You can't go wrong following Gary's lead. The Academy lessons present a lot to learn in a short period of time and it sure goes by fast . I reference back frequently, enjoy your musical learning ! Gene CFri, 17 Apr 2026 22:34:15 +0000Very nice Mike. I don't have a Martin in my collection yet - maybe someday.Thu, 16 Apr 2026 13:41:32 +0000Thank you!Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:51:24 +0000https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/events/event/409-live-lesson/Live Lesson with Steve Krenz from Nashville, TN, 7:00 pm CT: Topic to be announced.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 20:19:00 +0000Beautiful guitar. Congratulations! 👏👏Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:52:03 +0000Thanks. I haven't been to a retreat yet, but I sure would like to go.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 01:54:05 +0000very nice.. not this year.. (daughter getting married) but maybe in a year or two I can get back down for a fingerstyle retreat and hear it live .Sun, 12 Apr 2026 15:17:58 +0000I have a Martin J-40 that's my all-time favorite guitar, so I've been thinking of ordering a custom shop Martin J, but with mahogany back and sides, for about a year now. I thought I'd either order one with 40 series appointments, or a more basic version. I was more than a little timid about ordering, because I really wanted to be able to play it before committing. Lo and behold, my favorite local shop got a new custom shop J in mahogany the other day, so I checked it out and snagged it immediately. It's basically a J-18, but with a premium grade torrified Sitka top. Very sweet guitar. It has plenty of volume like the 40, and the tone is solid and rich, but snappier and with more clarity than the 40. Love it.Sat, 11 Apr 2026 19:44:29 +0000Thanks, Gary. I appreciate the response. 😃Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:10:04 +0000https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/events/event/407-live-lesson/Live Lesson with Steve Krenz from Nashville, TN, 7:00 pm CT: How to Learn a Jazz Standard.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 23:42:22 +0000Hi T-Bone. Glad you have enjoyed participating in the Hymns Academy. I did as well! I have taken part in several of the academies over the years, and have archived the emails that contain the link to the video lesson. I've never tried to download the lesson video itself from Youtube - I think you have to have the premium subscription for that. For the most part, the links have remained active and I have been able to access the lesson if I needed to refresh my memory for a past lesson. If for some reason a link doesn't work, I believe you can send Steve and email and he can provide the lesson to you.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 13:34:12 +0000The Guitar Gathering Academy hymns course is great! I receive a weekly email with an attached PDF and a link to the lesson posted on YouTube. Am I correct in assuming the video lessons are not provided to us as they are for other courses available for purchase from Guitar Gathering? I would like to have a copy of the video lessons that I can reference as I continue working through the songs after the course is complete. I can download them from YouTube by subscribing to YouTube Premium. Is that the best way to do it, or is there another method used by the community?Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:01:05 +0000It's time for me to move on from here. I've gotten to a point where I can play the major scales pretty well in a couple of keys, while others take a little while to think about before I can figure them out. The fretboard feels more familiar now, but I can't say I've memorized the fretboard. I have memorized several anchor points. Those points, the major scale patterns, in combination with some of my CAGED knowledge are pretty helpful in navigating around in a specific key. This session took a much longer than I expected initially, but at this point, I do have my hands dipped in some other courses so I guess it shouldn't be unexpected, especially in these later sessionsMon, 30 Mar 2026 04:22:21 +0000I didn’t even know this existed, let alone you can get manufactured guitars (not home made) Microtonality this video has taken YouTube by storm two guys from Quebec Canada https://eastwoodguitars.com/collections/microtonal?srsltid=AfmBOorUNc7Ogqc4f1qwxgIaaYcAgbiW0OPX0mTvUgmbg5CfdqA4IR8GSun, 29 Mar 2026 13:07:00 +0000https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/files/file/107-an-easy-trick-to-move-to-any-chord/Download the PDF for this lesson...Tue, 17 Mar 2026 22:35:24 +0000Spam deleted. — DBWed, 04 Mar 2026 06:29:42 +0000https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/events/event/405-live-lesson/Live Lesson with Steve Krenz from Nashville, TN, 7:00 pm CT: Belmont Guitar Ensemble.Tue, 03 Mar 2026 03:17:25 +0000https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/events/event/404-live-lesson/Live Lesson with Steve Krenz from Nashville, TN, 7:00 pm CT: Improving Chord Changes.Tue, 03 Mar 2026 03:16:10 +0000You should have just now received an email from Steve going over some of the logistics of the academy. I just did anyway.Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:56:42 +0000Thanks, Diane and Gene.Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:43:29 +0000https://gx169.infusionsoft.app/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=439Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:27:54 +0000There is also a nice VIDEO for Hymns (GGA-H4) under "Events". Steve describes what is included and these Academies certainly deliver. Lots to learn for many playing levels. Have a Blessed day, Gene CMon, 02 Mar 2026 13:23:08 +0000@T-Bone I'm sorry to point out the obvious, but the slider graphic directly above answers your question: March 5, this coming Thursday, Steve should be sending out the lesson material for the first hymn. All the best.Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:15:50 +0000
