Just wondering if there's any rule on what the max length of a lesson should be?
 I have tried searching around but didnt find any info.. Is it ok to do a full song (maybe 4-5 minutes) if it's kept interesting throughout the whole video? Or is 30-40 seconds to 1-2 minutes the wanted length? -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

I believe 30 secs is minimum.
About maximum,well,it's pretty individual I guess. Personally I like to keep it up to 1min,seems reasonable to me. But hey,if you have something cool that lasts 4-5 minutes,a song or som,why not. However it'd be nice to split it in few lessons,like parts. My opinion.

If you want to do longer than 1 minute, you could split it up into serveral lessons as Muris said. |

What is it that you're working,what kind of job? Sorry if it's unpolite question,you don't have to answer at all.

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Feb 18 2008, 08:45 AM) This depends on the lesson - we have some "full song lessons" that are ~3-4 minutes and we need more of those! As for mimum length - if a passage is extremely content rich it can motivate a short lesson. But generally we want the lesson to be at least 45 seconds. Yeah,just as I expected,too many speedy notes in few minutes will make a whole mess, to learn it and practice.

I may give a try to full song lessons, but there´s this thing, in a full song context there are repetitions, and reexpositions so that may be kind of boring to student.
