Guitar Lesson News for 2010

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.

With the growth of the internet and the speed of newer computer, online guitar lessons are here to stay. These can be problematic, for reasons such as getting confused with which video follows the one you started with and they require a fast computer so that the videos play correctly. DVDs are a great option for several reasons - you don't spend time downloading and you don't even have to be connected to the internet or use a computer at all. This is why Legacy Learning Systems has had such success with their course, Learn and Master Guitar. But now, Jamorama has released all of their lesson on DVDs too! Like I said, 2010 is a good year for learning to play the guitar.

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.

Overview of the top courses - Learn and Master Guitar is a DVD course with tons of lessons and some great bonuses. I recommend the advanced course with 20 DVDs of lessons which clearly demonstrate what you need to do for each part of the instructions. In addition, there are 5 CDs that you "jam along" to a real band. This helps you to learn to play songs up to speed in "real time" and it's good practice for playing the guitar with friends. There is also a student book and an online community to be able to communicate with other students (and with the teacher of the course). This is not the cheapest option on the market, but it is definitely one of the best and they do have a money back guarantee for those who just aren't sure it is the perfect guitar lesson choice.

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.

The dollar amount that is spent on lessons is but a small price to pay to get someone started. The real investment - the one that will cost more and be of the greatest value - is the time a student takes to practice and perfect their skills. That main ingredient - a passion for playing the guitar - will make just about any type of guitar lessons be the "right" one to produce a good guitar player.
