Have you ever tried to learn a song by ear? Have you downloaded the tablature just to find out later that what you learned to play was actually wrong? It’s happened to me a bunch of times. It’s tough to find good instructional videos that actually show you step by step how to play the songs as opposed to some dude just jamming out the song while you look on confused.

What if the person showing you how to play the song was the person that actually composed the riffs? That’s where ivideosongs.com comes in. Ivideosongs shows you how to play the song piece-by-piece and in some cases by the actual person that wrote the song in the first place. Imagine Alex Lifeson teaching you how to play Rush’s The Spirit Of Radio or Tom Sawyer! Graham Nash can show you how to play the acoustic run of Teach Your Children Well or Switchfoot’s Jon Formeman teaching you how to play Meant To Live. Though a lot of the songs are taught by iVideosongs instructors, there are a lot of songs instructed by the artists that wrote them. You can’t as for better instruction than that!
