A recent LA Times feature on the company highlighted how their patent pending Video Exchange™ technology uses asynchronous learning to deal with issues caused normally by webcast or traditional music lessons. com, Codecademy and Edmodo. As if that weren't enough, it seems that everyone is having fun here and I certainly wanted to be a part of that and, at the end, these lessons are very affordable. Both student and teacher's video are shown together and seen by all the student community and act as a giant online master class. As quoted in the LA Times article, Mike McGuire, a media analyst with Gartner Inc said: "This ability to time-shift interactions is really a spark of genius. Artists already using the platform to teach include two time Grammy Award winner and harmonica virtuosooward Levy, drumming superstars Billy Cobham and Thomas Lang, turntablist DJ Qbert, pianist Christie Peery, award winning British fingerstyle guitarist Martin Taylor, Swedish jazz guitarist Andreas Oberg, and leading Bluegrass artists Tony Trischka, Mike Marshall, Darol Anger, Missy Raines, Andyall and Bryan Sutton. "The ArtistWorks Video Exchange platform allows any student to get personalized feedback and guidance from some of the world's greatest music teachers, regardless of their location or schedule, for far less than the cost of a private lesson.

Subscribing members also get entry to a high-resolution video lesson library, which includes multi-angle camera view selection, slow motion capability and video looping.
