If you are learning the guitar as a beginner, as a slightly more advanced player or as someone coming back to playing the guitar, you can appreciate how frustrating it is learning the skills and techniques without seeing any noticeable results. The time and effort that many put into exercises don’t seem to be reflected in their standard of playing. There also seems to be a frustration in the lack of quality information on the market.
Ben Edwards and the team at Jamorama have bucked the trend with the latest version of Jamorama. They had considerable success with their first release of Jamorama, and given the positive feedback from the success of this package, the team decided to develop the product further. They have come up with a new package that is unrivalled in terms of quality and its comprehensive nature. This package truly does enable guitar students to accelerate their learning, and includes an impressive array of features.
In addition to the quality information in the glossy two book series, the team at Jamorama has spent 1,000s of hours developing 148 video examples and exercises so the student can hear and see exactly what they should be doing. The Jamorama team have also included two exaexclusive educational computer games to develop your skills in reading and training your ear to transcribe music. They also included the pro version of Jayde Musica and GuitEarIt! as free bonuses that give the student the ability to train their ear to recognize notes and transcribe songs from the radio. Both of these programs are very well made and presented, and most of all are easy and fun to play.
Add to this package the two additional free bonus ebooks "Advanced Learning Techniques for Guitar”.and “How to tune your guitar”. Advanced Techniques introduces the idea of mental visualization, which is a powerful tool in speeding up your rate of learning. Mental visualization uses the same pathways inside your brain other than the fact you are not performing the activity physically. The second bonus book, “How to tune your guitar” solves the problem with tuning guitars, and introduces the reader to the most effective way of tuning a guitar.
If that weren't already enough the Jamorama Metronone also comes with the package at no additional cost.
With all of the information in this package there really is no excuse to delay learning to play your guitar. The Jamorama team has given the reader four high quality books, two fun educational games and access the Jamorama forum with all the resources you need to play like a professional in no time.
This package is by far the most complete and fresh approach to guitar playing that I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend this product because I do believe it will deliver results and have you playing popular songs like a professional using the most effective techniques. There is something here for every guitar player, regardless of ability. And at the current cost, it really is worth every dollar spent!

| Guitar Super Stars
The guitar is one of the most popular instruments out there, incredibly satisfying to play well; however without the right tuition can be the hardest to learn, and that is where Guitar Superstars, the second of our online programs, stands out. This is a quality software based program, suitable for PC or Mac.
If you are starting from scratch, it is important to find the highest quality package you can and learn a solid foundation that you will allow you to build up your skill levels at a steady pace. There are hundreds of video lessons that cater to all skill levels, with 7 very experienced professional teachers, such as Ben Phillips who is a world renowned teacher who has tought and performed world wide, and very well thought of in the industry.

Learning with Guitar Superstars is a fun and exciting experience, with easy to follow step by step video tutorials and audio lessons which you can repeat at your own speed until you feel confident enough to go on..this course digs a little deeper than most, not only allowing you to learn and play along with a modern playlist, but also provides info on how to write your own tracks, and various ways to make money from playing guitar, such as teaching yourself, performing, recording and selling recordings online.
Priced at $67 at the time of this review, it is slightly dearer than Jamorama but is no doubt extremely comprehensive, and is always being updated with new videos...Guitar Superstars is a great product, and we enjoyed it a lot, so if you are interested in learning to play you should have a good look at it, regardless of your skill level or experience, as there is a wealth of information there!

"I feel that Guitar Success is a very thorough detailing of so many aspects of learning guitar across a wide range. Guitar Success will appeal to quite a few players that want a deeper and broader understanding of the guitar."
--Troy Stetina (Taught Creed's Guitarist Mark Tremonti)
"Thanks for such a comprehensive guitar course. I'm an adult player for the past few years, and there is so much useful information and lessons in your course. I'm happy I found your site."
--Mark Thompson, Texas
Dear Eric,
"This is both the most comprehensive and the best value guitar training I have seen. It goes into far more detail than most if not all other lesson materials on the market, yet the price undercuts the very least expensive of these. The lessons are thorough, yet organized in a logical progression, and are of a manageable size to assist incremental learning. The audio file is a very useful bonus, which acts as a model to assist learning, and helps the student to check their skills.
The offer of email support from the author makes the whole package exceptional, and early signs are that he is prompt and friendly
in email communications."
--Richard Ingram, Bath, United Kingdom
