"Find Your Perfect Music Teacher: Take lessons online over live video"

Could be good for some people.

"She Sells Sanctuary"

The Cult, live in London, 1987. Live in Austin, 2012. Compare and contrast. There will be a quiz later.

(Also, the album version. There's a reason why most albums are recorded in studios with sound engineers.)

No surprise: chicks dig guitar guys

Stevie Wonder, June 1962, live. What joy sounds like.

"Every Noise at Once"

"David Lee Roth Will Not Go Quietly"

What Diamond Dave has been up to recently.

The once and future Van Halen frontman has parlayed the sex and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll of his youth into a wild middle age, and he wants to teach us all about it. Drinking, smoking, and swinging swords on a Saturday night at home with the last true rock star.

UPDATE: here's the link I forgot. Thanks, Phil.

"12-Year-Girl Shreds The Banjo"

A young lady does a right proper "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"

"Is the Music of the 1960s Really the Best Ever?"

Yes. (Well, if you extend the "60s" out to about 1974 before Disco went national.)
