Best Money Ever Spent
I first bought a guitar about 20 years ago. Also a pile of instruction and song books. I put some effort into it, but it never took off. After a couple of years everything ended up in the attic. I'd been feeling the need for some kind of emotional outlet of late, and three months ago bought another guitar , spending more than perhaps a beginner should. Ended up with a Made in Mexico Martin that I couldn't be happier with. At first I noodled around on YouTube but found a lesson here and a lesson there from this guy, then that guy was random and had no structure. Then somehow I bumped into JamPlay. People seemed to like it, but I was ambivalent about spending more money. Then I figured, what the hell, it's now or never, and I only have to sign up for a month. So I took the plunge. I went to beginner lessons and started up with David Issacs. I'm fortunate to have the time to practice every day - and soon enough - much to my surprise, and thanks to David, I felt like I was playing the guitar. I followed through all 35 lessons, and often went back to review, as he suggests. I am still working on mastering all the material he presents in the lessons, and now often branch out to other teachers on JamPlay. David's Beginner Course gives you a solid foundation on which to build guitar skills. His teaching style is patient and encouraging, and he keeps you moving forward - mixes things up and always keeps it engaging. The format of video and audio works really well - it so great to be able to play along with a soundtrack. Can't say enough good things about this experience. It's changed my life, really. I used to write books, now I'm writing songs.
