Free guitar lessons for iPod video via iTunes

iPlayMusic today announced that it will make a series of 35 beginner guitar video lessons available free of charge to iTunes users. All 35 lessons can be downloaded and played in iTunes and on video-enabled iPods. Using the iPlayMusic video method of instruction, the series of lessons provides a fun way to master guitar basics and learn to play songs without reading music. The company also announced that its entire line of video-based guitar learning products are now available for download to the Mac, PC and iPod.

"iPod owners are music lovers who want to get the most from their music experience – they listen to it, learn about it and enjoy sharing it others," said Quincy Carroll, chief music officer. "For many, learning to play along and sing along with their favorite artists is a natural extension to that experience. With our free lessons, guitarists can simply watch and learn at their own pace, whenever and wherever they choose."

iPlayMusic's free video guitar lessons for the iPod offer a step-by-step approach to instruction, teaching beginning guitarists how to hold, tune and strum the guitar, and how to construct and play chords. The complete download also includes several lessons featuring songs made famous by artists like Eric Clapton, Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. iPlayMusic lessons feature scrolling lyrics and chords, and background music that allows guitarists to get the feeling and sound of playing along with a full band.

Thirty-five free video lessons for iPod with video owners are now available for download on Apple's iTunes Music Store or online. On iTunes, userscan search for "iPlayMusic" and subscribe to the iPlayMusic video podcast.
