Putting it simply: Learn and
Master Guitar emerged from our test as the King of "learn guitar at
home" courses.
With 20 full-length DVDs stocked with
excellent video files, 110 high quality jam tracks and a very
effective workbook, the program is by far the most comprehensive
program we tested. However, its forte is even more in the Quality
of the material than in its Quantity. It is very
effective, and easily wins our #1 ranking, even at its admittedly
high price.
Learn and Master Guitar is a very well
structured program. It combines a workbook full of text and
pictures, with visual and audio training via DVDs. Everything falls
neatly into place, blending fun with results. The program enables a
complete novice to start playing almost instantly, while allowing a
seasoned pro to run through it the umpteenth time, honing his/her
guitar playing skills and constantly improving.
The program is based on three massive
pillars:
-
The 110 Jam-Along tracks
are a real treat. Similar to those in Jamorama, these "active"
tracks enable you to play the tracks
with the lead guitar track turned on, off, or at
partial volume. The tracks for beginners songs also enable
playing each song at slow, medium or fast pace. This enables you
to progress gradually from following and imitating the lead
guitarist (slow speed, guitar track turned on), to playing lead
guitar by yourself (guitar track turned off, medium or full
speed), even ad-libbing with the bass and drums backing you up.
Probably the nicest part comes after you master the skills, play
the songs at full speed with the guitar track on again and try
to
outplay
the lead guitarist.
Keeping with this course's high level of execution, the band
used for the Jam Tracks is amazing. For example, the keyboard
player is Dino Pastin, formerly part of the super-group Alabama;
The drummer is Javier Solis, who played and recorded with
countless famous musicians (Usher, Kenny Loggins...). Such
professionals are EXPENSIVE, but the makers of this course
certainly did not skimp on quality.
-
The DVDs are the best we've
seen on any program. Period. These 20
DVDs contain numerous tracks covering 20 sessions (about 20
hours of content!), that teach just about any thinkable subject
connected to guitar playing. Although initial learning is quick
and you learn to play guitar very quickly, there are so many
lessons, tips and tricks that the DVDs cover a full year's worth
of lessons (and that's before you start going through them a
second time).
-
The thick and fully illustrated
book complements the DVDs beautifully. Although this course
naturally revolves around the DVDs, the course's book alone
can be considered as the best book or eBook course we tested.
We truly admire its thoroughness.
(more about the DVDs and book later)
-
Although this course is based on
physical DVDs, CDs and book, it also provides access to an
online members area containing excellent supplemental
material. This section enables you to learn to play new songs
and music, read guitar tabs, and learn tips and tricks.
-
The members area also provides a
members forum for you to communicate with fellow guitar
students and post your questions to the course organizers and
professional musicians.
-
The course
includes Lifetime Membership and Lifetime Updates
to the members section. Additionally, it includes an effective
Live Help Line via the members forum.
The DVDs and book teach you gradually,
step-by-step, everything about guitar playing: how to hold the
guitar and a pick, basic and advanced chords, chord
substitution, strumming, hammer-ons, pull-offs, advanced bends, the
Eddie Van Halen technique, the Merle Travis Technique, fingerstyle
secrets, arpeggios, Blues notes and Blues chord progressions, Jazz
chords and Jazz chord progressions, Country Bends and fast Chicken
Picken, Funk and R&B guitar and muting techniques... The list is
endless...
The course also teaches you how to train your ear, how to read sheet
music and guitar tabs, how to play solo guitar using any part of the
neck, how to play Blues solos, how to play Jazz solos, and most
importantly - how to develop your own unique style for playing
lead guitar. What's more, besides teaching "how to" techniques
the program is packed with music theory, guitar playing tips and
tricks, and you can immediately practice everything you learn
by playing great songs.
Maybe the best indication for the
excellence of this program is that the experts have
accumulated countless hours using this program, and still find
themselves practicing with it, constantly improving and gaining new
insights,
tips and tricks. Except
for the excellent Jamorama, no other program we tested comes close.
Learn and Master Guitar is the most expensive Guitar Lessons
course we tested, but it is also the best. If you absolutely cannot
afford the price - read on the following reviews. However, if you
take your guitar playing seriously we think the program is almost a
must-have. If you want the best program but can't shell
out
the course price all at once, we recommend
that you still buy this program, using an easy payment plan,
or try register to the site's mailing list and try waiting for one
of their 3-day sales. For the price of a
few guitar lessons, you obtain a course that will provide
both fun and learning for years to come.
