Jamplay Review
Course Details
Jamplay is a guitar lessons membership website that currently has over 20,859 minutes of guitar lessons from 29 different professional guitar instructors. Jamplay currently includes over 348 hours of video guitar lessons which range from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Each lesson is supplemented with a printable write up of tablature, chord charts and exercises.
The videos are filmed in high definition (HD) and include multiple camera angles so you can see the instructors strumming and fretting at the same time.
Jamplay regularly adds more lessons to its website database. These changes or additions can be seen on their homepage.
Jamplay divides most of its guitar lessons into 3 phases. Phase 1 is the ‘Basic Guitar Lessons For Beginners’. Phase 1 teaches you the absolute basics such as how to hold the guitar, finger positioning and placement, how to read tablature, how to tune your guitar and a lot more essential beginner material.
The 1st phase equips you with the knowledge to progress to Phase 2. Phase 2 is the ‘Genre Lessons And Advanced Seminars’. After mastering the material from phase 1, you can then progress to your preferred genre of music. Phase 2 assumes that you have a basic comprehension of the guitar, how to play the notes, how to correctly position your fingers and how to read tabs.
In Phase 2 you will also learn more advanced lessons.
Phase 3 then moves into ‘Learning Your Favorite Songs’. In this stage teachers teach students their favourite songs. As a member you can request a song (by email) and have a teacher take your request and teach you how to play that song.
Jamplay is not available for download and can only be accessed in the member’s area. They have a huge database of lessons and downloading all this content would take some time. You can, however, print the complete chord library and documentation from the lessons.
As Jamplay has lots of guitar instructors this means you can find a guitar teacher who you personally find teaches the best. This teaching format gives you multiple perspectives on how to play the guitar and gives you the chance to learn from a teacher you best understand and connect with.
