Hi Everyone, In my continuous effort to make the streaming of our video guitar lessons as fast as possible and retain the quality of the videos at the same time, we have once again re-encoded all of our lessons. This time around, instead of using .flv (flash video) format, we’ve encoded to the newer mpeg4…
We are happy to announce that we’ve installed new encoder software onto our streaming servers, resulting in 40-50% lower file sizes, therefore half the streaming time required for videos. This upgrade is especially useful for our students with a slower Internet connection who experienced interruptions and lags while watching the videos.

I know it’s been a while, and I’m sorry, but I’ve been super busy re-creating TheGuitarLesson.com from the ground up. The old site was nice, but it was created in 2008, so it was about time to modernize things, inside-out. New design and logo The first thing you’ll probably notice is the new design of…
