Learn to play guitar (or drums or piano) at iVideosongs
iVideosongs provides a selection of video lessons for acoustic or electric guitar, banjo, drums, and piano. Most of the tutorials are presented by iVideosongs instructors, who do a great job of breaking lessons down step by step. But a handful of lessons are presented by the professional musicians who either wrote or performed the songs. In addition Alex Lifeson, there are tutorials from drummer Russ Kunkell, The Allman Brother's pianist Chuck Leavell, John Oates of Hall & Oates, and Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, among others.

Paid lessons from iVideosongs instructors tend to run about $5, while lessons from professional instructors are closer to $10.
