Real Time Backing Tracks
   Many artists use backing tracks of one kind or another, but if you can't obtain a particular backing track what are you going to do?
   Here at M²S we can reproduce all kinds of songs which you can bring back to life again. Alternatively if you have a particular arrangement of a song to which you need a backing track we can do it.

Midi Files
   If you prefer midi format for your backing tracks we have a substantial library of songs in all genres. These can all be edited, for example we can speed them up or slow them down, take out bits you don't want, transpose to what ever key suits you and add additional instruments or backing vocals.

Tuition
M²S offers guitar tuition to all age groups beginners to intermediate. Our courses have been used by Somerset Adult Learning centres for adult education and have proven to be very effective. 
   As with any instrument learning to play it takes discipline and understanding we are not therefore great believers in teaching guitar over the internet perferring to be able to discuss face to face with the student their needs.
Our approach is to take the student from the very basics of guitar construction through to chord work and scales and of course learning songs. However we do provide a few Hints and Tips which you may find helpful.
   We are covered by the Musicians Union Public liability insurance and can provide guitar tuition to groups or individuals.  Group courses of up to ten students normally run over a ten week period of 2 hours per session.
