A look inside Jamorama Jamorama review
I've seen Jamorama become the most popular guitar learning course on the web.
Now, just because something's really popular, doesn't necessarily mean it's good
for you. So, I decided to take a closer look to see if it met the following important criteria:
1) Gives you the freedom to experiment with your own style of guitar playing
2) Inexpensive, good value for money and free introductory lessons (why should you have to pay for any guitar
lessons before you get a taste for their style of teaching?)
3) In depth multimedia based lessons - clear video, audio, software and a bit of good old text! Most of the guitar courses on the web fall short of these 3 points, and
only attract impatient guitarists with a "quick-fix" mentality. A good guitarist this maketh not.
Ben and the guys at Jamorama have aimed to fulfill those three criteria
and have created an exceptional, well rounded guitar learning course
without you having to fork out
for an expensive personal tutor. Let's take a cheeky look inside Jamorama...

Jamorama's multi-screen videos
I've seen a lot of so-called "video guitar lessons"
that are unclear, unfocussed and, quite frankly, useless! Why? It's
always the same problems - the tutor in the video will blitz through
the lesson too quick, talking over their playing and the awkward camera
angles mean you can't absorb what the hell they're playing anyway. It all
just becomes a confusing mess!
What the guys at Jamorama have done is acknowledge those common
problems and put video into a crystal clear, multi-angled format.
Simple...

Couldn't get much clearer than that, could it? It's one of the things
that has pushed Jamorama above the competition. Simple, but very
effective. The video library is segmented throughout the course itself and associated videos are conveniently a click away on lesson pages.

Jam tracks - the essence of Jamorama
Jamorama has become hugely popular because of its
jam-along tracks. Learn the techniques, then put them to use by jamming
with a real band!
As Ben points out in a video on the Jamorama homepage:
|
"You can sit in your bedroom and learn drills, theory and skills as
long as you want... but what's the point if you don't take those skills
and put them into practise, and into context?" |
He's talking about writing your own songs, or at least jamming along
with a real band. Jamorama has one of the best collection of jam tracks
to let you do just that.
The techniques you learn in the course can be applied over the jam
tracks. Burn them to CD if you're not going to be playing near your
computer!

There's plenty of variety in the track library, across several musical
genres, to experiment with your new found playing skills. A particularly useful feature is you can turn the guitar track off and jam
along with the drummer and bassist or you can leave the guitar
track playing and provide a solo or extra rhythm guitar to the mix.

Jamorama's lesson structure
 The
Jamorama guitar course takes you step-by-step from absolute beginner
through to intermediate with a solid introduction to advanced techniques. A lot of courses out there just have a
"library" of lessons, with no goals or clear path for beginners to
follow. It's important that you don't get lost or confused at this
stage of learning, and you know where you're going
next with Jamorama's clear lesson plan.
One thing I appreciate about Jamorama is that it doesn't rush
you. It doesn't pretend that "learning in one weekend" is somehow the
most important thing here. It allows you to develop your guitar playing
at your own pace, through logical stages of progression.
