Alright Long Story Short, I'm pretty much done with almost all of the lessons taught from Justinguitar. com. Great lessons, Great teacher, Great that it's free, definitely go check out the site for those who haven't yet. Also, some martyzsongs lessons on youtube, etc. Originally, I was planning on using the little limited budget that I've saved up to purchase a guitar book (e.g: The Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick), but then I came across this site called "JamPlay" (www. jamplay. com), and which I could purchase to get a monthly membership in a decent price just a little bit more than purchasing for a guitar book. Besides, I "personally" found it more effective for myself learning from a video/ reading off the screen like Justin's site than a book. Point is, does anyone here knows this site "JamPlay" and would recommend it? if not, anyone got a better site similar to "JamPlay" where you could get as many lessons as you like by paying monthly fee?

Hi Jimmy25, well the old adage about giving someone a fish to eat and them eating for a day whereas teach them how to fish and they eat for life applies here!

Why be at the mercy of these companies waiting for next weeks, or next months lesson? where you are only getting little titbits of the real meal and getting a product that will do little to improve you as a musician.

My advice? invest in something like "The Guitar Compendium: The Praxis System" by Howard Roberts and really learn about the nuts and bolts of what you need to have in order to excel on the instrument. Scales, chords, arpeggio's, musicianship, harmony etc. etc. this is what you need. IMO forget about these flashy net sites that want to charge you and really have no substance and start educating yourself elsewhere.
