Best Learn to Play Like a Pro Courses:
Reviews of Rocket Piano and Jamorama

The Good
I enjoyed this review the most because I had the most to prove to myself with this product. If you are learning the guitar as a beginner, like myself, or as a slightly more advanced player or as someone coming back to playing the guitar, you can appreciate how frustrating it is learning the skills and techniques. It's intimidating!

Besides the wonderful "Jamorama" software, you also get two additional free bonus ebooks "Advanced Learning Techniques for Guitar” and “How to tune your guitar”. Advanced Techniques introduces the idea of mental visualization, which is a powerful tool in speeding up your rate of learning. The second bonus book, “How to tune your guitar”, solves the problem with tuning guitars, and introduces the reader to the most effective way of tuning a guitar. Both will work wonders for your guitar playing skills!

The Bad
My only complaint is that the Members Area is way too overcrowded, so it can be a bit difficult to find the resources you want to use. It could be better organized.

But hey, better too much information than too little, right? You definitely get your money's worth!

The Free
You can sign up for a very comprehensive introduction to guitar playing for free. Well worth it.

RATING: Try the free course, then definitely BUY It. The free, 5-part newsletter is great, but the full package is a home run. Interactive fun and insight galore.

The Good
In addition to the quality information in the glossy 3 book series, Rocket Piano includes hundreds of sound files that explain how to play, so you can hear what your playing is supposed to sound like. The songs are broken down into pieces, which enables the student to learn each piece before they are ready to tackle the whole song. Being able to play these songs will amaze friends and acquaintances alike, and this is made easy through the hundreds of lines of music included for your benefit.

The Bad
If there's one downside, it's perhaps that the course doesn't really take you to "virtuoso" level. Additionally, the Members Area could be better organized.

The Free
A very decent e-course is available free of charge right here. It will teach you a lot about not only the various piano keys, but also about piano theory and history. It's quite interesting.

RATING: Why Not Buy It? The free newsletter series is quite interesting and useful, and for $39.95, you really can't go wrong with the full package. There's always the money-back guarantee that they DO HONOR if you're not happy. Start learning to play the piano today!
