Some of the teachers are far better musicians than they are at teaching. So, you will encounter inconsistencies which may be frustrating. The support is great though and they answer my questions quickly and they try to be thorough. Sometimes you'll have to use the loop function if you can't understand what was said. Tabs are provided but tabs don't convey the kind of bounce that the lick or section needs. And a teacher can breeze pass that a tad fast if you're not fully ready yet--not their fault, but there should be integrated illustrations and there aren't.. Thankfully the loop function is there and you can examine and keep examining until you get it. The written music is not always done by the teacher either so there may be discrepancies. I suggest using every tool on the web plus Guitar Pro along with JamPlay. There's room for improvement in JamPlay but this is much better than trying to learn from a book, DVD or a poor lesson on YouTube. Jamplay is money well spent (as long as you put in the effort and not just the money)..

I am a new to guitar and have learned so much in a very short time. There are many great instructors and finding matches to my learning styles and music tastes has been easy. The best thing about jamplay is the convenience of being able to get instruction at any time of the day and at home. I also like the live chat sessions with the instructors and other jamplay members. I am just finishing up on phase one for beginners and am looking forward to progressing to phase two and beyond now that I have a solid grounding in guitar basics.

When I first joined in 2010 Jamplay was great. Lots of lessons, numerous JamChat sessions. And generally a smooth running web site. Lately (last few months) the quality of the experience has dropped significantly in the following ways: 1.) Service has been spotty. Their forum has been up and down and their Jamchats also have had problems recently. This wasn't the case when I first joined. 2.) Many new lessons are added each week but the variety is not great. As as example, Don Ross started a series which hasn't been updated since March although numerous other instructors have had many lessons added. They need to distribute their lessons a bit more equitably. 3) You need a fairly powerful/new machine to avoid audio/visual lag when viewing lessons otherwise it is hard to watch. 4) Security is too tight for a non-financial site. If you use the site several times a day you have to keep logging back in. I like Jamplay and will continue to be a member but they do need to resolve these issues

I had done guitar lessons for a few years earlier and was never motivated and didnt learn very much because of that. One month on Jamplay the I was better then the 3 years of lessons. Thats not to say this site is magic, there is no easy way to learning the guitar. But the resources and community of Jamplay make it fun to learn and progress. In my opinion the Jamchat alone is almost worth the price of admission. You really feel that the journey is in your own hands and you can go down any path you feel.

I've been trying to learn guitar for just about three years now and I'm not the best. I'm in college doing a HNC in music performance and with that I have regular guitar lessons, and it helped me form a band. In college I've had two guitar tutors and I feel like with a few lessons on jamplay, I'm learning more than I ever have with them (it's safe to say I'm learning more with it than when I was self taught too x3). To me, this is a great resource for learning guitar and for brushing up on skills. It works for anyone whether you're a beginner that's never picked up a guitar, or someone like me who just needed improving in many aspects. I'd most certainly recommend jamplay to anyone trying to learn guitar and I'm definitely going to keep using it myself. Let's see how far this year's subscription can take me!

This is an awesome program! I love it so many great guitarists and styles of music to learn to play! I am hooked.

After spending years just picking up this or that via free tablature and not really having any specific purpose or direction, but really wanting to get better, I stumbled across a review of this JamPlay.com website. There was a post by an older gentlemen who had been frustrated for years, and signed up with JamPlay and it has only gotten better for him. I saw the demo videos and had to try it myself. I am NOT disappointed and have been practicing more than I have in a while since I am back to enjoy learning my instrument and loving it again. If you want to learn as a complete beginner, are stuck in a spot like I was or just need some new material to spark your passion again, learn with Jamplay, and even offer advice in the forums for those that have a desire to know what you may know and help the community grow. All I will say is you gotta at least try it. Seriously.

Jamplay provides more fresh material than you can keep up with. The variety of tools that are provided to help you along you way is its success. Jamplay, keep driving for excellence!
