Elmore Music – Guitar Tips from Chris Elmore is one of the oldest online guitar courses that provide very good learning materials for Beginner Level and Intermediate Level guitar players. They have basically 8 guitar learning products. Out of which Guitar Tips is the best selling one which is focussed towards beginners and intermediate level players. Elmore Music also has another package product called Ultimate Speed Learning System which has packaged all the 8 products under a single label. But the advantage is that you can get a whopping discount of around $500. Or you have the option of buying them as individual courses at a one time payment of $27 each. The courses can be accessed via internet as well as you can download them on to your PCs. But each downloadable ZIP file is large and you would require a fast connection to download it, with dial up it’s almost impossible.
