I've just finished looking at Ben Edwards' latest developments to his guitar learning package, Jamorama - the Ultimate Guitar Learning Kit.

This product has me quite excited because it is so different from anything I have seen in a long time.

Ben and the team have built on the already solid foundation that they have in their Learn to Play Guitar with Jamorama books, and developed their product further with the addition of several exciting new products to further help budding musicians learn to play the guitar.

The three books, Learn to Play Guitar with Jamorama for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced, are already proving to be one of the most popular guitar learning guides on the internet.

In addition to this, the Jamorama team have also developed two exclusive computer games to aid learning of musical notes, both in transcribing and in reading written music. These games make the monotony of learning to read music fun, and also enables students to develop their ear for transcribing their favorite songs from the radio. Both games are well presented, and are invaluable in developing the key skills necessary in being a better musician.

Two bonus e-books have also been added, and these cover how to tune your guitar, and techniques that will cut your learning time in half.

A further bonus available to customers is a free online consultation to students who may have specific concerns or problems to address. This is very popular with hard to solve problems.

This package is impressive because it is one of the most complete packages regarding the whole process of learning the guitar, from strumming, muting and bending, to timing, reading music and transcribing.

I really believe this package is at the very cutting edge of learning techniques for guitar players. It is full of good quality information, and most importantly, it is applied in a manner that is both fun and maximizes the learning progression of guitar students.

Learning guitar chords, guitar scales, music theory, and guitar lessons all come with the territory of becoming a better guitar player. For some, this can become a tedious task. For others, the process of learning the guitar is an adventure. The issue for many, is how to make the journey of learning and practicing the guitar an enjoyable one.

Learning guitar scales is the only way for one to gain knowledge of melodic structure on the guitar fingerboard. Practicing scales develops left and right hand control, picking technique and awareness of factors such as strength and endurance. If one ever expects to engage in long melodic guitar solos, then practicing scales is the only vehicle to that end.

How often and how long should one practice playing guitar scales? It depends. Beginners should practice for at least one half hour to one hour daily. Experienced players should practice their scales at least one or two hours per day. How about the advanced professional players? Believe it or not, some guitarists practice five, six, and even seven hours per day (myself included, when performance is pending).

All of the information referenced above, also applies to learning and practicing guitar chords. New strength and endurance is realized as a result of dedicated practice of guitar chords. The left and right hands use muscles uniquely different from those utilized and developed by practicing and playing guitar scales. This is all part of necessary development as a guitarist. Guitar chords are essential in gaining awareness of harmonic structure on the guitar fingerboard. When melody meets harmony, beautiful music occurs. However, the real trick is the nexus between the two. Enter the dragon; music theory.

As a guitar instructor (35 years), I would approximate that at least 80% of all of my students (intermediates and professional players) become very nervous when they take the plunge into learning music theory. Especially music theory designed exclusively for the guitar. Perhaps they were confused in the past when confronted with the college blackboard. I'll bet many readers remember sitting in music class and wondering what the professor meant by all of those chalk marks and symbols that were drawn on the blackboard. This for many, was very intimidating. Further, many can not make the transition between the blackboard and the guitar fingerboard. I have great news. It's really not difficult at all. In fact, theory is simple when presented and taught in a logical, step-by-step manner. Therein lies the problem. There aren't many guitar lessons or guitar instructors available that have a professional and contemporary approach for someone who desires to advance their guitar skills and knowledge of music theory.

Are guitar lessons essential? Once again, it depends. We've all heard the stories of certain guitar players who rose to the top of the charts without ever taking a guitar lesson earlier in life. This is my favorite type of success story. Why? Because whenever an individual listens and follows his/her inner calling, it's always a good thing. Many would call it faith (myself included). Others would call it luck (myself included). Some would insist that it is a result of education (myself included). Further, there are those that would call it hard work (myself included). One thing is for sure; there is no magic wand involved here. Mastering any instrument requires a burning desire and an absolute commitment to achieve a desired result.

It really doesn't matter what your level of musicianship is. What matters is defining your goals as a guitarist. Is your desire, as a guitarist, to be able to play a few songs around the campfire(or wherever)? If so, any local music store will provide you with a guitar instructor who can help you attain that goal. Do you envision yourself playing for thousands of fans in a major concert arena? If so, then seek out the type of educational resources that will help you to achieve that particular level of musicianship and knowledge of music theory. Be very accurate with your goals and desires. Don't waste time. Life is short. Live it.

No matter what your goal as a guitarist, it all starts with the practice of guitar chords and guitar scales. Remember, a good foundation is essential. Become strong as a player. Educate yourself. Believe me, your audience will appreciate your hard work.

Playing

I'm not going to kid you; playing guitar is extremely difficult at best and almost downright impossible at worst. I am not just talking about picking up the guitar and playing a few songs I am talking about real practicing for the environment that you will eventually be playing in which is, of course, in an ensemble with other musicians who we hope will always be better than you.

In this world with all kinds of styles of music and bands, finding someone to teach you what you really dream of playing is kind of tough. The problem is finding a teacher who'll give you a good guitar lesson that doesn't include all the stuff that really doesn't matter when it comes down to just playing a song.

What's interesting is you can use the note intervals of whatever mode you're playing and use each note as a starting point for the next mode in sequence. The students who work hard on this area of their playing always do better than those who don't. Your playing will open up to a diverse range of styles.

Learning

I have found that learning to play guitar is like many other activities. The main considerations in choosing guitar gifts are experience level, style of music preferred, and what gear and learning material they already own. A person can get along fine these days by learning a few chords and knowing how to read tab, right.The traditional way of learning guitar is by taking private lessons from a guitar teacher.

The array of choices is staggering, ranging from free online guitar lessons, to high-end distance learning guitar instruction leading to a certificate from Berklee College of Music,. The best and easiest path to becoming a competent guitar player is by learning some chords and then applying them to learning the rhythm parts of songs. Chord Diagrams are the single most powerful tool for learning and improving your guitar playing.

Practice

There are many principles involved in an effective practice session and I think some of these are a motivation founded on a love and passion for the music you can produce on the guitar, an acceptance of the fact that you must practice on that technical level you have reached, a working knowledge of muscle tensions and how to minimize them when you play and how to work on reducing them when you don't play. Is there a best way to practice on your guitar? If you decide on an electric guitar, then you'll want to purchase a practice amp too.

The most basic requisite is that you want to learn this art and with this desire you will find ways to practice improvisation in all your guitar playing. For example, take a two bar passage in a classical guitar piece that you like and practice it until you master it and then memorize it. The remedy for this is of course to practice reading the sheet music without looking at the fretboard.

Tuning

By cleaning your strings you not only increase their tuning life but they will retain their crisp, bell-like tone for longer. Worn strings are by far the most common cause of a bad tone and contribute to a lot of tuning problems. I have always used pitch pipes, and great though automatic tuners are, you cannot beat the training given by tuning the guitar with just a pipe and your ears.

Some things on guitar can be learned in minutes, some in days, and others in weeks, but tuning will sometimes take even longer, because you have to train your ears. In order to keep the string in place during tuning (winding) put a ½" 90 degree bend at the end of the string with a pair of pliers.
