It's also a nice touch that the volume on it goes to 11. Speaking of volume I'd like to buy the amp that comes with it but my wife won't let me. My son and I are both very happy with this toy.

Purchased for my 11 year old son. He could not put it down once opened.You can play in different modes. My son would start with with learning mode. The guitar came preloaded with 12 songs that can be choosen by touching the flashing frett button. He would learn the cords and then practice on jam mode and once he had it down he would go to band mode and play it with the backround music. He just loves it!! I also tried playing and found it to be quite fun myself. Great for just playing around or actually learning the songs that are preloaded on the guitar.
I would definately recommend this to any parent who has a "rock star" wish list.
Best Deals for Power Tour Guitar White
I bought the Hasbro Power Guitar for my 12 year old son this year for Christmas, but we have all ended up having a lot of fun with it (and we range in age from 5 to 39!). There are several things you can do with this guitar and we haven't even tried them all yet. Right now we have it on 'learning' mode. It will play the first few opening notes to a song and you have to copy it. If you mess up, it 'boos' and then plays the same notes again only slower. It keeps playing the same notes until you finally get them right, then it cheers for you and moves on to the next part of the song. There is even an instructional DVD that is included and it really helps you with getting started by showing all the various features step-by-step. I am very happy with this purchase!Honest reviews on Power Tour Guitar White
Let me first start by saying that I paid $20 for this guitar right before Christmas--with free shipping no less! That being said, the toy is worth 20 bucks. If I would have paid full price I would have been very disappointed.My kids got this and "I Can Play Guitar" for Christmas. Power Tour is nice because it comes with a guitar strap, you can plug in your MP3 (nice feature--ICPG doesn't have that), and you don't have to be plugged in to a TV to play it. It also comes with an instructional DVD, but my kids never cared enough to watch it.
I am somewhat disappointed in its ability to play MP3s. The volume just isn't there. I'm sure there is some great reason for this, but it touts "jam along with your favorite songs." When my son started jamming along, the volume of the guitar so greatly overpowered the volume of the MP3 that it was difficult to hear and follow. Also, the specific frets light up for the programmed songs, but for your own MP3s it only plays some cool light show that would be impossible to follow along to.
The strap is a great feature. ICPG does not have that. When purchasing this toy think more along the line of electronic response games, like Bop-It or Simon Says, rather than something that will actually help you learn to play guitar (which, incidentally, I don't think ICPG does either). If you do that and you are able to get a good deal on it, you should be pleased.
