Can iPlay Music on an iPod?

Creating a self-study program for a musical instrument is always tricky... and while I've seen some pretty good attempts at online music lessons, my own bad personal experiences of trying to manage a guitar and instructional booklet while squinting at instructional video have kept me pretty skeptical.

Now iPlay Music, which makes some interesting karaoke-like video guitar lessons for DVD, allows users to subscribe to an iTunes video podcast and download specific song lessons.

Sounds interesting, it's but probably not the most useful approach for novices... And I think I'll leave the guitar-iPod balancing act to someone better coordinated than I.
