They charge $60 for a year, but if you catch a promo with Guitartricks or jamplay, you’ll get a yearly membership for $100. They don’t have any song lessons, which is a huge minus in my book.I won’t list the details, but if you have a look at the contents of their beginner’s lead course, you’ll see. They have just a few courses, and even those courses are not complete. If you compare the amount of lessons Jamorama, GuitarTricks and Jamplay has, you’ll see that Jamorama is nowhere.I had a good look around Jamorama, and to tell you the truth, it’s not looking very good: They launched the new site 2 months ago, and are now focusing on video lessons, just like Jamplay and Guitartricks. They used to sell a guitar lesson ebook which was created over a decade ago, so it was pretty old to say the least. Hey Jared, I just had a look at Jamorama recently, since they upgraded their offering not long ago. So anyhow, if you are an intermediate-advanced player, you will definitely be able to cherry-pick a few courses that will be interesting, but if you are looking for a structured approach to getting from A to B, I would say go with the other 2 big sites instead. They do have so called “learning paths”, where they give you the order in which you should tackle the separate courses, but those are just that, separate courses, so not really created with continuity in mind. So for example, if you click on blues courses, they have 116 individual blues courses. My problem with truefire is that they have so much stuff, that you get lost in their site. They have a a monthly plan as well, or actually 2 monthly plans. I have purchased a few courses from their site, which was a bit expensive, I think around $20 for a course. I don’t have that much experience with Trufire as with GuitarTricks or Jamplay though. I’m not going to start counting, that’s for sure. They claim to have 22,000+ lessons, and 400+ teachers. does indeed have lots and lots of lessons. His lessons are really good and his style of teaching is great as well, too bad he only has a few lessons. I need to mention a teacher from JamPlay who is just a thrill to watch, Marcello Berestovoy.This is a nice-to-have feature for advanced guitarists. These artist-teachers aren't really the best at teaching, since they are more artisty than teachery, but nevertheless, it's cool to see them teaching their own songs and techniques. JamPlay has a few teachers who are either solo artists or were even part of really big bands.I'm not much of an online community person, but I can see how some Facebook addicts might like this feature. You can contact other JamPlay members, so basically form your own little community.
The user account panel is more intuitive than on GuitarTricks.The production quality of the lessons is just beautiful, they really care about how their lessons look and feel.Let's have a look at a few more things that I noticed while using both sites, these may be of interest in your decision as well.Īs with GuitarTricks, there are a few things that are especially cool with JamPlay: Chord and scale library with deep explanationsĪs you can see, both websites are very similar, but you can still find differences beneath the hood.
