Jamorama Guitar Lessons for Beginners

Jamorama is a very popular guitar lessons course available online. It has already sold over 200,000 copies.
It is complete with ebooks, videos, and software. The ebooks it has to offer are for beginners as well as intermediate players.
The first ebook is basically all about learning the basics which include reading tabs and learning the major chords. If you want to learn guitar then it is best to start with the basics.
Learn them and then master them before moving onto more advanced skills such as playing by ear. So it is important to learn the A major through the G major chords.
Once you got the chords down you can play just about any song ever written. The chords are the basis for all music. Then there is a second ebook guiding you through some theory as well as more chords.
What I love about Jamorama is they touch on my favorite concept of guitar which is called the CAGED theory. This is the basis of chord theory and once you learn it will be become much better it soloing and knowing where the notes are on the fretboard.
Ideally when you learn guitar you are going to want to know as much as you can about the fretboard and learning the CAGED theory is the way to do it.
You will have a much better idea of how to improvise to songs. You will understand more about chord theory. There are lots of ways to play in the key of A or any key for that matter.
That is really what chord theory is all about. Anyway more on Jamorama. They also come with videos showing you the chord structures.
They have lots of cool licks to play as well if you are a more bluesy player. Jamorama does not really get into any particular style too much. They touch on Rock, Blues, Country, Reggae, Hip Hop, Metal, Funk, and Jazz. They do not go far past the strumming patterns for them. So do not expect a mastery of blues although they are affiliated with such courses if that interests you.
It is mainly for beginners who are just getting into guitar. There is plenty to learn especially about the CAGED theory.
They have some cool software as well. They have a software game called Guitearit. It is designed to train your ear so you can learn how to tell the difference between chords just by listening to them. Like I said playing by ear is a powerful skill to have as a musician.
The other cool piece of software they include in the package is called Jayde Music Pro. It is like the last one because it is like a game. Only this time it trains you for learning sheet music.
Other skills include learning how to keep time with a metronome and tuning your guitar. Before taking lessons like Jamorama I highly recommend you get a decent guitar. Do not spend less than a hundred bucks if you are serious about playing guitar long-term.
