PROS
-
The competency of the instructors is terrific! Learning from actual pros is fantastic!
-
ArtistWorks’ use of slow-motion video is beneficial in ensuring that the video lessons are absorbed, especially for beginners.
-
The community aspect of the site is better than others. You can interact with your teacher and fellow students, creating a fun learning environment and boosting your game. You can view other videos submitted by users on the Video Exchange tab on the specific lesson’s page, and often, your peers will add value to the lesson in a different way than the teacher.
-
The course menu spelled out the skill level for each lesson (fundamental, intermediate, advanced, etc.) so you can be comfortable with what you’ve learned before moving on to more challenging lessons.
CONS
-
Once you log in, figuring out where to access a course from your account takes a while.
-
You can only fully utilize the site's features if you purchase an annual subscription.
-
The videos are not available for download and can only be streamed, which is a bummer if you’re on the go and want to take your lessons somewhere without a reliable internet connection.
-
No follow-along tab means getting the printer or dealing with multiple windows.
-
Feedback from instructors varies widely based on their availability.

Bryan Sutton's course may be challenging for beginners due to high suggested tempos and limited foundational detail.
