Guitar Lessons in 2010 Have some Great Options
Guitar lessons in 2010 are going to be better than ever. From the ever-popular Jamorama online course to the step-by-step lessons on DVDs from Legacy Learning Systems, the choices are getting better and the programs are getting better too. Jamorama has made some awesome changes in the selections they offer – they even added a DVD version of their course for those who find the downloads a problem.
The immediacy of downloading online guitar lessons has made them very popular and they will continue to be a first choice for many new guitar players. But the choices between DVDs and online downloads has been expanded recently in that Jamorama has added DVDs as an option for their guitar lessons course. Another top selling DVD course from Legacy Learning Systems is still very desirable – the Learn and Master Guitar course – for those who want a step-by-step, easy to follow set of lessons and don’t want to download videos on their computer.
DVDs are a cool option if you ever want to take your guitar lessons on a trip or to a friend’s house – or to just not have to be sitting at a computer to practice with them. And the Learn and Master Guitar Jam along CDs are portable and easy to play anywhere, too.
Of course, there are several benefits with online lessons – they can be accessed immediately or viewed from any computer with the required capabilities. The better known downloadable courses are good for beginners (some even have free lessons to get you started). But it is great to know that there are more choices for DVDs in 2010 if you prefer having a course shipped to you on disks.
As a choice in DVD guitar lessons, much can be said about the value in the Learn and Master Guitar lessons course. Steve Krenz is the teacher and along with Legacy Learning Systems (producers of professional training materials) this team has won many awards. Though it’s not the lowest priced course on the market, it is one of the most complete guitar learning programs available (with 20 DVDs and 5 Jam Along CDs, as well as a printed workbook and an online community to connect with other students and also with the teacher).
If you have ever looked at the Jamorama guitar lessons website in the past, you may have felt confused about what their course includes (I know I have). For 2010, they have redesigned it and changed their course offerings to 3 clearly distinguishable lesson plans. The Standard Edition is the one they have been offering since 2005. But now they have an improved Advanced Edition (all of the standard edition with an extra software bonus and more intense intermediate and advanced lessons for playing acoustic guitar, plus special lesson for playing lead guitar and electric guitar riffs). They all come with books, too. And the best new option they have is a DVD and CD option so that you no longer are required to get the lessons by downloading everything.
When it comes to learning a life-long skill such as playing the guitar, it would be ideal if “money was no object.” Fortunately there are prices suited for any pocketbook – even when just comparing these two programs: Learn and Master Guitar or Jamorama. No matter what the cost is in dollars, nothing compares to the huge value to the new guitar student of having instruction that helps you begin playing guitar or options to enhance existing skills for those who want to improve as a guitarist.
