As the name suggests, Guitar and Bass is a site where you can learn the regular guitar, as well as bass guitar. If you purchase either of the two downloadable courses, you will get access to other guitar courses for free. However, do not allow the low price of the product fool you; this is one of the few best inexpensive ways of getting started with an online guitar course.

Guitar and Bass is an excellent product available at a decent price. Both Guitar and Bass courses contain 50+ lessons. The guitar lessons offer a wide range of necessary techniques for guitar, chords, and styles, and there are unique and interactive ways in which you can brush up your skills. The site also offers demo lessons, all of which are definitely recommended.

You can select the Guitar and Bass course as a downloadable package or as a professionally packaged CD-ROM. We would recommend the internet version, because it allows you to access the regular guitar and bass guitar courses. It costs far less as well since no shipping costs are included, and moreover, this format offers several bonus software add-ons.

Features

The Guitar and Bass lesson comprises of over 50 interactive tutorial modules that build up on each other progressively.

These lessons usually have a full-band, high-quality audio jack tracks built in. You may want to play the same along with the guitar accompaniment or otherwise. An easy feature of the product is that you need not look through the computer for files and folders in bunches to find the audio-video files you are looking for, as these are built into the browser conveniently. Thus, the browser-based lesson tutorial is a huge benefit.

The quality of the jam tracks is excellent. The videos, however, are not that great. A drum machine has been built into these lesson modules that can be set to different rhythms and tempos and also be used as a guitar tuner.

If you have chosen the online version, you can download the files on your PC. The advantage here is that you do not have to be connected to the internet all the time while you are working on the lessons. However, the downloading process can be extremely tedious; that said, it's the only option you have.

Undoubtedly, the Guitar and Bass course is not as comprehensive as other guitar courses, but it is decent. Also, as there are not enough video lessons, it seems to be a poorly structured guide. However, when it is used as a supplement to a video course, the Guitar and Bass course is not a bad offering at all.

Support

Guitar and Bass offers a lot of support options. They have email, fax, and phone in addition to a physical address on the site.

Ease of Use

Guitar and Bass software is easy to learn and worked really well when we tested it. The web-based version works on Mac and PC. Do note, however, that the CD-ROM version of Guitar and Bass is not compatible with Mac.

The CD versions do have one significant advantage- they are far less likely to have any setup or installation problems.

Guarantee

Guitar and Bass offers the best warranty we have seen so far for any instrument learning software. It offers a Lifetime Guarantee, which is indeed impressive.

Price

The low price and high value of Guitar and Bass course is impressive but still the Jamorama is out #1 for downloadable courses.

Our Verdict

If you are looking for a low cost, high value guitar course, Guitar and Bass would be a good option for you.
