As awesome as guitar playing is, at times it gets difficult if you’re not realizing the results you want to. While this is a common issue if you’re just starting out, even more experienced players go through this and it is hard to beat this problem. Believe me, I should know. I’ve been playing for 16 years, and while I’ve had a blast, sometimes I hit a wall. It can also be annoying when you’re trying to learn from less than stellar materials and courses. After coming across this package awhile back, I decided to write my own Jamorama review.
New Zealand guitar instructor Ben Edwards, along with the rest of the crew at Jamorama, have really been addressing these issues in the latest version of Jamorama. The first release they put together was a smashing success, but they’re trying to improve upon it with the latest version. In my humble opinion, they’ve put together a knock out package when it comes to quality and completeness. It’s got plenty of great features that will have newbies and professionals alike expanding their playing and taking their guitar skills to the next level.
So what’s inside? For starters you’ve got a heap of great guitar instruction in a glossy two book series, but my favorite part is the nearly 150 video examples and exercises they put in the course so the student can hear and see exactly what they should be doing. This is priceless… it’s great to read about guitar, but nothing beats an instructor showing you, up close from 2 different camera angles, how to play a chord or phrase. Another thing in this package (which I’ve never seen before, and I’ve reviewed tons of guitar products) are the two special computer games made to help your music reading and pitch recognition. Nice touch.
In addition to this they include the Pro version of GuitEarit and Jayde Musica! as free bonuses that will help you develop the ability to easily play songs after just hearing them on the radio. Both of these programs are excellent free bonuses, but more importantly they’re easy and fun to play.
These guys seem to really like hooking up bonuses, and to add to it they throw in 2 extra free ebooks. “Advanced Learning Techniques for Guitar” and “How to tune your guitar”. Advanced Techniques introduces the concept of mental visualization, which is will defintely speed up how quickly you learn~Advanced Techniques highlights the technique of mental visualization, an excellent idea for shortening the learning curve}~Advanced Techniques introduces the concept of mental visualization, which is will defintely speed up how quickly you learn~Advanced Techniques dives into the idea of mental visualization, which is actually a really cool trick for speeding up the learning process~Advanced Techniques highlights the technique of mental visualization, an excellent idea for shortening the learning curve}. This mental technique is like practicing, but you’re not actually playing. I thought this was a little hokey at first, but then I tried it and was actually really surprised how much it helped me speed up my own learning. The second bonus book, “How to tune your guitar” may seem basic, but it’s got some great information and a tip I’d never heard of before.
Extra bonuses? Oh yeah, they throw in a metronome for you, which is an essential practice tool.
With all of the high quality books, games, videos, and bonuses they give you with this package, I was impressed with Jamorama and have no problem recommending it to My Guitar Guide readers. I have been a guitarist for many many years, and if I got plenty of value from it then I know anyone will be able to. My only regret is that when I was first learning, the Internet wasn’t very big and I didn’t have access to this kind of stuff… but I guess there’s no better time to learn than today!
This package is by far the most complete and fresh approach to guitar playing that I have seen in a long time, and the subscribers of My Guitar Guide have rated it 5 stars as well. I highly recommend this product because I do believe it will deliver results and have you playing popular songs like a professional using the most effective techniques. There really is something for everyone, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro. And at the current cost… well, suffice it to say that you don’t need to waste your money on $200 guitar courses out there, Jamorama does an excellent job for under $50. I sincerely hope that this Jamorama review has helped clear up any questions you had, and that you can start using it to make your guitar playing better today.
