Guitar Lessons in 2010 Have some Great Options

By Elizabeth Gibson

2010 is going to be a great year for anyone who wants to buy guitar lessons. Online lessons are still very popular, but several new DVD courses are available. The two top selling courses come from Jamorama (the makers of a well-known online course) and Legacy Learning Systems, who creators of a great DVD guitar lesson course. Later in this article some of the recent changes going on at Jamorama will be explained.

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.

Why I think many people choose guitar lessons on DVDs is the fact that they want to get away from their computer to practice their guitar lessons. With DVDs you can take them to whatever place you have a TV and DVD player, or you can take them over to a friend's place. They even can be carried along with you on a vacation.

I am not saying that online lessons are not good - they are great! Some can be confusing though if the program is not designed well. For example, some don't make it clear enough which lesson to take when. All in all, for a beginner guitar player, any of the well-known lessons are a good start. And it is nice to know there is a choice between online or DVDs for those who don't have a newer, faster computer.

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.

Either way you look at it, the money you will have to spend on guitar lessons is not nearly as costly as the blood, sweat and tears or the dedication and time you will spend learning. Your commitment is the real ingredients that you will need to invest so that you can learn to be a great guitar player. - 18762
