Rhapsody - The Basics

Rhapsody is a digital audio and video streaming service with over 2,000,000 songs to choose from in every imaginable genre from rock to folk and everything in between. So no matter what your guitar playing tastes are, you will find more than enough songs to keep you endlessly busy!

The key to getting the most out of Rhapsody is understanding its powerful user interface. While you can use Rhapsody through the Rhapsody web site, it is far easier to use the standalone Rhapsody aplication, since it is much faster and responsive compared to the web interface.

Rhapsody Home Page

When first launching the Rhapsody application, you will see the Home Page which is the starting point for exploring Rhapsody's 2,000,000+ songs. You can browse through a variety of genres, sub genres and yet more sub genres. For example, selecting the Rock genre, takes you to a list of all the categories that fall under Rock (Alternative, Classic Rock, Metal, etc). If you then select Metal, you will see a further breakdown of Metal categories.

If you start out by selecting Jazz, you will see a similar breakdown by Jazz categories (Fusion, Big Band, etc). Likewise with Blues (Chicago, Delta, Memphis, etc), As you can see, Rhapsody opens you up to an incredible variety of music!
