Hi there my friend, welcome to my article, In this review I have made sure that you get some valuable information on some of the best online guitar courses available today and decide on which guitar course you can enroll for. So I request you to read this in full.
I am a guitarist trained through a private tutor, But now, since the advent of internet, online guitar courses or DVD courses are very much affordable, effective and interesting to learn. And above all, extremely convenient. If you are new to online guitar courses, I will give you run down on what they are all about. Online guitar Schools provide both online and offline lessons and other resources for their students for eg: online video lessons, ebooks, forums and interactive online lessons. There are separate lessons,tools and resources for different skill levels. So that you will only learn what you have to and won't jump into the higher levels before you are thorough with the basics.
Here is the list of the TOP 5 and Genuine Online Guitar Courses available today
#1 JamPlay
#2 Learn and Master Guitar(from Legacy Learning Systems)
#3 Guitar Tricks
#4 Jamorama
#5 Guitar Superstars
If we start with the Learn and Master Guitar, they ship all the course DVDs, CDs and Books through post that will reach your place in 3-14 days depending on your geographical location. All others provide their courses online and can be downloaded or accessed instantly. Learn and Master has a variety of courses like Learn and Master Piano, Learn and Master Drums etc, They have courses right from Guitar to Painting and Ball room dancing and their courses are of long duration, comprehensive,complete, and suited for children too. Learn and Master Guitar is best suited for Beginners and Intermediate level players for building a very good foundation. But it is not much suited for Advanced level players, as the progress is slower. Another disadvantage is that they provide only one instructor for Guitar. Where as JamPlay has over 20 instructors with expertise in their respective musical styles.
JamPlay offers the best and high quality video lessons through their website and each musical style is taught by a seperate instructor having in-depth genre expertise, And in terms of affordability and ease of use, Jam Play beats the pants off every other guitar courses.
But If you are an absolute beginner and don't want to whack off tons of bucks on a guitar course then there cannot be a more comprehensive and extremely affordable beginner course for beginners than Jamorama.
If you are more focused towards learning Rock N' Roll then Guitar Superstars is good, they provide 4 best guitar tutors who are highly specialized in their styles of music. Though Guitar Tricks is offering more than 45 teachers, the students can tend to get confused and lost by the number of tutors they have to deal with, the huge number of video lessons and an influx of course materials that they have to cover. But of course Guitar Tricks is very affordable.
All in all these courses rank high in terms of their training in one way or the other. But my pick for the top ranking guitar course would be JamPlay. Because they have the most rudimentary lessons for their students - right from picking up and holding the guitar to advanced techniques like hammer ons, palm muting, damping etc used in different styles of playing in an extremely affordable fees.
The main advantage of online guitar schools is that it is highly affordable compared to private tuition, convenient and fun to learn.
