This opens the possibility to not only have contact with artists who specialize in their favorite music, but in the case of ArtistWorks, they have access best musicians in the world as their personal teachers.  Using ArtistWorks, Juan Pablo can learn bluegrass guitar online with Bryan Sutton - who's regarded as the best flatpick guitarist since the late Doc Watson pioneered the style.

mandolin lessonsOne of our mandolin students has written a great review of his experience taking online mandolin lessons with Mike Marshall. He posted this in the forums at the School of Mandolin but we wanted to showcase it here on the blog so everyone can read it. We've also linked to two of his Video Exchanges so be sure to click on the images below to watch. 

I've been a member of the Mike Marshall School of Mandolin (MMSM) for a little over one year now (first video submission response was on 12/24/11) and I'd like to share my thoughts on how it has gone.

One word: AMAZING. If you look at my first exchange and compare it to my most recent exchange, there is no comparison.
