I think ArtistWorks is really great! I would recommended everyone, who would like to play or play better! I have been playing the guitar since 25 years, and I tell, by using ArtistWorks I became a much better player only in a few months.

ArtistWorks is an excellent source of musical instruction. The instructional material is very complete and structured to take anyone from beginner to advanced stage of playing. You can start as a beginner, and work your way up, or jump into the intermediate, or advanced sections. It's well worth the cost for the amount of knowledge you can take from it, and it's there for you 24/7.
