Learning the play the guitar was always a dream for me and I’ve found the place to make that dream come true Jamorama .

My father played the acoustic guitar, he could hear it and play it, blues, simple easy songs, some rock, country, and gospel.  I always wanted to learn how to play on the guitar just like him but he wasn’t willing to be a teacher. 

My husband used to strum the guitar and played the song Telstar but as soon as I said I wanted to learn, he stopped, so he wasn’t my teacher. 

I was looking for someone to teach me how to play chords, give me tips, and tutor me.{  I heard about Fender guitars and Gibson electric and acoustic guitars, and they all sounded great, but I didn’t need a name guitar just something simple}.

Who do you think is the greatest, Eric Clapton, the Eagles, or Duane Eddy the list of great guitarists goes on and on. Just like Jerry Lee Lewis, he’s one of a kind at what he does (can he ever play the piano), but I would never be able to do that.

Is that what you think?Don’t give up on your dreams of learning the skill of playing the guitar and giving yourself a sense of accomplishment?  Don’t do that.

If the guitar is something you want to learn to play, well do it!!! 

By the way did you know Waylon Jennings was Buddy Holly’s bass player?  Piece of trivia..

Well I found something that looks like it can teach even me.  It’s called Jamorama, put together by a guy named Ben Edwards.

Check it out, you will be glad you did Jamorama.  Nothing to lose as he has a 100% 8 week money back guarantee with no hassle refund.

Ben says he can have you playing in 5 minutes, that would be great.  He promises to teach you real skills with Jamorama.

Bass is an important component of music, it’s always been that way for both the music of yesterday and the modern music of today. Whether it’s the big bowed orchestral bass, the huge bass pipes of a cathedral organ or the ultra low warm sound of a vintage synth bass, the bass line serves as a root and foundation for most music. We tend to notice the emptiness of when music lacks a bass line or implicit bass line. With styles of popular music changing and evolving, plus the increasing demands of the working musician for portability, playability and loud volume, there was a strong need for a new type of bass instrument. The electric bass guitar was created to fulfill these needs.

Bass guitars have been around since the 1930′s though not quite in the exact same form as the Fender bass guitars that we know today, but you could say that their predecessors, the acoustic Basses, have been around for many years longer.  The electric bass guitar offered a distinct change from the sounds that people had grown accustomed to hearing from previous upright basses. With it’s guitar like playing position the electric bass guitar differed from the hard to carry acoustic bass, electric bass strings also were not bowed like those of an acoustic and offered musicians a relatively easier to play and use highly portable instrument. From a distance, the electric bass guitar could easily be mistaken for an electric guitar as the both look very similar with the same solid body shape, however the bass usually has a longer neck. Also, unlike an acoustic guitar which is hollow, with a sound hole to allow for amplification, the sound of a Fender bass guitar is amplified by plugging it in to an amplifier and speaker. The bass guitar generally has four strings which are tuned in 4ths like the 4 lowest strings on the guitar but they are tuned an octave lower than those on the guitar. While guitars are primarily strummed and picked, the bass can be played with a variety of techniques as well including, fingering, picking, slapping,thumb play, muting thumping and more. The bass is in all probability one of the closest interacting instruments to the drums; it’s because of this relationship that the bass guitar is a prominent rhythm section instrument. The combination of bass and drums and their unique interaction can completely influence the feel and vibe of the music.

What makes the Fender Stratocaster an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound which comes from the three single coil pickup setup. Although they can be a little loud at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have an edge to them  that is great for that rock n roll sound. They have a outstanding fit and finish, with amazing attention to detail. I’m know others would agree I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning very well. I found the action on my Fender Stratocaster was setup about right for me, which is a plus as well. You’ll sometimes find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than they need to be. I decided to go with a maple board for my Fender Stratocaster as it seems to glide smoothly, as well as a satin neck which is nice and slick. They comein a variety of wood finishes, but it depends upon what is right for you. The American Standard Stratocaster comes with a new bridge, with improved bent-steel saddles for an increased resonance and sustain. The saddles maintain that classic look and tone, but with a few modern improvements such as spacing, slot elongation as well as height screw length.The bridge has been designed to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which allows more room for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, whilst improving the string break angle over the primary contact point. Other than all this the fact that the Fender Stratocaster is after all one of the most sought after model of guitar tells you a lot.

I ordered my Fender Stratocaster on the net from Music 123, which is a fantastic site not just because of their prices, but because they are so honest with their reviews. The products they sell are of the highest quality. My Stratocaster was available with many finishes which include the wood finishes and colors as well as a number of different pickup covers, knobs, and tips.
