Still here? Ok, here’s my full Jamplay Review:

I’ve been playing guitar for many years, and I’ve been writing for MyGuitarGuide.com (the site you’re on now!) for a few years. I review tons of guitars and guitar products, and recently I came across JamPlay. Since I’ve done lots of other “Learn Guitar Online” product reviews, I thought it was natural that I do Jamplay Review.

Overview of Jamplay

Jamplay isn’t a Guitar Course that you buy. You basically subscribe to it for a little under $20 a month and you get access to everything. What is everything? Well, at the time of this writing that means 370+ hours of video lessons from 34 different guitar teachers. They shoot everything in HD from multiple camera angels so you can see what that instructor is doing with both hands.

Price

It’s $19.95 per month, but it gets cheaper if you sign up for a longer term.

Features

Ah, here’s where we get into the good stuff Some of my favorite parts of Jamplay are the chord library, the ability to interact with the instructors, the music learning games, the social section (think Facebook for guitarists), and the fact that they are constantly adding lessons and you can easily check out the newest ones. Whew, that was a mouthfull, but those are my favorite Jamply features!

Support

Good. The offer email support, but my favorite is to use the forum and get answers from people who have been members for awhile. If you just need something simple, you can use the Q&A section they have setup. The Q&A section is cool because it’s a series of videos that answer all your guitar questions. Nice.

Ease of Use

Very easy to use. Pretty much all the lessons are video, which makes it really easy to follow along. The website it very clearly laid out, and it’s easy to navigate

Warranty

Jamplay does offer a warranty. It’s a full money back deal, so if you don’t like it all you have to do is let them know within 7 days of your purchase and they’ll refund your money without any hassle or sales pressure bullsh*t.

Downsides

This is not a good option if you have slow or dial-up internet connection. If that’s you, we recommend Jamorama

JamPlay vs Guitar Tricks ?

Ok, I get lots of emails where people ask me “Should I get Jamplay or Guitar Tricks?” If you haven’t heard, GuitarTricks.com is another Online guitar lesson website. I lean toward GuitarTricks if you’re comparing the two – I feel that they’ve got a more ‘polished’ and professional product. The good news for you is that Guitar Tricks and Jamplay are in direct competition, and this causes them both to constantly update their product and make improvements all the time, with the consumer as the ultimate winner.

Conclusion

Jamplay is a very complete, constantly expanding online guitar course. They are always expanding the number of lessons they offer, and you can learn a ton regardless of your skill level.
