Guitar Video Tutorials Climbs on iTunes Podcast Charts: Is this thanks to Guitar Hero?

We all know that Guitar Hero is a gateway drug, well that is what some people have said and modern guitarists have many new options when it comes to learning more about their musical instrument, music lessons and chord books, but for the visual learner one of the best options in learning is not only Guitar Hero but more likely video tutorials. There are many ways online to learn but it seems that “iVideosongs” is one of the best.

Many people feel this way and of the top 20 podcasts which are offered by iTunes six of them are in fact iVideosongs tutorials and apparently the second most popular on iTunes is iVideosongs Beginning Guitar 101. The interest in guitar tutorials is definitely because of the popular games Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

If you are a guitarist who wants to become the best then try out iVideosongs lessons which you can purchase individually for $5 or $10, obviously dependant on if the song is being taught by the music artist who wrote it or not, there are certain titles that are available for free download within iTunes, you would like to know that all purchases are in HD quality and can be transferred onto iPods and iPhones for portable tutelage. The songs are broken down in segments - intro, verse, chorus, bridge and so forth.

IVideosongs have just recently updated these - Tom Petty’s “Refugee”, Peter Frampton’s “Baby, I Love Your Way”, Everclear’s “Wonderful”, Jimmy Buffett’s “Pencil Thin Mustache”, Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” and Brad Paisley’s “Alcohol”.
