Jamorama

Learn to Play Guitar with Jamorama is a collection of downloadable ebooks, games and video/audio files that comes with membership and a required fee. The ebooks include detailed and in-depth pictures and exercises with icons that inform you if there is an audio or video recording that goes along with the particular lesson. The well-designed games cover chord identification, sight-reading and pitch recognition. Jamorama lacks an animated fretboard, the ability to record performance, repetition looping, performance feedback and music tracking. Jamorama only offers email support for customer inquiries, but they are quick to respond and helpful. Unfortunately, you can not access any of the material from the members section until you download some of the content to your computer. We found the Jamorama material to include amusing and entertaining games and lessons for the beginning player, but lacking in advanced features for musicians that may want to record there own arrangements.

Guitar Scale Mastery

Guitar Scale Mastery is a system for helping intermediate guitarists learn and use scales to improve their musical knowledge. Many guitarists find it difficult to learn this side of mastering the guitar and this system promises a tried and tested method to learning the scales needed to become an advanced guitarist. The Guitar Scale Mastery course is accessed through a members' website to which you can buy instant access online. It has been developed by an experienced, degree-qualified guitarist who plays a variety of styles and also teaches students to play the guitar. Before you sign up to the membership you are sent a free e-book on learning scales just for entering your email address. The course consists of 5 different sections which build on each other to help you learn many different scales. Essentially the first 3 sections teach you scales on 1, 2 and 3 strings respectively, the fourth helps you to train your ear and the fifth teaches you to apply what you have learned in order to make music. Each section comes with tablature, diagrams and tips on mastering different aspects of learning scales. You are also provided with a number of practice exercises in each section to help reinforce what you have learned. Also included with the course are two extra bonus e-books. The first is a book on mastering the pentatonic scales which provides some music theory to help understand the scales and a lot of different exercises to help you practise them. The second is a book which teaches you about scale degrees and methods for visualizing them.

www.guitargnosis.com Tablature lesson which includes fingering and fretting available on the site, as well as the accompanying power tablature. Practicing scales is simply a matter of three different 'key steps', sans the actual theory and technique part. The technique will comes on its own with practice, and the theory of it….. well, the theory is already set in stone for you! Do you know how some guitarists get that 'doobladoobladoobla' high-pitched bumblebee-esque shredding sound? It's just a matter of playing scales (sometimes arpeggios) very fastly. With this lesson, you'll find the three basic 'hurdles' that are oftimes difficult to overcome when playing scales. I break it down into three basic steps 1: Finger shapes (fingering patterns) 2: String transitioning (or skipping) 3: Fret transitioning (or fret skipping) Practicing these three steps on their own, and then combining them all simultaneously is the path to becoming proficient with scales. Just practice these three things, simply add speed, and you're an instantaneous shredder. Seriously. There's not much to it. It's easier than you think!
