Interactive Guitar Lessons

Any guitar player who uses the Internet knows that there are approximately 500,000,000 guitar lessons available on line. Most of these fall into two categories:
- A combination of text and tab that could easily have come from a guitar book;

OR

Both can be helpful, but neither one is interactive. If you're looking for interactive guitar lessons online, you don't have many places to go.

What separates online interactive guitar lessons from all the rest is this: they offer you real, meaningful control over the lesson. All the control a text lesson can offer you is whether or not you read it. The guy in front of the amp wall may be good (and may be not so good), but once he's played his awesome lick for you, he's done. You have no control over that type of lesson, either.

WorkshopLive offers truly interactive guitar lessons. You can choose video, tablature, notation or any combination. You can pause the lesson and resume it when you like. You can slow the music down. You can loop it to play over and over. You can show the fingerboard of the guitar righty, lefty, bass strings on top or treble strings on top. Dots on the fingerboard can even show you what finger to use, or what the name of the note is. Now that's an interactive guitar lesson!

But we go a step further. For most of its lessons, WorkshopLive offers several teachers covering the same material. If you don't quite get Dave Martone's explanation of Syncopation in Advanced Rock Guitar, you can switch to Tobias Hurwitz explaining the same material. If Dennis McCumber's lesson on barre chords leaves you with questions, you can take Scott Smith's lesson on the same topic.

What's more, each of these lessons is part of a set of lessons that starts at the beginning of a subject and moves through it in logical, manageable steps. Each lesson builds on what you've already learned. It's not just an interactive guitar lesson; it's an interactive guitar curriculum.

And you're not just stuck with awesome metal licks, since sooner or later even totally awesome metal licks can tire you out. WorkshopLive has lessons in blues, rock, jazz, folk and classical music, along with specialty areas like slide guitar and music theory. Lessons are rated for beginning, intermediate and advanced players.
