Paul Gilbert gives video feedback to students
“I like the idea that I can teach guitar anywhere in the world,” said Gilbert, “from my studio in L.A. or from the back of a car driving through London!”.
Napa, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
ArtistWorks, the only provider of online music lessons that give students Video Exchange™ feedback, announced that guitarist and ArtistWorks Online Rock Guitar School teacher Paul Gilbert became the first person in history to give a Video Exchange Feedback lesson from a moving vehicle.
All ArtistWorks world-renowned music teaching artists utilize a patent pending technology that allows students to not only view a comprehensive collection of online video lessons, tab and backing tracks, but also submit videos of their practice sessions and seamlessly receive video feedback from super-players like Paul Gilbert.
These Video Exchange interactions are paired together with the video lessons and made available to the entire community of students to learn from.
Gilbert’s Online Rock Guitar lessons launched in May to become the fastest growing school in the ArtistWorks stable of twenty-three schools covering everything from online vocal lessons to classical flute.
Gilbert’s mobile guitar lesson on thumb technique became part of a concentrated blitz that resulted in hundreds of personalized Video Exchange lessons in a 10 day period.
It should be noted that Gilbert was not driving at the time. He was in London heading to a UK show, so no additional carbon was emitted in the teaching of this lesson.

“I like the idea that I can teach guitar anywhere in the world,” said Gilbert, guitarist for Platinum-selling band Mr. Big among many other credits, “from my studio in L.A. or from the back of a car driving through London!”.
In addition to his daily role as teacher at his ArtistWorks School, Gilbert is currently preparing to tour in support of his new CD, Vibrato. The ArtistWorks Online Rock Guitar School fulfills ArtistWorks’ mission of helping everyday people across the world fulfill their passion for playing music by getting personalized music lessons from their idols.
