Hi Kegan,

Guitar tutors are super expensive I must agree. That is why JamPlay is a very good place for guitar lessons. Cheaper and you learn from your home.

Thanks for the comments,

Guitar tutors are SUPER expensive these days! Back when I started to learn it was only $12 a lesson - but we're talking the 80's, so times have changed.

Having a proper plan in place and the right approach to learning guitar is totally the right way to go. I think JamPlay is a good way to learn guitar and thanks for the discount codes!

Hi Jay,

It will depend on how motivated you are. I have seen some of my students did not take time to advance because they are passionate about learning how to play.

I toyed with the idea of playing a guitar after seeing my wife's uncles perform a few songs for us at our wedding a few years ago. One of her uncles is in the famous UK band UB40.

I didn't feel confident that I could learn and soon lost the motivation. After reading your post I can see that it would be possible to pick it up again. How long would it take me to learn to a decent level if I were to dedicate a few hours every weekend?

Hi Aaron,

I use to do guitar lessons but I stopped and recommended JamPlay to my students. It is more cost effective to them and the training is more structured than what I can teach them. They are happy because they can do it anytime they want in the comfort of their home. I took JamPlay lessons and my progress is faster.

Hey Den!

I wanted to offer some comments on your post for JamPlay. I am learning guitar myself so this was great to read and I can definitely relate to the issues your spoke about. This is definitely true of friends being guitar players not teachers! Overall the content is great, I was curious if you use JamPlay (I'm guessing you do) and how has your progress come along? Has it helped you progress pretty quickly?

Hi Bobby,

JamPlay is a very good website to learn to play guitar. Learning to play on an electric guitar is much easier than on an acoustic guitar because of string tension. It is painful to learn on an acoustic. Please check my post What is the Best Beginner Guitar for more information about this subject.

Thanks for the post! It seems JamPlay is a very good website to learn to play guitar. Question: is there a recommended style of guitar you recommend for learning? A lot of my friends who played in high school recommended acoustic but I wanted to know your thoughts. I got an electric guitar for Christmas a while back, but I'm not sure if it's the best for learning.

Hi Keith,

JamPlay is the best online resource to learn guitar these days. They have a thorough video based training plus they have interactive tabs and sheet music.

I've personally tried to learn guitar by myself by trying to read tabs, but It is not ideal long term. Having an experienced teacher is still the best, and now with so many on line options, like JamPlay which you recommend, it is definitely easier than trying to do it yourself. I am planning to enroll now as I can see the benefits form these structured training they offered.
