How
about trying out 70 instructors -
-
in your house -
for
free!
Hi.
My name is Jim Deeming. I'm a fingerstyle guitar player,
performer, and instructor.
In
a minute, I'm going to tell you about a whole new way to
learn guitar. But first,
let
me
tell you
why I
never
liked
"regular"
guitar lessons.
For
about $25 (or more) you can get a 30 minute lesson - usually
scheduled for once a week.
Here's how the typical lesson
goes -
After
getting organized, fingers warmed up and guitars tuned, you're
lucky if there's 15 minutes of actual work time.
Now
divide that time into three parts:
-
five minutes to review last week
-
five minutes to solve problems
-
five minutes to learn new material
Now
you're on your own for a
week to thrash around trying
to remember what the instructor said, or how something
was supposed to be played.
If
it didn't sink in the first time,
you can get help next week -
- for
another $25.
Cha-ching!
I
don't know about you, but that's not a very good
deal in my book. Frankly, as an instructor I felt
bad enough about
the "system" that I simply got out of
it for quite awhile. I don't like to say "no",
but over the last few years
I turned down a lot of requests for
lessons.
Well
now that's all changed...
I'm
excited to tell you I've found a way to get the
best bang for the buck - so excited, in fact, that
I've signed on as an instructor.
It's
an internet-based "online" system that has the
best of everything:
-
Professionally filmed video instruction
-
All levels, from beginner to advanced
-
Multiple instructors - 70 and counting -
to choose from (or watch them all!)
-
Multiple styles to study, from bluegrass,
fingerstyle, blues, classical, jazz to rock and metal.
-
Supplemental content including tablature, chord charts and
instructor notes.
-
Interactive Q&A. Instructors can
address questions either in recorded
video, discussion forums, or
even live video sessions.
-
Request and learn specific songs.
-
Nearly 4,000 HD multi-camera, professionally produced instructional videos. More
are being added every week!
And
access to the entire site is yours
for a montly subscription that is less than
the cost of a single private lesson !
I
am so excited about what these folks
have to offer that I've signed on to be an instructor.
In addition to "Phase
1" beginner lessons, I am teaching fingerstyle lessons from beginner
to advanced, plus adding
specific song
tutorials of arrangements from guitar giants like
-
Chet Atkins
-
Jerry Reed
-
Tommy Emmanuel
-
Doyle Dykes
and
others.
Maybe
you are a self-starter and you've begun collecting expensive
instructional videos and DVDs. Some of these are very good,
but each DVD is going to run you $30 to $40 and may contain
60 to 90 minutes of material.
The
trouble is they are limited
in what they can cover so they tend to be either
too simple or too advanced for many students.
And other than the pause
and rewind button, they can hardly be called "interactive".
On
JamPlay.com you
can ask questions and get answers in a variety of
ways, including email, forum posts, a live chat room,
or even video-taped answers from one of the instructors. If you have
a webcam, you can even show an instructor what you're working on and
get personalized help.
And here's a special
instructor's offer from me to get you started:
Click on this link to
JamPlay when you sign up and you can use the full site
FREE for seven days!
Here's
what just a few of my students have had to say:
Jim - I'm very new
to the site...and can't thank you enough for the lessons.
I'm advancing at a pace even I thought
wasn't possible, and for that, I am extremely appreciative.
I'm really enoying the process - Adam
I just wanted
to let you know that this is what I was looking for.
I bought
a starter guitar to try to learn and I bought some books
but nothing made a connection until I found Jim Deeming
at Jam Play. I had previously signed up for another web
site and the guy could hardly talk because he was so
nervous with the camera and he jumped all over the place.
Nothing made sense to me and I was getting discouraged.
The video quality was poor and it took forever to load.
Good thing it didn't cost much because it's not worth
much. The videos you have are outstanding and Jim is
great! I am sure that all of the other instructors are
just as good but, I chose to start with Jim because he
has a "I want to teach you what I Love to do" appeal.
I should be practicing but I just wanted to let you know
that I like the site so far and say THANKS! - Jeff
Now that i've
had a look around and completed a few lessons with
Jim Deeming
I will be moving from a monthly sub to a yearly one.I've
looked at a lot of online lesson web sites and yours
is the most concise and to the point, so i'll be with
you for a while until nearly as good as Jim ( if i live
that long) -
Cheers Steve
I've been trying
to play guitar for about 1 yr. I have several guitar
teaching programs, Learn and master guitar, Guitar method
one, Guitar Magic III, to name a few. I have learned
a lot from these programs especially Learn and master
guitar. I practice two three hrs. daily. The repetition
can be pretty boring. When I was surfing and found JamPlay
I didn't expect much, There are so many sites that say
they can teach you how to play guitar, but I have found
that you have to already know how play guitar to understand
what they are talking about after a couple of lesson.
I want to tell you I am really glad I tried JamPlay!
I have taking lessons from Jim Deeming, and he has made
the learning process so much more interesting and he
gives practice information that I don't think you you
will find anywhere else. I'm only on the twelfth lesson
so far, and I have greater understanding how music works.
I already knew how read music and know the notes on first
position and some bar chords, haven't learned tab yet.
I'm not trying to blow my horn about what I know, what
I trying to say is with all practice and lessons I have
in the past, it wasn't until I joined JamPlay and I started
taking lessons from Jim Deeming that it all starting
making sense, now I have got my enthusiasm back and can't
wait to get to the next lesson. I hope the other instructors
are as informative, when I get to them. I also like to
say my guitar stays in tune, with minimum tweaking since
I followed Jim Deeming instructions on how to string
a guitar. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
JAMPLAY!
Thanks, James I.
Thank you. I want
to tell you that your web site design is absolutely great.
I knew what I was looking at, I could figure out where
I wanted to go. I was amazed at the amount of lessons
that have things I want to know.
I signed up for the monthly membership the first time
I visited the site. The video answer question section is
beyond anything I expected. I watched the Jim Deeming Concert
video and couldn't turn it off. Thank you for quality like
this and I appreciate that the teachers and their humor.
Good
Luck to you all. I will tell my friends about your web
site. - Ellen
