"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

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Using the Soleares with the different strumming techniques was extremely helpful in expanding to the varieties of flamingo. It also provides a basis for experimentation from my varied studies to use. I feel your structure has a solid base to grow and create. Thank you!! and Gracias amigo!
Mario, I appreciate you using a starting foundation with the Soleares.
Dear Mario, Good lessons. Are you also planning to put some songs like the on in "Ciclone, Il, (The Cyclone) (1996)" and a famous actor played a song on guitar whihc also turns into a gun but cannot remember his name (relatively new movie) Regards Rama
