ArtistWorks review

ArtistWorks takes a different approach from the rest of this list. Instead of one big library, it runs nearly 20 guitar schools, each a single master teacher's complete path in one style, such as Bryan Sutton for bluegrass flatpicking, Paul Gilbert for rock, Jason Vieaux for classical or Martin Taylor for fingerstyle. A Beginner's Guide to Acoustic Guitar school covers first-time players. Its standout feature is the Video Exchange: Premium members film themselves playing a lesson and get personal video feedback from the teacher, and all members can browse the library of past exchanges. ArtistWorks lists 3,160+ guitar video lessons and 73,800+ guitar students. The Standard plan is $19.99 per month or $191.88 a year, Premium is $29.99 per month or $287.88 a year, and every plan starts with a 7-day trial. The tradeoffs are that you commit to one style per school, some schools are Standard only, and pop song lessons are not the focus.
