PRIVATE LESSONS ON VIDEO

I now have the technology to record myself playing guitar on video, and send it to you in an email. You can then watch it on your computer, or even put it on your Ipod/Iphone.

If you're interested in doing a "virtual lesson" where I record short musical examples on video, please email me at karlstraub@hotmail.com to discuss what you're looking for, and how much it will cost.

A video lesson done this way could be structured in a variety of ways, just like a regular in-person lesson. Examples-- I could play a lick you're trying to learn, or a solo from a record. I could demonstrate a technique like string bending. I could also show how I might improvise in various styles, or over a certain chord progression, etc.
Don't be shy about asking for something crazy! Want me to play "Strawberry Fields Forever" the way Clarence White might have played it? No problem. The Bee Gees' "Nights on Broadway," played in a Norman Blake style? That could work. Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite," in Jeff Beck's psychedelic Yardbirds style? It might cost you, but sure.
Please note-- it doesn't have to be shot in the "point-of-view" angle. Some people find that camera angle offputting-- I can shoot it traditional style if needed. (If you are going to put it on your Ipod, you can have your cake and eat it too, though, because you can just hold the Ipod upside down.)
