Roadrunner Records artists Kids In Glass Houses have just released a video in conjunction with O2AcademyTV that really shows "how it's done" on YouTube. Following the trend for bands to put up videos that show their fans how to play along to their songs, it takes you step by step through how to play the guitar and drum parts of their song "Not In This World" but it also shows off how slick YouTube presentation can be when done well.

Following a short introductory clip of the whole group playing "Not In This World", the band walk off leaving only the drummer and guitarist. The viewer is then presented with embedded link buttons that allow them to watch either a drum or guitar tutorial for the song. Each tutorial in turn allows various options of view, camera angle and emphasis, allowing you to get really up close to the action and see exactly what is going on. Skipping between the views is a doddle using linked buttons that direct you to the versions of the video you want to watch.

It's a really slick, fun and interactive way to learn a song and makes it easy to pick up all the different sections. Check out the "Not In This World" tutorials for yourself at the O2AcademyTV YouTube channel or watch the video below.
