JamPlay.com is hitting it big in the guitar world. Their website is a membership only service which broadcasts high-definition video guitar lessons. They have brought together guitar instruction with interactivity... even allowing you to ask questions to their video instructors. They feature 4-5 guitar instructors to give you a selection in teaching styles, which is a big plus.
They teach by "lesson set" instead of just dishing out a ton of small video clips. They start with the very basics like tuning your guitar, finger placement, and basic chords, and move on to finger-picking, palm muting, hammer ons, pull offs, and many more advanced topics. This methodical approach helps the guitar student from getting overwhelmed.
The other surprise is the low fee. Their monthly rate would not even get you ten minutes with most guitar teachers.
As the blues progressed through the 60s and 70s many non-black guitarists became very interested in the blues. Guitarists like Eric Clapton and Keith Richards were strongly influenced by the blues style.
Eric Clapton (born 30 March 1945) is an English blues-rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer. Although Clapton has varied his musical style throughout his career, it has always remained grounded in the blues.
Stevie Ray Vaughn (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was one of the great American blues-rock guitarists, whose broad appeal made him one of the most influential electric blues guitarist of the late 20th century. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Stevie Ray Vaughan #7 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, and Classic Rock Magazine ranked him #3 in their list of the 100 Wildest Guitar Heroes in 2007.
