Lessons - Amazing and Comprehensive
This top
guitar source has just been updated. The amount of materials is almost overwhelmimg. At the same time it is so
well organised that you can hardly fail with this programme. I use it with students and it is perfect for
beginners and the more experienced alike.
I get approached by people all the time wanting me to market their
products, and believe me, it can get tiresome looking at the same type of stuff day after day. But this product has
me quite excited because it is so different from anything I have seen in a long time.
June 2010 Jamorama Report Update - I've just heard that even
more lessons and helps have been added to the package. I hope to take a look at them soon - either way you will be
playing carols for christmas if you start now. (Or anything else you fancy)
This package is so different from the monotony of product that comes
past me that it caught my attention from the beginning. Ben and the team have built on the already solid foundation
that they have in theirLearn to Play Guitar with Jamorama books, and developed their product further with the addition of several
exciting new products to further help budding musicians learn to play the guitar. The three books, Learn to Play Guitar with Jamorama for Beginners, Intermediate and
Advanced, are already proving to be one of the most popular guitar learning guides on the internet.
In addition to this, the Jamorama team have also developed two
exclusive computer games to aid learning of musical notes, both in transcribing and in reading written music.
These games make the monotony of learning to read music fun, and also enables students to develop their ear for
transcribing their favorite songs from the radio. Both games are well presented, and are invaluable in
developing the key skills necessary in being a better musician. Two bonus e-books have also been added, and these cover how to tune your guitar, and
techniques that will cut your learning time in half. A further bonus available to customers is a free online consultation to students who
may have specific concerns or problems to address. This is very popular with hard to solve problems. This package is impressive because it is one of the most complete packages regarding
the whole process of learning the guitar, from strumming, muting and bending, to timing, reading music and
transcribing. There are a few chord shapes I would do differently but that would be just picky. I really believe this package is at the very cutting edge of learning techniques for
guitar players. It is full of good quality information, and most importantly, it is applied in a manner that is
both fun and maximizes the learning progression of guitar students.
Pure Pitch was recommended to me by a friend in America.
The approach in the course is quite unique. In 35 years I have never come accross a guitar course that really
focusses on playing guitar by ear.
I am afraid I am one of those annoying people who can just pick up a
guitar or sit at a keyboard and play anything. Pure Pitch has explained to me what I do to acheive this. Imagine
yourself doing the same thing and you will appreciate the value of this course.
The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars is that I would say that
you do need some knowledge of guitar playing to get the full benefit of Pure Pitch. Even knowing just 10 chords
and some basic strumming patterns will be enough ground work for you to learn to play guitar by ear. This is a
great partner with the Top Recomendation Jamorama as they work well together even though they approach things in
very different ways.
For guitar players who can play a large range chords and hold down a good repertoire of songs
the Guitar Scale Mastery System is ideal.
It will take from being an ordinary player like everyone else you know to being able to play
with a range of options that few guitarists ever look into. Did you know that there are many versions of each
chord and scale. You do not have to stay in the first 4 frets of the fretboard.
By following the Guitar Scale Mastery System you will have a huge range of options when you
look at a new song. For songwriters you can write new and innovative riffs very easily with knowledge. When I
have been coaching a guitar pupil I am always trying to encourage them to experiment with the guitar and the
scales and chord shapes. This makes you a better guitar player. When the sheet music gives you the chords of E,
A and B yet again, you can actually play something original and interesting.
This short video shows you how to set up a simple beat using Dubturbo. Once you have a 2 bar pattern set up
you can increase the bar count to 16 or 32. This is great for practising licks and hooks on electric
guitar.
Its also
a great tool for creating new riffs and hooks.
DubTurbo is really targetted at making club beats, rap beats, hip hop beats and reggae beats. What
many people do not realise is that the software can also be used to make pop music, ballads, riffs and hooks. So
you can look on it as a notepad for ideas. Because it is so fast to set up and create music you do not forget those
ideas.
From a guitar player's point of view it is ideal because you do not need any keyboard playing or
drum playing ability to lay down a 12 bar or 16 bar pattern. It literally takes minutes. You can then loop the
music you have created and play along.
