@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?

That's very interesting Steve, as you have some really nice instruments, like your trusty ES335......
@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.

We now have a film worthy of the man’s story: travel with Carlos from his days as a boy in Tijuana, through his growth in San Francisco, to his emergence as a musical force of his generation. This is his story, told almost entirely in his own words, his way.
Diane, is this a review you are quoting? Or is this your review?

@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.

I saw Santana in San Antonio about 20+ years ago. It was a great concert.
It was fascinating to me that he didn't change his sound at all. He had one sound and used it on every song. It was just his sound. In an age of everyone chasing everyone else's tones and pedalboards, it was wonderful to see an artist as just who they are.

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.

Hi Guys,
This is fantastic news, Neil Young's music is timeless, and getting to stream his concert for free on YouTube is a treat. Can't wait for tomorrow night to immerse myself in his legendary tunes. Huge thanks to Neil Young for sharing his talent with the world in such an accessible way.
You do realize my post was from three years ago?, right?

Every year I come back from the Bonamassa Blues Cruise (aka Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea) raving about what a great time it was. Because it was!!! 😉 It is consistently one of my wife and my greatest musical event of the year. Just such a great time. If you are ever considering it, don't hesitate. Just do it.
But one of the additional benefits is that so many years we have met up with fellow members of Guitar Gathering, or as @Steve Krenz likes to call them, us, our "Guitar Family". And that is exactly what happened again this year. My wife and I had so much fun going to concerts with, having breakfast with, chatting with (about guitars of course) and just hanging out with @Tom M and his lovely wife, Sheila. The cruise is, as I have said so many times, one of our favorite times ever. Tom and Sheila just made it even better.

I just got notice this morning of the next Crossroad Guitar Festival. I really thought that the last one would be just that, the last one. But here we are. And we just, as in within the last couple weeks, got our tickets to Clapton's concert in Denver in September, just before the Crossroads Festival.
Look at this Lineup!!!
Is there anything that I wouldn't give to go to what probably really will be, this time, the last one? I don't know what that would be!
Heavy Sigh.

Gary, congratulations on the NGD. I have heard nothing but rave reviews on the McCarty’s. It seems like even some of the normal naysayers have positive reports.
I hope we see/hear some of your playing it here and your report

Randy, thank you. I haven't looked at his materials for sale. But I find his YT videos entertaining and often very educational. As I have said on here many times, I have enough purchased lessons to last me for decades. So I don't need to add to the pile. But based on what I have seen from him I would suspect his materials worth the money.

We where all given the freedom to create our own solos, using acoustic flat top guitars I hope you enjoy it! It was fun to do 🙂
Neil, that had to be so much fun to do! And your playing was so enviable. You sounded great! Thank you for sharing this and I did enjoy it.

The editors at Guitar Techniques Magazine saw that we had this conversation about Hank Marvin and made the cover article about him!!! I suppose there is the possibility that they had already planned it. 😉 Planned or coincidence, this month's cover article is about Hank Marvin. I just got it yesterday. I am going to study it and if there are parts that I can share without infringing on copyright I, of course, will do so. Give me a few days or a week.

I'm not selling it! We can't do that here. But for anyone starting out to build a pedal board. Or for someone needing a back-up overdrive. Or for someone stacking overdrives. Here is an inexpensive Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive on Reverb.
This one seems really inexpensive at $38.20. There is $20 shipping. But it is described as "mint" condition and it has a 6 month warranty.
So, again, for anyone on here that is starting out and building your pedalboard, the overdrive is the foundation of a pedalboard. I think it is fair or accurate to say that, after a tuner, if a person only has one pedal it would be overdrive. And this one seems like an inexpensive one to start with!
You're welcome!
Actually, if this becomes the start of your tone obsession and pedal addiction, you will hate me😡😉😁

@Dig despite your claimed position a question, there is little doubt, at least to this observer, your position is one of an opinion. That little doubt can be the only assumption when your invited conversaants are "freaks" and simultaneously "brain damaged". And please don't try feigning sincere exchange of ideas with your offering "or is it me".
We welcome a conversation about gear here. I actually wish we had more of it. I don't suspect we will see much more in this thread.

Playing only these. You have probably all heard Jeff Beck passed away from bacterial meningitis.
