Hi and welcome

So you are looking to learn how to play or improve your guitar playing. You have no doubt been searching online looking for best value for your money.

I can see you are a little bemused by all the products you have been presented with. Some claim to teach you to play within hours others say they can take you from guitar bum to hero in just days.

Can they do this? Well there's the question

Here is where we come in MyHonestReview is here to help you sort the truth from all the marketing hype.

Before you ask Yes I am real guitar players in fact I play in a band and I have looked at the programs and used them to offten to improve my own playing.

The recommendations are based on what I have found that works and enables you as a guitar player to improve you're playing. As with all things you need to practice and put the hours in if you want to sound like Eric Clapton, Johnny lee Hooker or Jimmy Hendrix.

So without any more lip flapping from me lets get to the courses.

Jamorama Review

Quick Overview

Jamorama is a well thought out and put together pack and is aimed at the beginner to intermediate guitar player.

As for cost it is extremely good value at $39.95 / £21 approx; this is less than one 1 to 1 lesson with a guitar tutor. If you were to go to lessons you would spend approximately $600 / £315 to get to the same level of playing ability.

Out of all the general non style specific courses I have tried this is possibly the best all round package.

Playing through the Blues

Learn how to play Blues lead guitar.

I love to play the Blues, I am not great at it but I can listen to Eric Clapton, Johnny Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf all night.

To that end I after much research I purchased Playing Through the Blues to try and get Blues lead playing nailed down.

It is produced by a great blues guitar teacher called Griff Hamlin and takes the form of an e-book backed up by loads of audio tracks and over an hour of strait to the point videos taking you through each chapter.

By the time you work your way through the course you will have 3 great sounding solos under your belt and a mass of blues knowledge to help you make the most out of playing the blues.

What it gives you is the building blocks to creating your own solos on the fly so your can jam and improvise with the best of them.

What's more it's great value at $37 / £20 appox less than the cost of 1 one to one lesson. It comes with the usual money back guaranty but I am sure you will not need it.
