Guitar Course Reviews
Team Method Guitar
This course is taught by a team of guitar experts. They have specialists for acoustic, lead, theory and many more areas. By using a team approach the guitar player learns a variety of methods and styles and doesn't pick up bad habits or any one particular style.
Team method Guitar is also a MASSIVE course. There are six books with almost 500 pages of information, 10 DVDs and CDs with video lessons and play along jam tracks, several mini courses covering playing by ear and acoustic guitar, and several software games to speed learning.
The thing I found most impressive about this course is that you can actually talk to the guys who put the course together!
This is the Rolls Royce of guitar courses, and being at the top end of the market, it doesn't come cheap, but they do offer an "online-only" version of the course at a considerable discount.
Jamorama Guitar Learning Kit
The Jamorama Multimedia Course will comprehensively teach you everything you need to know to play guitar, from absolute beginner level, right through to being a professional guitarist.
They also included the pro version of Jayde Musica and GuitEarIt! as free bonuses that give the student the ability to train their ear to recognize notes and transcribe songs from the radio. Both of these programs are very well made and presented, and most of all are easy and fun to play.
With all of the information in this package there really is no excuse to delay learning to play your guitar. The Jamorama team has given the reader four high quality books, two fun educational games and access the Jamorama forum with all the resources you need to play like a professional in no time.
As well as the comprehensive Jamorama course, they also offer two specialist courses for those who want more focused tuition: Jamorama Acoustic and Jamorama Lead
This package is by far the most complete and fresh approach to guitar playing that I have seen in a long time. 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 is something here for every guitar player, regardless of ability. And at the current cost, it really is worth every dollar spent!
Unlock The Guitar
This is the wildcard in the bunch. It's not as comprehensive as the two listed above, but it focuses on the player who has been learning for a while, but is struggling to make progress. It concentrates on learning to play songs, rather than becoming an expert guitarist, and as such is perhaps more suited to the "hobby" player, rather than those with professional aspirations.
The course includes the new and revolutionary Muscle Memory Techniques, countless "Press & Listen" sound files (no downloading required), easy-to-understand chord charts, over 150 quality pictures, and step-by-step instructions anyone can follow - even I managed it!
The main idea of the course is that you can be up and running in a weekend. I think this is a little optimistic, but having tried it, it's true that this course is the best one to choose if you want to kick-start your guitar playing, and get to a good "beginner" standard very quickly.
If you want to be able to say "I can play guitar", and you want fast results, try it out now!
