Just came across another new guitar lesson product today. I think it may have been out for a while now but thought I should let you all know about it none the less.
The program is samilessons.com they’re dubbing themselves “personalized online guitar lessons”. I don’t think personalized is the exact term they should use because I’m pretty sure the lessons you’re going to be purchasing are not personalized but rather personal… as in one-on-one.
I went through their sales letter and took a peek at the quality of the demo video on their sale page. The lesson quality looks similar to other programs I’ve come across. They are covering differing styles and they appear to be teaching you by learning song parts, of course this is just from the basic demo video I was able to catch.
Like most of these programs they all have some merit to be able to teach you guitar if you’re willing to put the effort in. The question that I always ask is how difficult do they make it to learn the basic guitar skills such as notes on the string, major and minor chords, barre chords etc.
If a program is using say the CAGED guitar system, well that’s a big plus in my opinion. I like that system as a method of learning to play guitar and it simplifies how much and what you have to memorize.
