Of all of the online instructional courses available for guitar, Jamorama is one of the easiest to use. This course has been offered for years and has had excellent reviews from past students, some of whom learned all of their basics specifically from Jamorama. The lessons are constructed with beginners in mind, assuming the student has no former education in guitar. However, students who work through the course will go from beginner to intermediate-level guitar player, through course work and practice.
Features
The course of instruction is broken into forty-one lessons, which are divided into two books, which can be downloaded onto your computer. The books come with audio and video supportive material. There are over a hundred different video demonstrations available to back up the lessons, and to help the student understand and internalize technique. Some of the videos provide the opportunity to “jam” with the instructor. These high quality videos offer real life performance situations, in which the student has the opportunity to play alongside another guitarist. Beginners can choose the option to play the accompaniment, and more advanced students may choose to play the lead part of the jam.
Some extras are included with the course to facilitate and inspire learning:
• Guitar Tuner Pro. This is a quality item, an excellent digital tuner for your guitar, and a very important tool for any guitarist.
• Guitar Ear It! This tool helps the student develop the skills needed to identify chords.
• Jamorama Metronome. Every guitarist needs a metronome, physical or digital, to encourage accurate time and rhythm keeping.
• A trial subscription to songpond.com
Ease Of Use
Students have the option to download the course or order one to be shipped to their home. The downloadable version is more cost effective, and is easy and quick to install. However, whichever you choose, you will find the course user friendly, informative, and fun. This is the kind of combination that promises success. Orders can be placed at www.Jamorama.com.
Jamorama’s recent upgrades make the software very easy to use. Now, all supportive materials are available from the related lessons, making the site easily navigable.

Only a single file download will get you started, which will save time and have you playing guitar in no time. Software is available for the Mac or the PC.

Price
For the cost of two or three face to face lessons, this software can be yours, and you will receive much more instruction, at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. Students can go over a lesson over and over again if desired to perfect and technique, watch and pause an instructional video to pick up every detail, and the software is always available, not only during a scheduled lesson time.
Conclusion
Jamorama is a tried and true instructional course. At a competitive price, the software offers easy-to-use, understandable guitar instruction that even the most entry-level novice can understand. A student can take that guitar they bought on a whim, and learn to use it to create music and enjoy the instrument as it is meant to be enjoyed.
