  1. @kenneth F Barre is pretty common jump

    but you're in Session 10.. finger style.. that means holding chords a long time and trying to be clean with every string, which means you have to adjust your hand and fingers to make them clean

    all the while you're holding a chord.. which will fatigue a hand quickly,, so jumping to another chord like the F barre maybe slowed down

    if you're in session 10 .. then you've been playing barre chords from Session 7 onward.. so should be pretty familiar with them.. just the static holding of the chords in Session 10 to cause issues.

  2. Only Steve knows what "statue of limitations " there is to Legacy Learn and Master Guitar course. 

    Steve has not been in Legacy since around 2015-ish

    Steve of course created Guitar Gathering site for a his students to Gather and enjoy learning guitar together. 

    Legacy appears to be bailing on all the Learn and Master courses,  since there is no longer a support website for them, and is only off loading the quantity of stock of courses.

    But since he (Steve) hasn't "dusted" off the scripts and created an updated GG Master Guitar series would suggest there must be something. 

    Only Steve knows. 

    As for the disorganized or confusing lesson lists, well it's the way this forum sorts things.

    There are 3 unpaid volunteers that help moderate the forum and when personal time allows,  re-org the sections 

    But most are listed in sequence of how people post. New to old except if there is a subject "pinned" to the top

  3. @Triple-o I've put it aside because I picked up all 10 lessons on Truefire Beginning Blues Guitar,, for $5usa each

    Total $66 cdn for me (all 10 lessons that were on sale), enjoying it so far.

    When it get up towards Blues 10, I'll probably re-look at Steve's course again 

  4. I've seen that commented before about boiling them

    Think about how they're cut off at the tuner

    I don't leave alot extra at that end, I'd never be able to rewind them

    Also if they kink, at the tuner quite possibly string will snap.

    At $7-$20 a pack, you don't need to change them once a month or once ever 30 hrs. 

    I don't see a need to re-use strings

  5. Rock Hits was not part of the LMG system, nor anything Steve K had his hands in.

    I believe its a collection of lessons that Gibson put out on their own learning site at one time and bundled it into several song package. think it was titled Learn and Master Rock Hits as Gibson and Legacy where in a contractual agreement at the time that saw Learn and Master Guitar rebranded to Gibson's Learn and Master Guitar.

    from what I remember the song instruction was 'hit n miss' teaching from multiple guitarists. Similar to watching a bunch of YouTube video's

  6. ABR1 is as easy as it gets,.

    Replace strings, stretch strings, re-tune to pitch, 

    Press 12th fret (lightly,  Gibson's are known for needing a light touch and not mash string to fret board or you'll pull it out of tune)

    Check tuning at 12th fret, use small screwdriver to adjust the saddle forward to sharpen,  backward to flatten string.

    Make sure all your other adjustments are done first,  neck relief,  bridge height, before intonation. 

    If you have a saddle that can't go back far enough,  you remove the screw turn the saddle around and reinstall and intonate again

  7. One problem with the analysis 

    Most amps use the same output tubes no matter what channel you are playing .

    The v1 is usually shared with channel 1 and 2, 

    There is typically 1 or 2 more 12ax7 style input tubes for each channel after the V1, (they could also by 12ay7 or 12au7 depending on the gain of the amp choices)

    If only channel 1 is failing then possibly a  v2 (v3) pre-amp tub could be failing as long as they're not shared by channel 2

    And before the splitter tube.

    This amp probably uses relays to channel switch/change,  possibly it is not coming out of channel 2, could be a relay

    The best part is 12ax7 and EL84'S are cheap.

    Like under $20 each

    You don't have to but Mesa branded as they ate just rebranded tubes, 

    Doug's Tubes is good also

  8. I thought you've been to Nashville before??

    Yes band on every floor 

    When I was there I didn't have a ngd

    Now the real sad part.

    Those bands play a two hour gig for like $30 per band member and rely heavily on tipping before packing up and rotating to the next bar

    (Wish my playing skills would warrant a test drive at Carter's)

  9. Well not sure where to put this . 

    we sort of have 2 threads running at the Same time.. the "Recording Challenge" and the "Open Mic" subject threads.

    Open Mic was setup as a non-subject based recording where the Recording Challenge thread was subject based, which has sort of fled it's original subject theme this year..

    which makes for a small dilemma: which thread do you post a recording.. anyways I picked here.

    Taken me a while to get this one done. the Main rhythm track took a while to get down with a lot less mistakes (mistakes are free of charge and gives music it's 'organic' feeling). knew the lead and subsequent vocal tracks would go quicker.

     once again we're using @Steve Krenz LMG Song Hits to provide the base of this song.

    This time I was hitting up Day Tripper by the Beatles as presented by Steve in Session 7 his course.

    I've added back the 3rd verse and I've added the B solo back into the song as well (the B solo riff keeps my fingers confused)

    Technical stuff.. the Base rhythm track was played on all things .. My Les Paul (I wanted to get away from always using the Sheraton) in the lead pickup . the Lead track was played on my MIA Strat on the bridge/lead pickup and last there was supplemental rhythm track played on what else.. the Epiphone Sheraton a Beatles type of guitar 

    again keeping with me .. "you choose your poison"...  first track is just the instrumental and the second track is how it would be heard at any party my relatives or wife's friends had enough to drink and beg me to play.

    (some day I'll invest in an auto-tune plugin)

  10. @LVHook welcome aboard. 

    LMG is a great learn course, teaches reading music,  music theory besides playing. 

    It's not heavy on guitar tabs,  it really wants you to become a real musician.

    There are a number of great players here on the site. (The replacement home for LMG).

    Steve still does live lessons Tuesdays and has other resource videos in the link at top call Store, still has a summer conference and Fall Fingerstyle retreat. 

    Steve's smiling encouraging face will always be there when you turn on those DVD'S
