JamPlay provides various tutorials to guitarists of any skill level, meaning any musician can find something to learn on their channel. However, the videos aren’t full explanations of the concepts but rather previews of what the complete courses offer. Despite this, you will learn something from JamPlay’s channel.
GuitarJamz
For the absolute beginner, there is no channel better suited than GuitarJamz. Mark Schwartz provides comprehensive lessons that explain and demonstrate things slowly. He also answers common questions guitarists may have throughout his videos. Marty also has a great sense of humour, so his lessons are delightful. However, his patience level is great for beginners looking to learn the ropes, but the pace may be frustrating for more advanced guitarists. If you want to learn how to play a particular song or mimic an artist’s style, Marty provides videos on these topics as well.
GuitarLessons & The Guitar Fam
Nate Savage is the man behind both GuitarLessons and The Guitar Fam.
