The best in the online video group. We think Jamplay has established itself as one of the best sites for interactive video lessons teaching guitar on the web. It is an online membership website giving you unlimited immediate access to currently 389 hours of top quality video lessons that come at a very competitive price.
A very appealing aspect to Jamplay, is the access provided to a wide variety of guitar instructors that teach a diverse number of differing guitar styles. The teaching style is very professional but also comes across as being relaxed and personal to each member. As you would expect some of the lessons are extremely basic and very easy, then they rise in difficulty as your experience level also rises, to very difficult lessons. Experienced guitarists can also benefit from such a course.
As a learner on a guitar, one of the main aspects we feel is important is content. To that end, Jamplay has an awesome level of lessons available! In one place, the number of guitar video lessons available is simply mind boggling. If you were to go through them sequentially without repetition it would take nearly 400 hours. Another key aspect is the site organisation. The lessons are very well organised into understandable and thorough categories. On an ongoing basis, the team at Jamplay are adding new lessons to their database, and to give potential members a feel for what is on offer, there is a free section available, showing both the quality and accessibility of the videos.
Let's put this into context. You will not find a guitar teacher who can offer 36 different styles of music each with many years of experience. The cost of a single 1hr lesson from a guitar teacher would be more than the monthly subscription at Jamplay should you go down that avenue. The lesson would not be available for replay, unlike the online Jamplay video system giving access to a stunning library of choices. Furthermore, should you decide at any time to try a different style of learning, you can do so immediately. There are even brand new broadcasts every day.
Product Features
Jamplay's ongoing database currently logs 389 hours of guitar videos from 36 different guitar teachers. The monthly subscription is just under $20, which is the most amazing of bargain prices!
The video lessons are all filmed in HD using lots of different camera angles. This is very useful, as it gives you the ability to see the fretboard, right and left hand fingering and strum patterns for each lesson. Together with the video lesson are supplements comprising of lesson summary, diagrams of what is involved, guitar tablature and exercises. These are also instantly accessed and can be separately downloaded and printed should you wish. The main point though, is that they can be viewed online in your members area at any time and you do not need to spend hours downloading before you begin your training.
Most video lessons are setup as follows:
- Section 1: Overview for beginners
- Section 2: Style of music teaching
- Section 3: How to learn songs
Here are just some of Jamplay's numerous features:
