Virtual Guitar Teacher

Remember when we were all going to be walking around with virtual reality helmets on, living out our real lives through a virtual medium?  Well, that didn't exactly pan out, did it?  What did happen was the personal computer and the Internet.  Now, iPerform 3D aims to bring it all full circle, virtual reality and all.  Their pitch is this: guitar lessons taught by virtual teachers.  Lame, right?  Wrong.  All the video is made from motion capture technology so it's pretty realistic. From Wired...

In order to study what the site's pros are teaching, budding guitarists can zoom in, loop any segment, view the lesson from multiple angles (including from behind the fretboard) and slow the song to a crawl while preserving its pitch. The idea behind the site is that by manipulating video of the guitar teacher teaching, you can learn at a faster rate. Full Post

I've been looking to get some guitar skills so I'm considering the $20/month offer (much cheaper than real guitar lessons).  If I go through with it I will most certainly let you guys know how well it works.
