I'm in my 40's and was able to pick up my father's 30 year old electric bass and learn how to play very quickly. I've been using the program about 3 months and try to play 1/2 to 1 hour every day. Besides learning the songs included in the program I have been able to play Cream songs Badge and Sunshine of Your Love by teaching myself. As for the details: 1. There is no problem with XP. I have a desktop and a laptop and both run the program without any problems 2. Tuner works great and is very very helpful 3. The program records your playing whenever you want. It is easy to use 4. When playing songs you can turn off the bass line in the song, leave the bass line in, or just play the bass line without the music 5. Moving between lessons is painless and very easy I can't say enough about this software. It's great and I am only on lesson 43. You won't be disappointed with the software. It's a good investment and you will be very happy with the results

Forget beginner's books! Save your money and buy this program, the ability to play along with the computer while you watch the notes/chord progression alone is something that no book/ audio cd will ever match. The way the lessons are presented is excellent, giving visual types like me direct re-enforcement on what the lesson is all about by giving you follow-along examples, and most importantly encouraging you to improvise and experiment. I've been learning the bass on and off for a couple of years and while I can already play along with many songs and improvise a bit I have found even the most basic lessons in this program to be very useful. I'm really looking forward to the sight reading section of the course! Highly recommended! If #2 is ever issued I'll buy it!
