Child pays for parent's lessons!!!!??? Did I read that accurately? What a concept!! Doug, have a great time and learn a lot. I'm sure you will. And we will be expecting live reports, daily, from the Retreat of @DianeB quality reports! (Again, no pressure 😉 )

@Cuong Dang, you are correct! "It's truly a wonderful course"! Let me do a little searching also and see if I can a place that might have it in stock. I'll check with Steve. One thing to be sure and verify, if you find a place offering it for sale, is if what is being offered is the version with bonus DVD's. There are two versions of L&M Guitar. One version just has the 20 sessions. The alternative has 20 sessions but for each of these 20 there is also a "bonus" session. I don't know if the Udemy L&M Guitar course is teaching the basic one or the one with the bonus sessions. The way the course is named, the extra sessions called "bonus", might lead one to think those additional sessions have just a little bit of bonus material. This is unfortunate because those "bonus" sessions have a lot of information. A lot! This is not just my impression. A lot of members, over the years, have echoed that opinion here. I would go so far to say there are sessions that the bonus materials provide more info than the "regular". Please be sure and let us know here how you are progressing!

And @DianeB and @Eracer_Team-DougH, it, the jam along pdf, now opens fine for me.

@DianeB, your link for the pdf, about the Jam Along Tempos, is broken. I will look and see if I have that rattling around somewhere on my hard drive. I know at one point I had it but do I yet?

@Steve KrenzI'm surprised with Neil although a little different direction. I thought your pick might be the Brent Mason Tele. Yeah, there is the lack of power issue. But I know you love that guitar. (And, admittedly, I was drooling at our lesson in Nashville!😉)

Wow!, @DianeB. What a great review. Being the Santana fan that I am, I, of course, wanted to see the movie. So much so, I considered talking to my wife about driving the over 2 hours to Des Moines, IA, (the closest place showing it) to see it. But I know the response that would have received. But now after reading, and digesting, your review I am mustering the resolve again to approach her. I don't know what else to say about your assessment of "Carlos" other than "brilliantly written". Thank you for sharing this with us.

Diane, is this a review you are quoting? Or is this your review?

Crazy talk, Doug? Or do we call this out for what it is? Blasphemy! 😆🤣😮

@camper star, welcome to you and good luck to you in your guitar learning journey. You have access here to the best guitar teacher on the planet in Steve Krenz and he is always willing to answer any question you may have. You also have a very friendly, knowledgeable group of forum members always willing to help. Don't hesitate to exploit both these resources. I have been to Quad Cities many time in my professional career. What has always been interesting to me is it seems no one in the Quad Cities can explain why it is called that when there are actually more than four cities!😏😉. Shouldn't it be septi Cities if one includes Bettendorf, Silvis and Hampton? And @camper star all future responses will be from members far more helpful and informative than me and silliness like this😆

Steve, I just got a electro-harmonix Holy Grail reverb pedal and I'm liking it a lot. Just? It's probably been months, maybe approaching a year now. I'm looking forward to your report.

Thanks for adding to the thread, Steve. Santana does have his sound. I don't know of anyone whose sound is more recognizable than Santana. Years ago, decades ago, a local rock radio station here used to have a two hour jazz show on Sunday mornings called "Jazz Brunch". It got to be a tradition of my wife and I to sit and have coffee and listen to it. A song came on and we were listening to it and I said to my wife, "That is Carlos Santana on guitar. It doesn't make sense, I know. Carlos on a jazz song but that is him on guitar". The song finished and the DJ came on to name the songs and sure enough! He said it was Alice Coltrane with Carlos Santana on guitar! I don't remember now what song it was but it was from their album "Illuminations". It was when Carlos started doing his solo stuff when the band started having some personality clashes.

Thanks, @DianeB!!! Here is the full trailer:

You do realize my post was from three years ago?, right?
