John Oates wants to teach you guitar on iVideosongs

iVideosongs offers up seasoned rockers to teach you, the mere mortal, the ins and outs of playing guitar to specific songs. It's all in video and it costs you a mere pittance compared to taking guitar lessons on your own with some local hippie. John Oates (of Hall & Oates), Alex Lifeson (of Rush) and others are some of the larger name draws on the site.



Tech Crunch today writes..."(iVideoSongs) offers video tutorials on how to play guitar from world-class instructors, musicians and sidemen. You won’t find instruction videos from Slash here (yet), but there are guitar videos from Graham Nash, John Oates, and Alex Lifeson (the guitarist from Rush). This site seems to be aimed squarely at the aging Baby Boomer male who still wans to play guitar. And there are a lot of those. But, actually, anyone can learn from the videos, which are quite good. The videos are large and clearly show closeups of exactly what you need to do."

See a sample video below from the site on 'embellishing the pentatonic scale': (Dfactor asks: what's that?)
