I did not know that online education could be this personalized or this effective. The Virtual Exchanges are priceless, yet only cost me a few dollars per submission. ArtistWorks has created an online learning environment I did not know was possible.

I have been a user of ArtistWorks for around eight years now. There are lessons and videos Exchanges which are like mini lessons themselves. The site is also a great place to interact with other musicians across the world. The great thing about the ArtistWorks video Exchange system is you get personal one to one feedback from your chosen Tutor. I was already an experienced Guitarist before I started. But there is always new things to learn.
