A Review of Jam Guitar DVD Lessons

Five CDs allow you to “jam along” with an actual band, using the very same songs you’ll be learning in your lessons. There’s no better way to learn than by playing, and there’s no way to play that’s more fun than jamming with a band. The lessons for Superstitious and Cold Shot are longer on the DVD and have more instructions on how to play those songs, compared to the website versions. Otherwise, the DVD’s include the same material as on this website. Lessons logs, common chords and scales, and useful tips are also included.

Your lesson will begin with the very basics of guitar playing like tuning the guitar, hand positions and holding the pick. You will then progress into detailed lessons explaining the entire fretboard, Major, Minor and 7th Chords, Scales,Rock and Blues progressions. If you are a beginning guitarist looking to learn to play along with your favorite songs in a few short lessons, then Learning Guitar Step 1 is for you!
The biggest downfall to using a guitar instructional DVD, rather then taking lesson is there’s no one there to ask questions to if you get stuck. If you have the option of asking question in a support forum online then you basically have your every own instructor. Mostly because for only a slightly higher price you get a twice the number of DVD’s, and 3 times the amount of lesson material. But you can find information about the smaller version of the course on the Learn & Master Guitar Website. You acquire media once (mp3’s, midi, lyrics, tab, lessons etc.) and store in Jam Manager. Spend more time playing, less time hunting for your tools!
