Legacy Learning Systems News Releases

PRESS STATEMENT FROM FOUNDER & CEO

Legacy Learning Systems — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:45:58 -0500

In creating Guitar Apprentice, we developed an entirely new way of teaching songs. Instead of requiring that a student learn to play all the notes of a song before being able to actually play it, we present the song in various levels where, on the lowest level, Guitar Apprentice plays most of the guitar part and all of the other instrument parts, and the student simply fills in the handful of missing notes. Guitar Apprentice tells the student which notes to play via animated fretboards, horizontally presented, that scroll down the screen. As the student progresses through the levels, Guitar Apprentice plays less and less of the guitar part and the student plays more and more until, eventually, the student is playing the entire guitar part. It is available in music stores nationwide including Guitar Center, as well as at GuitarApprentice.com.

We developed this methodology for teaching songs several years ago. It was entirely new and was patented for all video formats, including both DVD and video game. The patent was approved by the U.S. Patent office and issued in March. The patent is held by Guitar Apprentice, Inc., a Legacy Learning Systems company.

We intend to fully defend Guitar Apprentice and its intellectual property and hope that an amicable resolution with Ubisoft can be reached.

Statement from Gabriel Smith, Founder & CEO of Legacy Learning Systems, Nashville, Tennessee

Writing and recording with Osbourne led to multi-platinum success, inspiring him to create the new iconic Black Label Society in 1998. In the decade plus since, BLS has turned the notion of what a rock band should be upside down by inspiring legions of fans (known as Berserkers) all over the world to follow the mantra: Strength, Determination, Merciless, Forever (SDMF for short). Wylde and his Berserkers have established a heavy metal institution true to the vision of uncompromising, unfiltered and unrestrained rock ‘n’ roll. To date, Black Label Society has sold millions of albums worldwide and continues to be a massive presence on the worldwide touring and merchandising circuits. Black Label Society’s ORDER OF THE BLACK (eOne Music), was released in August 2010 and debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart.

With each and every instructional multimedia product there comes the mission to bring your own talent within reach while maintaining a fun and exciting learning experience based on personal interaction, new technologies, steadfast techniques and well known instructors. “We have taken the word learning and made it fun,” said Gabriel Smith, Founder/CEO of Legacy Learning Systems. “Making music is always about bringing people together and we think our new products will allow our customers to find talents they didn’t even know they had, achieve their goals and have a fantastic time doing it.”This year Legacy Learning Systems will offer the following critically acclaimed products for the holiday season: Guitar Apprentice™: An entirely new approach to bringing out your inner rock star! This approach to learning guitar combines the technology of video gaming and interactive player components with the use of your own guitar set to different levels of skill. Legendary music icon, Randy Bachman, even provided his master tracks of the blockbuster hit single “Takin Care of Business” for the highly anticipated new retail product available at Guitar Center stores nationwide in mid-October. Make no mistake however, “This Ain’t No Video Game.” A beginner player or music enthusiast can strap on his own guitar and learn how to play with Guitar Apprentice™ while engaging in an on-screen environment that supplies a fast, easy and fun instructional platform. It’s not a game, it’s an actual instructional series of lessons that allows the player to achieve different levels and play “with” the music, not “at” the music. Some of the world’s best known songs are included in Guitar Apprentice™ and feature songs such as “Hey Jude,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “More Than a Feeling.” The higher the level achieved throughout the experience, the more of each song a guitar player will play. The unique feature of Guitar Apprentice is that it takes the approach of instant gratification. Each song is broken into different difficulty levels, so even if you’ve never played guitar you’ll be able to keep up on the first beginner level. You provide a very minimal amount of simple chords at the first stage, and Guitar Apprentice™ will supply the rest. Once you move through the levels, you’ll be given more and more chords to play until you’re finally playing the full song. Guitar Apprentice™ offers 15 levels for each song. It guides the player through a non-intimidating environment which shows chords and strings on the screen. The guitar player will never be lost or overwhelmed. There are no plastic controllers or colored knobs and no pretend music, just your own real guitar and the most advanced guitar playing experience for every level ever offered. Learn & Master Photography™: Cameras are everywhere and in the world of social media, visuals become your story. Most people however get frustrated with the images they capture even with an expensive camera that they expected to automatically adjust and create perfect images. The Learn & Master Photography™ series teaches photography enthusiasts all they need to know on how to capture the perfectly exposed, well composed and emotionally exciting photo. Professional photographer, Vince Wallace, designed each interactive lesson and “tricks of the trade” that make this series of instructional videos and programming an exceptional holiday gift for anyone who wants to get behind the lens. The Learn & Master Photography™ series contains over 30 hours of instruction in 24 sessions on 15 professionally produced instructional DVDs, 2 photography sample CDs containing editable hi-res images used in the course sessions, a Lesson Book that follows the sessions and access to the free online student support center.
