For playing along with a particular instrument, I've had luck with youtube
videos of people doing covers. You can hear the song in the background, the the
cover instrument iw prett prominent.
There are alos a lot of guitar lessons on youtube, some of them are pretty
descriptive. I'm starting to pick up guitar, so if I find any that are
particularly helpful, or find any VoicOver freindly resources I'll let you know.
