We are proud of all our artists who have dedicated their time teaching students online via our online learning platform, and always happy when they find time to record new albums. Within the past 12 months, 10 out of our 25 online teaching artists are either releasing, or have already released new albums. This recent surge is more evidence that our online learning model is working - passionate students are able to access these talented musical geniuses, and the artists are able to balance teaching with recording new music. Here's what's new:
We first met Scott Law in 2011 when he came to the ArtistWorks studio in Napa, CA to play acoustic guitar on a few of Darol Anger's Fiddle Lessons. Needless to say that all went great and we became big fans immediately. We stayed in touch with Scott and would often run into him at summer festivals and also had him back in the studio to play acoustic guitar for some of Andy Hall's Dobro Lessons. All the more reason why we're very excited to have him on board here for a series of free beginner guitar lessons we're calling Acoustic Guitar 101. We asked him some questions while he was here to find out more about his background and his approach to teaching guitar.
Now you can access a brand new series of beginner guitar lessons for free! This easy-to-follow, step-by-step program offers high-definition video lessons that walk you through the fundamentals of learning acoustic guitar - including all the essential guitar chords, picking, strumming, easy acoustic guitar songs, and much more. Taught by the great guitarist Scott Law, Acoustic Guitar 101 is the perfect way to get you playing fast!
