About Me

WorkshopLive.com is the world's premiere online music education website. We have over 2000 high quality video lessons for guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, in all styles and all levels.
Our lessons run an average of 10 minutes in length and are sure to teach you more than just riffs and licks, but exercsises, concepts and theory as well. All are accompanied by high quality graphics as well as full notation and TAB that can easily be printed out. AND, we always give you jam tracks so that you can practice along with some real music!
One of the highlights of our lessons is our interactive player. It allows you to loop or play an example during the lesson and you can see the notes animated on the music ,as well as on a virtual guitar neck. You can slow it down, or speed it up. Or even choose whether you want to see what fingers to use, or the note names.
Our teachers are some of the best in the country. Many are National Guitar Workshop staff who teach and peform for a living, so they know what they're talking about. We have winners of Grammys, and Emmys as well as one who was voted as Munich's fastest guitar player.
Whether you are beginner or an advaned player, WOrkshopLive has lessons for every leve. From showing you basic chords to just get started, or maybe you want to push the envelope with some shred technique you can find it all at WorkshopLive. Not too mention our vast library of classic song lessons!
