In this first round of Macworld Expo videos (sorry for the bad audio, not sure what happened) we take a look at Speck Products, eMedia, and NuVu. Be sure to check out more coverage all this week.

I have been playing and teaching beginner and intermediate level guitar for over 40 years. Learning this instrument is easy for most people who practice regularly.
