Jamorama Review: What I hate about it!

I have recently had a few visitors going through the free guitar lessons posted on my blog.  The one common question in comments was should they purchase Jamorama? Most of them have had tried some other online course and were disappointed so they were in a fix about Jamorama. So I decided to post a review of it including what I hate about it.

Well, here is my review of Jamorama.

What do you get:  84 lesson guitar learning course with three .pdf ebooks (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) plus sound files, 148 video lessons, and 16 jam tracks.  The entire course is designed by Ben Edwards who is himself an experienced expert!

The best part about Jamorama is that unlike other courses here you get video files too, these video files make learning a very easy job. You can hear and see how the guitar is actually being played and simply practice along.

The guitar lessons are designed in a manner that they teach you everything from how to hold guitar to how to play guitar like a pro.

Jamorama had a couple of very useful software. Like the

- Jayde Music: Jayde Music is a fun to use software that teaches how to read music. I have also followed a course on singing, so I know one of the best ways to learn music is to learn it by ear. Jamorama makes it very very simple with a fun filled game that will make transcribing songs an easy job.

I'll say that if you are just a beginner or at an intermediate level then Jamorama is the perfect course to start with. If you are somebody with a lot of experience and are looking to further improve yourself you can definitely expect some great stuff of the Jamorama advanced course.

There is an optional upgrade available with Jamorama, I suggest that you go for that. The lessons given out there perfectly complement the Jamorama courses and games. Infact I feel that Jamorama should have included it in the main course instead of putting it up as an optional upgrade.

Jamorama only offers email support for customer inquiries, but they are quick to respond and helpful. However what I hated was that, you can not access any of the material from the members section until you download some of the content to your computer. It is not a big deal but I would have preferred a complete online access.

Anyhow, thats it for Jamorama.

If I am asked to rate it, I will still give it five stars. It offers great value for money and they have provided an extensive level of support something that no one else does!

Good Luck!

Electric Guitar: Tips For Buyer

Now, there are two very important considerations when purchasing the perfect electrical guitar: price and sound.

Electrical guitars can be priced as low as ninety-nine dollars all the way up to twenty thousand dollars, so knowing your budget is crucial.

Unlike an acoustic guitar, electrical guitars require an amplifier to broadcast the guitar's sound. The sound for an electric guitar is generated when a musician plucks the strings and the vibration of the strings is transmitted through the pick-ups to the amplifier.

Regardless of whether you are looking to purchase an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar it is always advisable that you research thoroughly. Speak with employees of guitar shops and test every guitar you may be buying. Search the internet to decipher between the different manufacturers and models available until you are certain you have found the electric guitar of your dreams and then buy it!

A beginning guitarist should look for starter kits that will include a guitar, amplifier and some instruction books.

Do Daily Practice To Master Guitar

Most of the guitar lovers playing guitar for few years but still unsatisfied with their progress. They feel like still stand at the starting point and can't enjoy their playing. This mainly caused by most of them don't build up a strong foundation at the begining. I found that some of the guitar learners even just playing guitar for one to two years but are more better than so many that playing for over five years. This is the foundation problems. Me myself was an example when I started playing guitar long time ago.

Daily practice is the most important thing we should do.(Ex.fingers exercises, practice for the basic scales)I suggest that beginners practice PENTATONIC SCALES at the starting point because this scales are the most simple scales that only have 5 tones. Try to practice 20 to 30 minutes daily. Remember that even just 20 minutes of RELAX and CONCERNTRATION DAILY practice is more effective than few hours of unconstant practice.

Ear Training To Master Guitar

Ear training is a MUST basic training that every guitar learner should have. But most of them avoid this as quite a boring and time-consuming job. Without a good listening, we are unable to move to higher level.To overcome this problems, I suggest that guitar learners may choose one of the well known Ear Training software on internet. I found that there are few really good software that will improve your listening step by step and really FUN. You feel like playing game when you learn.

I do the research on guitar lessons from internet over 5 years for myself and my groups. I've spent a lot of money for it. Recently I just built up my own little web page telling guitar lovers a few good guitar lessons that really work and would like to share with all of you.

Training Your Ear For Guitar

Training your ear is like training your fingers on the guitar, it takes repetition, and it takes accuracy. Tuning your guitar every time you play is the simplest and most natural way to teach your ear what sounds good and not.

There are some excellent tools you can use in addition to just tuning your guitar regularly. My favorite is the Advanced Ear Training Software for musicians from Jana Software. For more about Jana Software make sure to check out the information on our main website.

Another strategy it to listen to your favorite recorded music. People tend to hear the music, what I am talking about is listening to the music. Focus on the sounds you hear and how they change. How the tones go up and down. Don’t worry about what key the song is in, or what notes is being played, just focus on the tones.

How To Design Your Guitar Training Routine

Having a balanced practice routine is essential if you want to become a versatile guitarist. If you just practice one ortwo things, sure you'll get great at those things...but you'll be weak in other key areas.

In this lesson you'll learn how to create a practice routine that is well-balanced and willhelp you work towards your ultimate vision of how you would like to play.

I generally categorise what I practice into one of seven areas:
Technique.
Repertoire (Covers).
Composition.
Improvisation.
Ear Training.
Theory.
Music Reading.

Everything that you practice will fit into one or more of the above areas. For example,if you are learning a very challenging cover tune by transcribing it off the CD you areessentially working on your technique, repertoire and ear training at the same time. Ifyou also write down the song in standard notation, you will also be developing yourmusic reading skills.

Learning Guitar Is Not Easy

If you want to learn to play the guitar, then you have to accept the fact that it will not be an easy job. Learning how to play the guitar will take most of your patience and your time. It can even take you away from your other hobbies.

A person who wants to learn guitar-playing should focus on understanding guitar concepts, proper practice techniques like focus and attention span and developing routines towards a better guitar-playing technique.

One must never try to aspire to be a guitar player if he does not have the desire to learn how to play the guitar. A person's desire or willingness to exert effort to learn guitar-playing can play a very big role in his success. If you are just playing the guitar for the heck of it or you are just doing the motions then you better review your priorities. If you are not really interested in guitar-playing but would just like to show off a new skill to your friend then you will only be frustrated later on.

Proper guitar playing is just a matter of letting your fingers learn and remember. Sometimes, your fingers become so rigid you cannot hold the proper strings but in due time, your fingers will remember and will magically play on its own. When this time comes, playing the guitar will no longer be an effort.
