Jamorama Book 1 Review – Summary
So, I’ve now finished working though the first of the two instruction books that comprise the Jamorama online guitar lessons course (read more about each individual lesson in the book here). If you decide to get the course yourself, here’s what you’ll have learned by this point:
- Correct playing position
- How to look after your guitar and gear
- How to maintain your motivation, get the most from your practice sessions, and develop as a musician
- How to read chord diagrams, tab and simple traditional notation
- Notes and scales in the first position
- A variety of major, minor, dominant 7th and suspended chords, plus chord progressions
- Rhythm and lead guitar techniques
- Plus you’ll have practiced playing with a band in a variety of styles, via the jam tracks
Overall, I’m impressed with the Jamorama course so far. It’s not perfect – I’ve spotted a couple of typos, and the digital format has its limitations (like trying to follow the tab for the jam tracks when they take up more than one page – I recommend printing them out for easier reference). However, on the whole this is proving to be a high quality course that is easy and interesting to follow. The jam tracks and videos are well-produced, and really do make the learning process easier and more enjoyable – Jamorama doesn’t have the ‘dry’ quality of the tutor books that I used to use!
Best of all, you start to see results and progress pretty quickly, and at each stage along the way you play ‘real’ music, and not just exercises. By the end of Book 1 you’ll have made a lot of progress, and will be playing rhythm and lead patterns that will probably impress anyone listening, even though they’re not hugely difficult technically.
