Extra Tools

Jamplay also offers exceptional customized online tools for its learners and the list includes such features like online metronome, backing tracks, video demonstrations, chord and scale library and guitar tuner.

Lesson Format

Duration of Jamplay lessons vary from 15 minutes to one hour. Each of these high definition videos are available in flash video form and are shot from different angles to afford a better look at each hand of the instructor. While some of the videos may be viewed in full screen mode, none can be downloaded. This may be seen as a drawback of the site but it is a measure that is very useful in preventing piracy which is so rampant over the internet.

Each video lesson comes with added features like printable lesson plan, notations and tablature. Learners may also post their comments, write notes and direct their queries to the teachers as well as keep close track of their own progress graph.
