The Good: Jamorama does a tremendous job of teaching you to play guitar fast and effectively. The way the program is setup is very nice. It is essentially a flashy e-book made into a program, but it is much nicer and flashier than a regular e-book. You can download the lessons as you go or download them all at once. This is really convenient because I like the fact that users are able to download them at their own pace so they can make sure not to get ahead of themselves. There are videos and audio integrated into the program as well; this made everything much more convenient and was very easy to use.

I really liked the fact that there is both an online feature as well as the downloadable program. There is also a member's forum online; it was not exactly hopping, but there was definitely action going on and questions being asked/answered.


The Bad: One big thing about everything being downloaded is that users with dial up will have a big problem. The lessons are pretty large and will be frustrating to download over a 56k modem. A smaller thing that I noticed is that when you log into the member's area, it feels like they are trying kin of hard to sell you more stuff. You still get a whole lot with the main purchase and do not need these extras to enjoy the product.

The Bottom Line: Quite simply, Jamorama is a great system. You will be able to start from scratch learn the parts of the guitar, and be playing the guitar very quickly. The positive aspects definitely outshine the negative aspects of the program by a long shot, and make Jamorama one of the best guitar lesson programs you can get your hands on. While it may not be on the top of the list, it is a great choice if you are working on a bit of a budget.

Review SummaryLearn and Master Guitar by Steve Krenz is the ultimate guitar training program avialable. It comes with a 60 Day No Questions Asked Guarantee. It covers complete beginners to experts, fingerings, chords, advanced techniques, and is the closest thing to a personal tutor available. Simply put, it is professional guitar training.Providing an incredible e-book, video, audio and software materials, and corresponding lessons, Jamorama offers all of the training you will need to become a better guitar player. Whether you are new to guitar, or are a seasoned veteran, Jamorama will have you playing the guitar like a pro. A great low cost alternative.
Next Level Guitar is one of the top guitar lesson sites available. It has a lot of information available for you and while it is not the best option, it is still a good option.
This site is the creme de la creme. It offers a massive amount of high-quality materials at a great price. Included is multimedia, software, and a great e-book.
Sam Ash Music Institute has so much potential. It is setup great and offers the users everything in the perfect form. There was not as much emphasis on teaching the basics to music and teaching the popular songs instead.

Video Guitar Lessons achieves the goal of teaching people how to play guitar. It just does not do it quite as good as all the others. Their system is good with videos, but they don't offer enough ways to get the lessons across.

Jamorama is slick!

Written by Randy


Detailed Ratings
The Good: Jamorama's design is really slick. I love the way the program works. The way everything is built into it makes it ery convenient for me.

The Bad: The lessons are kind of large file sizes and I don't have the fastest internet, so that is a bit frusturating at times.

The Bottom Line: For the price, I don't think Jamorama can be beat. You get a great package that has really helped improve my playing quite rapidly.

Jamorama Rocks Your Socks

Written by Brad


Detailed Ratings
The Good: The Price! The price of Jamorama beats the heck out of the other stuff out there, and for the amount of information in there, it is a steal. Jamorama is definitely suited well for me; they put a lot of emphasis on playing songs that I know and like.

The Bad: I think a lot of people might be disappointed that there is not a whole lot of advanced stuff here. It works great for me, but I showed it to one of my friends that is a great guitarist and he told me that it will do good to get me playing, but will not make me great.

The Bottom Line: If you are like me and you don't have dreams of being a big musician, you just want to be able to casually play the guitar and kind of jam out to a lot of different songs, then Jamorama rocks!
