Guitar lessons in 2010 are going to be better than ever. From the ever-popular Jamorama online course to the step-by-step lessons on DVDs from Legacy Learning Systems, the choices are getting better and the programs are getting better too. Jamorama has made some awesome changes in the selections they offer – they even added a DVD version of their course for those who find the downloads a problem.

Online lessons or downloads of videos for learning are here to stay, but with many people preferring to use their new wide-screen TVs to view their guitar course, the DVDs remain a popular and beneficial choice. Why would DVDs be better? For one, you don’t have to view them from a computer, any DVD player will do. Also, you can view them on your television instead of your computer screen. This means you can set up a more comfortable spot to do your lessons (and possibly look forward to learning even more).

DVDs are a cool option if you ever want to take your guitar lessons on a trip or to a friend’s house – or to just not have to be sitting at a computer to practice with them. And the Learn and Master Guitar Jam along CDs are portable and easy to play anywhere, too.

Either choice is good – online lessons that you download or DVDs that are shipped to you – provide good beginner guitar lessons. If you want your lessons in 5 minutes, buy the online lessons and start downloading. If you prefer to use a DVD player you only need to wait a few days to get those lessons delivered.

As a choice in DVD guitar lessons, much can be said about the value in the Learn and Master Guitar lessons course. Steve Krenz is the teacher and along with Legacy Learning Systems (producers of professional training materials) this team has won many awards. Though it’s not the lowest priced course on the market, it is one of the most complete guitar learning programs available (with 20 DVDs and 5 Jam Along CDs, as well as a printed workbook and an online community to connect with other students and also with the teacher).

One of the top download sites is Jamorama. They have made a few changes for 2010 that are pretty exciting. The Standard course (which they are well-known for) is still being offered at a low price – an excellent choice for a total beginner. The great news is the new Deluxe Edition, designed for those who are looking ahead to being an intermediate or advanced guitarist (or for those who already play but want to improve and polish their skills). It has specific tips of playing acoustic guitar and the Deluxe edition will also allow you to learn riffs and electric lead guitar licks, as well as learn even more songs. And, the other new offering from Jamorama is their Hard Copy Edition which gives you all of the great downloads on DVDs. All three of the choices from Jamorama come with bonus guitar software programs – and the Deluxe and Hardcopy Editions include an additional bonus.

Either way you look at it, the money you will have to spend on guitar lessons is not nearly as costly as the blood, sweat and tears or the dedication and time you will spend learning. Your commitment is the real ingredients that you will need to invest so that you can learn to be a great guitar player.
