your sound card or MIDI system.  Most pieces have bass/drums as well as featuring the guitar - so  yoo  get  a  full
 sounding jazz trio for all of the tunes.

    Hi, it's me, again...  there's more text on the flyer that says that
    the pieces are in standard MIDI file format, so that you can use them
    with other programs.  The machine requirements (Windows or Mac) are in
    there, too.  I would have put it all up online, but they used a stupid
    italic font for the flyer and the OCR doesn't like it...
    
    Price?  $49 + $5 shipping...if you buy it from them...
