If the Internet was born before me I probably would have been a well informed baby who knew how to find information fast, but it wasn't...
I used years trying to learn how to play this $25 second-hand guitar I bought when I was 14 back in the mid '70ties.
Nobody in my town offered guitar lessons so I went to the library and found a book with a few chords in it and I practiced and practiced day in and day out.
The same three chords over and over again! If I knew then what I just found out recently, that I only have to open Google and enter something like: "Learn how to play guitar" and press search...

000.
000 million search results! Sure - they are not relevant all of them, but an overwhelming part of them are! So I looked at some of them and there were so many of them that I almost couldn't decide which one to buy.
After weeks of thinking and searching I finally found something promising: Jamorama Guitar.
If my memory doesn't fail I think it was less than $50 or so.
Peanuts compared to one single guitar lesson which costs more! I have used so much money on teachers that I get sick in my stomach just by thinking about it! This program has all I needed and I guess there is material for hundreds of lessons - that means money saved! It is a lot more convenient to turn the computer on and watch a few lessons rather than traveling 10 miles in a bus with your guitar, get a lesson and then travel all the way back home.
There are a lot of programs out there and I sure haven't tried them all and I don't want to either.
A lot of them looks really great and so does this Jamorama package.
I will not go into details as there are so many reviews on the Internet, I will only say that if you are really interested in learning to play guitar, this is the way to go.
It saves you money as well as time.
