In times we are all working from home due to the Corona virus, more and more training material is available online to learn us more via Youtube or websites. Museums offer free virtual tours via the internet and it all remind me so often to what CD-i had to offer in the ninetees. It is exactly what Philips wanted to bring added value to the CD-i platform: Edutainment was a keyword, CD-i was not a games console but a multimedia platform. One of the unique features of CD-i was its catalogue full of virtual trainings and virtual museums. CD-i member Jae65 shared with us this picture of the dutch course "Private lesson series: Classical Guitar". Philips teamed up with Sonic Images to bring several music lessons to CD-i and on top of that, they translated and dubbed it in several languages. So, thanks to Philips and Sonic Images we had a dutch course of the classical guitar, but they also released seperate courses to learn to play the rock guitar and the jazz guitar. And these course were also translated in german, french and spanish. If you want to learn to play guitar, CD-i had quite some learning material to offer.
These training discs were originally released in 1992 so the first release was in a vertical oriented long jewelcase. In 1994, Philips Media re-released the discs in a newer standard jewelcase.
