My Review Of Jamorama
This might be the only negative review you find on the web about Jamorama,
and I will tell you why I don’t think it’s as great as you read on all other review websites.
I am not saying that Jamorama is bad – it is just not what I expect from a good guitar learning course, and I want to tell you why I didn’t like it, so you can decide whether it is right for you:
What you get with the Jamorama course
You also get to download 148 video lessons, plus 16 audio ‘jam along’ tracks for the beginner book, and 10 audios for the advanced book. 148 video lessons sounds a lot, but the videos and audios are each only 1 minute long at the most! You also get a couple software bonus freebies. Actually, one of the three programs, Jaide, you can even download for free without buying the course (I give you the link below), so it’s not really a ‘bonus’. I don’t think the content of the program has changed since I got it, but I might be wrong. |
Here is how the Jamorama Learn Guitar course works:You read through your two 100 pages ebook, and click 148 times to watch the related video lesson or click a link to listen to an audio track with a recorded example of the exercise. In the video (which is only 1 minute long at the most) you just see and hear a hand strumming a guitar. That’s it. No guitar teacher talking to you. Your only ‘teacher’ is you yourself, reading through page after page of your ebook (either you have to print out or read on your screen). Nobody is ever explaining anything to you in the videos, it just shows the hand, strumming the guitar for a minute. There might be more online what I haven’t found, and I have not watched every single video, I only went through the first couple lessons before I returned it, so if I’m wrong, please leave me a comment and let me know. By the way, you can get a Spanish version of Jamorama, too. So it might be an option for you if you want to learn in Spanish, because I don’t think there is any other Spanish learn guitar course out there. |
What I liked…Well, it’s one of the cheapest guitar learning programs, but you get what you pay for |
What I didn’t like…I don’t like to read through a 100 page ebook and click 148 times to watch 148 different snippets of video of less than a minute length where you only see and hear a strumming hand. This is why Jamorama is not for me. A good guitar course to me means I can watch a video of 30 minutes to 1 hour length, like sitting in a session with a real guitar teacher. A video, where I can watch the guitar teacher speaking to me and explaining and showing me everything like a real guitar teacher would, and I can practice what he teaches without having to flip ebook pages on my computer screen and click videos all the time. I rather pop in a DVD, and sit comfortably in front of my big screen TV watching a whole guitar learning session. This is why I used Learn and Master Guitar to learn guitar which I think is a much better course than Jamorama. |
But don’t take my word for it – try some freebies from Jamorama and check it out for yourself

How Much Is It?While I’m writing this review, it is $39. (BTW: on their website you have to scroll down to see the actual $39, because it says $49 on top of the page, their little ‘marketing trick’) |
