How to Learn Blues Guitar Online in Simple and Easy
Steps...
Having tried a number of different methods to learn blues guitar
online, I was expecting Jamplay to simply be another sequence of
one blues guitar lesson after another, just kind of slapped
together and thrown up on a website. Boy was I wrong!
The first thing you’ll notice about Jamplay and what sets it
apart from other blues guitar lesson courses is the huge
volume of quality content available and the flexibility to plot
your own guided course.
Basically, what this means is you have the flexibility to select
the level of playing you want to tackle; pick an instructor that
most appeals to you; select the genre of music you are interested
in and any songs you would like to learn. Or you can simply follow
the Jamplay prescribed sequence. All of this is readily
available in your account and your progress is easily tracked, so
you won’t get lost along the way.
This degree of flexibility is Jamplay's greatest asset and what
really sets them apart. My personal journey with this
instrument is completely tailored for my specific ability,
preferences and goals. Each blues guitar lesson has a purpose
and takes me that much closer to where I want to be as a blues
guitarist.
For every blues guitar lesson, there is also a ton of support
available. Jamplay’s community features allow you to ask
questions on any specific blues lesson, which is answered by the
instructor, either on the forum or on the dedicated
blues lesson comments section.
There are also live web cam Q&A sessions that are scheduled
every week. It’s very inspiring and highly motivating being
able to interact and watch your instructor answer specific
questions while showing you exactly what you should be doing and
how best to do it.
Jamplay also differs from other blues guitar lessons offered
either online or as a package, in that this is a membership
website. They offer three different levels of membership:
monthly, quarterly and yearly. I began with a monthly
membership just to “test the waters”. It didn’t take
me long however, before I switched to the yearly membership,
since I knew I was going to be here for a long time. Plus
there is a significant saving by going with a yearly
plan. Which ever level of membership you choose, you can
cancel at anytime and the unused months you’ve paid for are
refunded.

It!"
I'm loving it!
Steve is great, and I have only looked briefly at some of the other
instructors, but am looking forward to learning from them. I have
been "playing" for 30 years, but always wanted to get serious and
learn the guitar. JamPlay is giving me that chance, as well as
taking away any excuses.
Thank you for
your service.

I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned and how far
I’ve progressed in such a short period of time since joining
Jamplay. It really helps to know what it is that you want
to accomplish and having the resources and
support readily available to make it happen.
Overall, I have to say that whether you’re a rank
beginner you just has a passion for the blues or someone with
years of experience and wants to try out a blues guitar lesson or
two, Jamplay has something to offer that won’t disappoint.
I’ve been a guitar enthusiast for over 15 years and blues lover my whole
life!
I’ve tried, on and off more times than I can count, to be able to play like some
of my all-time favorite blues legends such as B.B. King, Stevie Ray
Vaughan and Elmore James. The truth is, I still can’t play like them nor
at that level, but every day, I’m getting closer :-)
That’s why I created this website, to let every other aspiring
Blues guitarist know, that with enough time, effort and practice along
with the RIGHT kind of blues lesson, you really can become a truly
proficient blues guitarist.
I just want to tell you
that your site has revolutionized my guitar playing. I'm trying to do 2-3 lessons
per day and they are just so enjoyable and so very well done.
Wow! Ken D.
"It will be by far the best $100 I will spend
this year."
I love Jamplay. I love
Steve and Jim (The 2 I have taken lessons with so far). I love that I can learn at
home, at my own time and pace. The instruction is very clear and I love The
supplemental content pages. I love how I can keep track of where I am with the
Progress feature. It will be by far the best $100 I will spend this year. I can't
say enough good things about Jamplay. I would recommend it to everyone!! Thanks for
a great site and resource for a newbie like me. I really am enjoying it and have
learned SO much in the last 3 days!!!"
"All the instructors are
awesome!!"

community.All the instructors are awesome!! Learning alot faster than I ever have,

"I'll be with
you for a while"
Ye now
that I've had a look around and completed a few lessons with Jim Deeming I will
be moving from a monthly sub to a yearly one.I've looked at a lot of online
lesson web sites and yours is the most concise and to the point, so i'll be with
you for a while until nearly as good as Jim ( if i live that
long) Cheers, Steve
"Effective" Practice Makes Perfect...
"You gotta pay your dues if you wanna play the blues". That's so true. But, what
sort of blues guitar lesson should you be practicing or following? And when you sit
down with that chosen, sacred blues guitar lesson, how often should you practice
it? Doesn't practice make perfect? Wouldn't more practice make even more perfect?
(If there is such a thing.)
The problem that blues guitarists face is conflicting advice from different,
great guitar players. If you're a guitar player, you have heard and read every tale
of an accomplished guitarist's practice regimen. You've read about the brilliant
virtuoso who "never" practices. You've read about your favorite guitar player who,
when he is not recording an album or on tour, just picks up the guitar for perhaps
a half hour a day for his "own amusement". On the other hand, you have read about
that guy who walks around with his guitar strapped on all day. (That's Edward
VanHalen.) And you have read about that other guy who advocates that the guitar
player practice for 10 hours a day. (That's Steve Vai--who played the Devil's own
chosen blues guitar god...er, demon...in the blues guitar movie "Crossroads".)
Well, perhaps your blues guitar idols are just more talented, more gifted, than
you are. Or, maybe they clearly are possessed by some inner drive that you just
can't tap into. Right? Not really.
The key to having a great and effective blues guitar lesson for most of us is
neither total avoidance of practice (which is just a lie--there is no such thing as
any musician, anywhere, ever, who did not have to practice in some way or form) nor
is it fanatical devotion. Fanatical devotion on a regular basis paves the highway
to blues guitar Hell:tendinitis; burn-out; no time for food...
It is effective practice that makes perfect for the blues guitar player. What
would an effective blues guitar lesson session entail?
Your blues guitar lesson time needs to harmonize with your personal life.
If it doesn't, you will soon find yourself never practicing for real--because
your life will be getting in the way. Music should enhance, not take away, your
life.
Any blues guitar lesson that you undertake should be a joy. That doesn't
mean that there will never be frustration--and you should not try to avoid
that. But if you enjoy the learning process and you get something out of it,
that's what matters.
Your blues guitar lesson time must gradually, steadily lead you toward your
objective: to be able to play blues guitar as effectively in your own style as
you possibly can. This is a never-ending journey, by the way.
Your blues guitar practice time must be adaptable to your growth as a
musician. There cannot be a fixed, stringent regimen (unless you truly desire
one). Some people learn better through structured exercises, while others learn
best by practicing actual songs or improvising.
Above all, your blues guitar lesson is always about you. What do you want to
accomplish? How do you want to sound? Customize your practice to that and you
cannot fail.
