WHAT IS VIDEO SURGEON?

Video Surgeon is a unique software program that enables guitar players to learn more easily from the free videos found on Youtube and other websites. It allows you to slow down a video by 50%, zoom in and set loop points at your discretion.

So, let's say you wanted to learn the lead guitar part to Stairway to Heaven... You would simply download a free video clip from Youtube (or another website), open it up in Video Surgeon and watch it in slow motion.

Then, you could zoom in for a close-up view of the fingering and also set loop points in order to watch the lick over and over. After you get the fingering down, you would increase the speed until you were able to play it like the original version.

Learning the lead guitar part this way would suddenly become much faster and easier!

Well, here's some more good news for you...

A breakthrough, proprietary, "sniffer technology" is finally here and now available in the newest release of Video Surgeon.

What is "sniffer technology"?

It is a new, proprietary way, of AUTOMATICALLY finding video links on a web page.

This means that you don't have to manually find video links and paste them into Video Surgeon

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...

It means that you are no longer limited to a few web sites. With the new sniffer technology, Video Surgeon can access videos on virtually an unlimited number of websites; they estimate this to be over 90% of all sites on the WWW.

Watch this quick video explaining this new sniffer technology, as well as the other features found in Video Surgeon...

To celebrate this newest release, Video Surgeon is offering a $1 sale, for a limited time. In total, you'll receive up to $38 in savings, when your purchase before the end of November.

So don't wait. With the upcoming holidays, it'll be December before you know it and you'll miss out... Not only on the savings, but on a tremendously valuable learning and teaching tool for video.

THE BEST WAY TO LEARN GUITAR

Free Download

What is the best way to learn guitar? Well, let's see if I can answer this question for you...

Perhaps you've noticed that there is a lot of information available on the internet these days on how to play guitar. But, which way is best? Can online guitar lessons provide the same quality instruction as offline lessons with a real, live guitar teacher?

What are the advantages and disadvantaes of learning guitar online vs. learning guitar offline?

First of all, online guitar lessons have improved significantly with the advent of video and audio technology. All you need is a good connection speed and the internet can provide you with your own virtual guitar instructor, in the privacy of your own home!

Video technology allows you to both see and hear the music your instructor is playing, as well as receive his/her helpful playing tips.

One disadvantage however, is that the instructor cannot see you! This may create a problem if you are having trouble executing a specific technique, or needing help with correcting a bad habit you may have.

Nevertheless, "interactive" online guitar lessons are probably the best choice as far as "virtual" online lessons go. I say this because they will most likely give you an opportunity to ask your instructor questions about areas you may be having difficulty with. But, having said this, the interaction may be slow in coming if it takes the form of an email, or forum discussion.

One of the most obvious advantages of online guitar lessons, of course, is price. Membership sites, for instance, tend to charge a monthly or annual fee. But the price is minimal when compared to what you would pay for guitar lessons with a private instructor. I charge $30 an hour for private guitar lessons myself, but some instructors charge anywhere from $50-$75 per hour. That can really become cost prohibitive for people who are struggling to make a buck in a poor economy.

However, the internet has become an effective "Equalizer" for the consumer by providing them with multiple options. As a result, many guitar sites have felt compelled to offer information for free, myself included. Webmasters do this in order to keep up with the competition and establish a good reputation with those who are seeking the information they provide.

For example, I am currently offering a free download of my ABC Learn Guitar eBook. If it helps someone learn how to play the guitar, then I will have (hopefully) gained their respect and trust. The guitar student, in turn, will have gotten the information they were seeking. Chances are they might even visit my site again. This helps establish my online presence with the search engines, providing me with more exposure, while the student continues to find additional information on how to play the guitar. Everyone wins!

Speaking of ebooks... One of the nicest things they have to offer is convenience. I don't know about you, but I get pretty tired of sitting in front of my computer after awhile. But with an ebook you can easily print out whatever pages you want and study them offline; away from your computer.

An ebook can also be used to supplement other learning material you may have. It could even be used as part of an offline lesson with a real, live guitar instructor. Plus, you can review the ebook whenever you want to, without going online. That's pretty nice if you ask me.

In a nutshell, online guitar lessons have some advantages and some disadvantages. The most obvious advantage, of course, is cost and convenience. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is limited interaction, and the fact that you will need to have a good internet connection.

Offline guitar lessons offer the best opportunity to ask questions and get corrections on your playing technique. But the biggest disadvantage is the cost- they are expensive.

So, what is the best way to learn guitar? Perhaps an ebook offers a happy medium between the the two choices. I've already pointed out that an ebook can be read either on your computer screen, or printed out and studied offline.

In addition to this, most ebooks are relatively inexpensive and you can refer to them over and over again. The Abc Learn Guitar eBook is free and it is designed specifically for beginners. So, if you're searching for information on how to play guitar, all you have to do is download it, and you can get started today.
