Now through midnight on September 2, 2009, visitors to Musicnotes.com can download a free, interactive Guitar Lesson (including matching guitar tab that’s worth $7.95) for “Over the Rainbow.” This particular arrangement was arranged by Grammy award-winning artist Aaron Stang, from Alfred Music Publishing to match the performance recorded by Les Paul and Chet Atkins and featured on the album, ‘Masters of the Guitar – Together.’

“Les Paul closed every show at the legendary jazz club Iridium in New York City with an instrumental version of this song,” said Tim Reiland, Chairman of Musicnotes.com. “This song has a very emotional meaning for musicians everywhere.”

In lieu of payment, Musicnotes and Alfred Music Publishing encourage users who choose to download the song to send donations to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 W. 30th St., Seventh Floor, New York, N.Y. 10001.

The free download is available online at http://www.musicnotes.com/free (now through midnight, September 2, 2009). Be sure to watch a video of Les Paul playing Over the Rainbow on YouTube!.

The nice thing about our Guitar Guru Sessions, is that you can choose songs to challenge yourself and your guitar playing skills. If you want to get better at playing the guitar, you’ll want to find songs that are more difficult than what you can master right now. For example, if you can play the “Advanced” Sessions that we offer, you might want to check out these Guru picks we’ve dubbed “Guitar God” for all you gurus out there.

These songs are guaranteed to qualify you as a “Guitar Guru.” Don’t forget, you get the tab along with the session so you can play these songs long after you learn them, too! Check back with us on Tuesday, May 26th for a new Green Day session and few other surprises.

Remember, our $1 off every Guru Session sale ends at midnight on May 31st, 2009 so don’t be afraid to grab an extra Session or two while the price is right. If you’ve got a song you want to learn how to play, you can suggest a Guitar Guru Session to us, too. Till next time, hope you’re having fun learning guitar!
