2. IPlayMusic

For those looking for interactive instruction for beginning guitar...

Interactive video lessons appropriate for all ages
Guitars for everyone in the whole family
Tools and accessories to help you play your best

In developing our teaching method, we conducted extensive research -
we spoke to friends, other instructors, advanced players, beginners, and
people who always wanted to play a musical instrument but hadn't even
taken the first step. In this process we quickly learned that most people
quit playing guitar because they get frustrated with traditional teaching
methods and don't find the process enjoyable.
