YouTube for e-learning
YouTube is being increasingly used in an innovative and emergent way, especially with regards to e-learning and alternative training, says Onrec.com.
A man called Jeong-Hyun Lim, or "FunTwo" has scored 7 million views on his video since uploading it a year ago.
The video takes an arrangement of Pachelbel`s Canon in D and really pushes it to the limit. Since then, many other young guitarists have tried to emulate him and have uploaded their own versions as well.
