Guitar Course
Is a Free Guitar Course Worth the Price
It is very difficult to find anything of value for free. The old saying, “There is no such thing as a free lunch” is quite true. Unfortunately in today’s marketplace, whether online or on Main Street, the word free is usually an enticement that means you are going to have to somehow spend money to get whatever it is that is advertised as free. This is not a bad thing, just a basic marketing technique.
There are many online guitar courses available today, some of them are very good, and there are some that not so good. I have found that most of the better online programs do offer free lessons to introduce you to the course in hopes that you will, after trying out their free guitar lessons, buy the course. The free guitar lessons are usually quite basic and contain just enough information to whet your appetite and introduce you to the training methods that will be used in the paid version of the course.
Supplying an option for an introductory free guitar course or lessons is a pretty good incentive and will probably entice the serious consumer who is on the fence about which course or program to buy. I know this because I recently purchased an online program that offered free guitar lessons, and that played a part in my decision.
As I mentioned earlier, I found three very good programs online, and each one offered free guitar lessons. Although all three programs were top notch, I considered each of these courses unique because they each had different formats as far as the delivery of instruction was concerned.
The first program, which is actually the one that I purchased, is called Jamorama and is a downloadable course that includes instructional e-books and videos. It is very affordable, quite well done and the best course of this type that I have seen. It was a great choice and has been a great program for my daughter.
The other two courses were similar in many respects. They are both, in my opinion, aimed at the more serious guitar players that realize that learning guitar is a lifelong pursuit.
One program offers 24 free guitar lessons with no other commitment required. This program is called Guitar Tricks and it is a membership site offering very good instruction by many accomplished guitar instructors. Their content and lessons are fresh and updated almost daily. They charge a small monthly fee for a good product and you can cancel at anytime.
Learn and Master Guitar is the third program and is definitely not for the casual guitar player. This is an award winning program that is well organized and covers all aspects of guitar instruction. The course is physically huge. You will receive a complete lesson book, up to 20 instructional “session” DVDs, and 5 play along CDs, and there is also more material available online. They have a member forum, very good support and a can be contacted easily by telephone. Their staff is courteous and knowledgeable.
Perhaps you are just looking for free guitar lessons, or you already have some experience and want seriously improve your guitar playing. Whatever your reasons, one of these programs will definitely fit your needs and budget.
