The down side to this online guitar lessons course is there is just a ton of content and not every beginner guitarist wants to learn every single thing there is to know about the guitar.

Jamorama is an online guitar lesson course which is downloaded after purchase and used on your local computer. This is the online online guitar course in our top 5 which isn’t entirely video based.

The beginner lessons are a mixture of PDF lesson book and video clips to explain each new skill and technique. This may be ideal for some learners, most beginners we’ve worked with enjoy full video instruction much better leaving the lesson books for practice time only.

Besides the fact of being a downloaded course it’s also reasonably expensive costing almost $200, making Jamorama the most expensive online guitar lessons we reviewed.
