Playing Musical ‘Six Degrees of Separation’

Have you ever played the game 'six degrees of separation'?  The idea is that you are only six steps away, by way of introduction, from another person on earth. Well if you take online music courses from ArtistWorks then changes are you are actually only two steps away from knowing some of the biggest music artists around.  For example if you learn bass at Nathan East's online bass school you are only two steps away from Eric Clapton as Nathan is Eric's bass player.  If you subscribe to the School of Banjo with Tony Trischka you are also only two steps away from Sir Paul McCartney.  Cool, eh?  Check out this list of who the ArtistWorks instructors have worked with and see if your favourite artists are only two steps away.
