Amateur Musicians, Athletes Seek Tips With Videos On YouTube.com…:
When Eric Nguyen, a 20-year-old student in College Station, Texas, needed some help with a Chopin etude he was learning, he didn’t turn to his piano teacher. Instead, he went on YouTube.com, the amateur-video sharing site, and posted a video of himself playing.
Within 10 minutes, three people he’d never met had given him feedback. One told him he needed to use more wrist action to reduce false notes; another suggested a series of exercises.
What a great idea! Go give Eric some advice.
Great idea. I use youtube to see different guitar style technques, and guitar excercises. Who needs to pay a guitar teacher anymore…
Lots of guitar videos there, huh? But you still can’t beat the individual attention of a great teacher.
