"I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!

"With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg

I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.
Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Love this stuff and was looking for this kind of teaching. Thank You Maybe I am missing something but the supplemental sheets does not follow with what you are teaching. It's close but is there another supplemental sheet that goes with this lesson?
Love the way you jump straight into cool stuff in these lessons.
Great lesson Paul :-) Enjoyed the bassline
In addition to supplemental content, your thoughts on soloing over this progression would be very interesting. Thanks.
Well, this lesson has been posted for over a month now and still no supplemental content. I love these lessons, but some of us still need that extra assistance. Please help us out. Thanks for the great set of lessons. Bob
Hello Paul, I am learning lots from your lessons here and in the arpeggio set. I agree with the others, supplemental content, especially for the G Jazz blues would be helpful. No need to hurry. Us theory geeks are OK with taking the time to explain the relationships in the chord progressions. You mentioned I got Rhythm; it would be great if you would use that as a basis for another lesson in this set. Thanks so much! Martin
Absolutely great lesson Paul! Thank you so much!
Me too. Thanks
I second the supplemental content addition. I find it very helpful & hope that you'll add it. The lesson is GREAT - I just need the supplement to reinforce.
Me too!
Paul, great lesson set. I'm looking forward to your supplemental content for lesson#5!
