There must be hundreds of thousands of guitar players in the world, many of whom simply don’t have access to a really good teacher. So what if there was a TV station dedicated to making video guitar lessons, exclusive interviews with top performers, home recording tips and information on the latest gear available? You’d watch it, right? Music Player Network (they publish Guitar Player magazine among others), has partnered with TrueFire TV, an Internet TV broadcast network, to launch the first Internet-based TV station designed for guitar players. Not surprisingly, it’s called “Guitar Player TV” and is being programmed to appeal to guitarists of all levels. According to guitar legend Larry Carlton (host for the launch), “The site allows us to share our music and expertise in a unique way with our current fans, and it helps us reach out to a new generation of up-and-coming guitar players who use the Internet as their primary resource for entertainment, tips, lessons, and live music.”
Guitar Player TV is the first of four Internet-based TV sites for the Music Player Network with Keyboard TV, Bass Player TV, and EQ TV set to launch in the coming months.
