Learning to play guitar is a time consuming and difficult job. Learning to play guitar requires a lot of dedication and hard work. Though this work is actually fun to 99% of aspiring guitarists. To learn to play the guitar you will need a great guitar teacher. Notice I said teacher and not player. There are many great guitar players I know that could not even teach you to hold a pick. I recently tried out Jamorama by Ben Edwards. As an already established guitar player I really enjoyed the 26 jam tracks and once you master the basics you will enjoy them too. But before you get onto that be sure to study the basics outlined in the course.

When you first start out in any guitar program no matter if it is online or offline make sure you completely master each lesson and idea before you move on. Without a solid foundation you will have nothing to fall back on for your basics of guitar. You do not want to develop bad habits and then have to try to change them years after you have been playing guitar. You would not believe how many guitar players I have seen make fundamentally wrong mistakes that have been playing for years.

There are 148 lessons in Jamorama. Ben Edwards is the creator of this online lesson series and was the lead guitarist in a band called Degreesk. His band traveled the world playing many tours and shows. He is now working full time as private and online guitar teacher. This course is designed to be a multimedia course so you can quickly learn guitar without spending a fortune. There is great step-by-step instruction that allows you to recognize the notes and be able to play the song later.

I found Jamorama to be a great learning tool and I recommend it to all my guitar students how want to further their studies at home. I actually use the gaming software that teaches note reading in my private guitar lessons to help students learn. I find this effective mainly for children.

Take some time to investigate Jamorama and other online guitar lessons. Do a few searches on Google, MSN or Yahoo and see what people are saying about this program and similar ones. Also get on the forums and ask questions about what beginner guitarists think about this program. I have been playing guitar for 7 years and have had many different private and online guitar teachers so my opinion might be a little different that new guitar players that have had no experience and are leaning everything for the first time.

The Jamorama site says that after you buy this program that you will not need to buy any software, lessons, videos or books again. I personally do not think this is true. Jamorama does not teach everything in the world about guitar, that would be impossible. But, if you did need to buy more guitar books or videos after you have mastered all the information in Jamorama you will be an elite guitar player. So having to buy more guitar book or videos or lessons would be a great problem to have.
