Jamorama, a Rock Star Recipes guitar course, is one of the more established guitar courses.

Top Features

The Jamorama guitar lessons are text based supported by images of real players, video lessons, and audio tracks. Sign up for the free introductory lessons that take you from how to hold the guitar to playing along with a virtual band featuring the rock classic Midnight Special.

The guitar course's 250 plus page instruction book included in your subscription, and downloadable as a pdf, is a clear step by step program that covers all the basics of reading tabs and chord diagrams, as well as picking and strumming techniques. It takes you through over 148 high quality video lessons covering eight major styles of music, over 200 chords and 55 strumming patterns.

In addition, Jamorama’s guitar courses provide an assortment of software designed to supplement your learning process. The software package includes games that help your reading skills in traditional notation, and techniques for developing your ear. You also receive a guitar tuner and a metronome. We especially like the complementary chord book with real pictures of the hands, not just the lines and squiggles of a black and white diagram.

Jamorama also offers you some lesson support. Check out their blog with course updates, specials, and tips. It’s also worthwhile to spend some time on their active user-based forums. Here you can pick up extra tips on the guitar, and read other students’ feedback and questions about the program.
