Hey guys,
One of the things that really impressed me about Jamorama is that it not only teaches you how to play guitar but also gives you a solid foundation in music theory.
It does this by introducing you to the concepts of music theory as you go through the guitar lessons such as what the various symbols in sheet music mean (Treble Cleff, Crotchet, Quaver etc.) and many of the guitar tabs are accompanied by the corresponding music score.
These concepts are introduced slowly that you don’t feel too overwhelmed but still feel as though you’re learning something new - for me, learning music began to feel enjoyable unlike the stuffy music lessons I remember from back in my school days.
As an added bonus, the guys at Jamorama provide a free copy of Jayde Musica Pro with their guitar course.
This is a fun game that teaches you how to read music whilst you’re enjoying yourself. A note or series of notes are played and then their musical notation moves across the screen from right to left. Your task is to click the corresponding note or notes (A, B, C, D, E, F or G) before the score hits the far left of the screen. You have three lives and the more notes you guess right, the more points you get – my eldest son (who is also learning guitar with Jamorama) and I are in a constant battle to get our name’s to the top of the high score table!
As well as the guitar lessons and the opportunity to learn music theory, there’s a lot more to Jamorama (check out my review here) and it’s well worth taking a look at.
