I would just like to say that Steve Krenz is amazing. L&MG has a high enough purchase price that many that are looking for free tuition won't part with that much money. But - and it is a big but - Steve is the teacher that goes on giving and giving and giving. Not only do we get the live lessons but we also get the forum and these PDFs, some helpfully going over again so that we can make sure we really have understood, others extending what we have learned, and all that is before we get to additional materials, courses and weekends with Steve and other L&MG students that can be bought. Steve, I am sure that I am only one of hundreds or thousands of L&MG owners that have come to appreciate just a fraction of your generosity and teaching. Thank you.

I have been struggling with "clunk!"-sounding barre chords for years and did not realize that I was applying pressure incorrectly. For the first time last night, everything rang clear all the way up the neck ---on an acoustic guitar! Thank you, Steve K.

Pretty simple review, really. Anyone who's struggling with barre chords or having difficulty getting barre chords to work 'properly' needs to follow the guidelines and exercises in these .pdf pages and watch and follow along with Steve in the accompanying video. Oh... and they'll need to practice constantly and consistently. Daily is good, multiple times a day is better. Experience has taught that it's better to grab the guitar a few times a day, even for shorter periods than have long, drawn-out, tiring 'practice sessions' where focus often gets lost or distractions interfere. For example, perhaps grab the guitar for 5 - 10 minutes before getting ready for work in the morning ('wakes up' the fingers and the mind), a half hour 'regular' practice after work or dinner, then another 10 - 15 minutes before bed. Statistically that type of regimen works better for memory, dexterity, and neural pathway programming than a 2 hour session once a day or an 8 hour session once a week. A shorter, more frequent regimen better helps to retain 'muscle memory' and doesn't become tedious or boring. That's just the way humans work, really. Persistence is a 'failure to accept failure'. 😉

Some months ago I took some time to create a set of virtual worksheets based on those given in the Learn & Master Guitar Course. I did it for my own private use and training. That way I can do them as many times as I want, wherever I go, without needing to print a single sheet of paper or pulling out a pencil. Since Steve decided to create this set of lessons and workouts for everyone on the web (for which I'm much thankful), I thought that maybe it would be of use for anyone interested, just as a tool to practice and review these concepts. Hope it turns out to be as helpful for you as it is for me. http://bit.ly/GG-HMW01 - Diatonic Intervals http://bit.ly/GG-HMW02 - More Challenging Diatonic Intervals http://bit.ly/GG-HMW03 - Harmonic Intervals http://bit.ly/GG-HMW04 - The Most Important Harmonic Intervals http://bit.ly/GG-HMW05 - Ultimate Interval Challenge Enjoy!
