You might not be a guitar-strumming prodigy, but it's never too late to learn a new instrument; even the best guitarists start somewhere. Vook has partnered with Guitar World to provide its ebook creation, distribution, marketing, and merchandizing services to the leading publication and online destination for guitarists. The series kicks off with its first title, Guitar World Lessons: Beginner Guitar: 20 Essential Rhythm Guitar Styles, a video-enhanced ebook that teaches fundamental guitar techniques. The title is available for $5.99 on Amazon and iBookstore, with Barnes & Noble, Sony, Samsung, and Vook’s own store coming soon.

The Guitar World Lessons series is a blend of written instruction, tablature, and video that come together perfectly in an ebook format for an educational and playful, so to speak, experience. The opportunity to teach readers new techniques through videos integrated into instructional text is a perfect fit for the enhanced-ebook concept that Vook pioneered. "We think this is a great new way for people of all skill levels to learn to play guitar,” says Bill Amstutz, VP, Publishing Director, Music, of NewBay Media. “The Vook platform allows us to easily present and distribute our multimedia content on all ebook devices.” Another big hit: you save on the costs of hiring a private teacher or the time it takes to attend class lessons, so what's to lose?
