Recently the Learning Guitar Now Podcast got featured in the Podcast Spotlight in the iTunes newsletter.  I have gotten many new subscribers from this and now have the #2 Video Podcast in the US as of August 31st 2008.  I was #1 but got beat out by the Democratic convention.  This may change, but I want to thank all those who have subscribed and watched the podcast.  I can’t do this by myself, I have to have you, the viewer involved.  I thank you for giving me the chance to share some of my knowledge of the guitar to you, and hopefully everyone that watches the podcast will learn something in the process.

Be sure and check out the latest podcast in iTunes, and subscribe to the newsletter to receive the Free tabs and backing tracks.

There is a new Learning Guitar Now video podcast up, and you can subscribe in itunes now if you’re not already. In this week’s Guitar Lessons podcast, I show you how to play a 12 bar blues progression in the style of the late Johnny Cash. If you don’t know the chords I’m playing, simply sign up for my newsletter and receive a FREE Chord chart, as well as FREE video guitar lessons.

I think the video podcasts are coming along well. They are actually easier to do than the audio ones, but I may still do some audio podcasts in the future.

What do you think?

Who likes the video better than the audio?

I think I probably already know the answer to that one!

Until next time and keep practicing!
