The Table of Contents provides a useful overview of the topics covered in each chapter.

The Preface is basically a welcome message from Ben Edwards, Jamorama’s creator, that explains what you can hope to gain from the Jamorama guitar course (in a nutshell, the ability to fluenty play pretty much any song you hear).

The Introduction tells you how to get the most out of the Jamorama course by explaining how it’s laid out, and then shows you the basics that you absolutely must understand before you actually begin playing – that is, how to hold the guitar correctly in both sitting and standing positions, how to position your right hand to play the notes cleanly and avoid injury, how to fret the notes and how to hold the guitar pick. There are also labelled photos of the acoustic and electric guitars, so you can learn to identify the different parts.

So far, so clear – next, in Lesson 1, you actually begin playing the guitar.
