I have the inaugural use of our new "Video Classroom" this week....feel free to come by and ask guitar questions or to give me grief about not having hung the whiteboard in the classroom yet :)

I have the "forum page" with it here: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forum/index.php?action=rules and if that sucks for some reason you can go right to my ustream.tv channel at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mark-wein-guitar-lessons

Has Robert posted this pic yet?

How did the chat go?

Any technical difficulties?

Did it work better than Yahoo Live?

It actually worked pretty good. The bummers were that most people didn't have an account so they were just "ustremer-2033232" and there is no video for anyone but me. The interface worked great and you can drop working links into the chatbox.

I'll use it again this week for our setup clinic and then I'm thinking of doing a weekly show starting next month...

How well did the video work compared to Yahoo Live?

How many guys showed up for the video chat?

I was told that the video and audio worked better.

The first 20 minutes were spent with one of my students just talking about table saws. I was going to pack it in when 8-10 people showed up and it was off to the races with questions about modes, soloing and technique.

It really felt like a failure for the first 20 minutes, though :)
