The Jamorama program has generally produced positive results and most users agree with the same. However, Jamorama still presents a few shortcomings:
Lack of Animation: Jamorama lacks animation with the fretboard and has been a common complaint among most Jamorma users.
Lack of Advancement: While the lessons and program may be great for beginners, most users feel that the succeeding editions and packages of Jamorama lack the opportunity and room for growth when they finally reach a more advanced level.
All in all, Jamorama is a highly satisfying product that delivers results beyond what would be expected from an eBook tutorial.
