2 stars for this but 5 stars for that,
ivideosongs and their concept/presentation rules supreme to ‘no kidding’ all the 50+ instructional CD’s, DVD’s, and books I own. Signature Licks, Hal Leonard’s play-along, Guitar One, etc, all are missing elements that ivideo covers each and every time! What do copy musicians want when buying this product or any of music from the aforementioned sources? Answer: To sound like the original artist! I have been to the concerts, bought the TAB, the CD, and I even asked Keith Richards back stage for the fingerings and still there is something missing, and that is THE SOUND (Set-up)! How do you get that twang or overdrive that makes my guitar sound just like the record? Well as far as I know, ivideos is the only professional pay source over my past year searching that gives it all! You get the pro instruction without any ‘you tube’ Speech 101 style repeating ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ or ‘excuse me I meant this’ blunders. For 3 bucks per ivideosong, when you do the math, you get the ultimate in tools to nail the song ‘ to-a-tee’ at the same cost per capita as a Signature lick book or similar. 5 Stars for iVIDEOSONGS.
This ’1st Season’ ivideo presentation; should have been fully/better explained just like my fellow reviewer stated – 2 Stars for not doing so. Nobody wants clips, especially if that is not what you want and paid for; but, do go to ivideosongs website, the song selection is sparse right now, but later, surely this will be my only ‘go to’ source for my Top-40 copy bands’ chops!

|Calling these “Seasons” is a bit misleading.,
While the information within these clips is good, they really are just “clips”. . . not episodes. The “First Season” has 6 “episodes” that TOGETHER make around 25 minutes of content. Said another way, the first “season” is less than the length of a single episode of a TV show. To give you an example of the pacing of these episodes, the 2nd one from the first season only teaches how to play a one chord.
Apart from being short, the reason this content is free is because it advertises a website that teaches guitar.
That said, if you’re just starting out, you’ll definitely get some good information here. Just don’t expect it to be a replacement for a more robust training program. I give it 3 stars because it’s more of an advertisement for a website, but the content (though paltry) is useful and the price is right.
Bottom line: You’ll learn something if you’re just starting out – but you certainly shouldn’t pay for something like this.
