Online Guitar Courses - Choosing The Best Website For You

By: Wookie

When looking to master guitar, guitar courses can be rather hit or miss. Most times you just don't know what you are in for. When looking for the best guitar courses for you it is important to know what you want, and what the company is providing. The main things to watch for are:

* Skill Level : Is this suitable for my current ability?
* Videos : Most people find it easier to learn visually. If you are going to successfully learn guitar, video lessons are a must
* Audio : Do you get examples of what you are learning or are you just expected to read some guitar tab (common guitar notation) and work it out? Do you get backing tracks (music to play along to) to help you learn?
* Theory : Does this provide you with any grounding on WHY you are playing what you are playing?
* Technique : Does the package cover correct physical technique (this is more important than you think)
* Structure : Are you thrown into the deep end and just given a bunch of links to lessons, or does the guitar website give you a planned path through their guitar lessons that will help you learn faster? Just like in school, if you want to learn how to play you need a plan.
* Downloads : Are you supplied with any downloads, such as free software or e-books?
* Personal : Sometime you need a little personal help. Do you have access to anyone directly?
* Guarantee : If it's not what you want can you get a refund?
* Cost : Think you'll find a guitar course that is any good for free? Forget it. But some are more worthwhile than others and will help you play guitar faster than the others.


Three of the best available are:

* JamPlay - Jamplay is making a huge impact in the online guitar lesson world. Jamplay offers a membership only website which supplies high-definition video guitar lessons. They have brought together guitar instruction with interactivity... even allowing you to ask questions to their video instructors. They feature 17 guitar instructors (and growing) to give you a variety of teaching methods, which is a huge advantage.

* Jamorama - The Jamorama team have developed a new version of the very popular learn guitar course that has set the standard for online and downloadable guitar courses.
