The Best Online Country Guitar Lessons

There are two primary places to take country guitar lessons online. The first is Jamplay.com and the second is GutiarTricks.com. Both sites offer an in depth country guitar lessons course along with beginner primer lessons if needed.

Below is our comparison of these two guitar lessons online sites and their country guitar lessons curriculum.

Quantity of Lessons

As of right now (March 2011) JamPlay has 31 lessons in their country guitar lessons category compared to well over 100 different lessons at GuitarTricks.com. In terms of sheer lesson count Guitar Tricks has JamPlay beat.

Instructors

It makes sense that since Guitar Tricks has more then three times the lesson content of JamPlay that they would also have more country guitar instructors and this is true. Right now Guitar Tricks has three featured country guitar lesson instructors while JamPlay only has one.

Variety of Topics Covered

Guitar Tricks covers a wide array of country guitar topics in their 100+ lessons from beginner chords and rhythms to advanced bends, stops and licks.

Not to dismiss JamPlay here who also covers a wide array of topics how ever the list of lessons included in their country guitar lesson category appears geared more towards an intermediate player who wants to learn country guitar licks. I like JamPlay and consider them to offer the best online guitar lessons all around, how ever for country specific not so much.

Over all I believe the country guitar lessons offered at Guitar Tricks cover a wider variety of topics for players of all skill levels who want to learn country guitar.

Other Features

Both GuitarTricks and JamPlay offer a variety of chord and scale catalogs for pracitcing as well as multiple backing tracks which you can play either from their website or download to your computer to practice along with.

In addition to backing tracks both websites offer a long list of specific song lessons. This is the fastest growing category at GuitarTricks.com right now as they’re adding new songs every month.

JamPlay offers daily online webcam sessions four times a day. These are one hours sessions led by one of the forty plus professional instructors on staff at JamPlay. While these sessions are directly related to country guitar they are a place to pick up new techniques and tips.

Over all JamPlay offers a few more bells and whistles outside of their country guitar lessons.

Pricing

Right now you can try GuitarTricks risk free for 14 days. After 14 days if you want to remain a full member of their website it will cost your $14.95 a month.

In comparison JamPlay costs $19.95 a month but we have a special Jamplay coupon code for our website visitors that will save you 25% off your first month (See this page for the coupon code).

Conclusion

With the larger catalog of country guitar lessons, more instructors and a 14 day free trial we feel that Guitar Tricks is the best bet for online country guitar lessons.
