The Video Exchange process is a marvelous thing. Each one captures a unique experience between student and teacher, and lives forever in the Video Exchange Archive.
Over time this treasure trove of tips and techniques only becomes bigger and more helpful for future students. Imagine - every question you may ever have about your instrument already answered!
We recognize that it takes courage and determination to brave the waters of recording and the rocky shores of uploading. As a small token, we're giving everyone who's ever submitted a video to their teacher here a badge for their bravery. May it bestow you peace in times of turmoil.
Did you get the badge? It's not too late!
We get all kinds of questions about ArtistWorks. Recently we got an email from someone who thought our Video Exchange learning was too good to be true:
“...I’m just wondering if it's actually Paul Gilbert leading the way here? How could he possibly have the time to teach all of the me's out there?"
So how does he do it?
ArtistWorks is designed for working musicians (and people like you) whose lives are in constant motion…
