NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 8, 2015) - Guitar World, the world's best-selling guitar magazine, has announced the launch of Guitar World Lessons, a new app and webstore that provides downloadable video guitar lessons at the click of a button. Guitar World Lessons offers immediate delivery of hundreds of lessons from the Guitar World catalog.

The Guitar World Lessons app is available on the iTunes store for the iPhone and iPad. The app download is free and instructional guitar and bass lessons can be purchased and downloaded by individual lesson or by full download of the instructional product. The catalog includes several genres, including blues, metal, rock, jazz, acoustic, shred, and more. The search function allows the user to search lessons and products by artists, song, genre, or instructor. Some of Guitar World's best-selling products are featured, including Guitar World editor Jimmy Brown's "Mastering Fretboard Harmony."

What makes Guitar World Lessons even more appealing is the all-access functionality across platforms. Users can access purchases on their iPhone, iPad, or even through the web on a personal computer via www.guitarworldlessons.com. Users gain access anywhere, anytime by simply using a single login created when downloading lessons and products.

"Creating a platform for digital delivery of our lessons now allows our audience to download and play in real time and makes us available to a new audience of guitar players," says Guitar World Editor-in-Chief Brad Tolinski.

Each product in the Guitar World Lessons app includes one free lesson to download as a sample of the instructional product. Never has it been easier to demo lessons before making a purchase or purchase lessons and get instant access!
