@Randy Breeding barres at not mastered in weeks,
And session 7 and 8 pound barre after barre.
Most music is not written barre chord, barre chord barre chord.....
Even after years my barres are not clear
My thumb muscle still fatigues.
Also do session8 at the same time, same concept, just slightly different shapes
Also easier said than done, pull back with your fretting arm to give the barring index finger more pressure over squeezing with your thumb and finger as thumb tendonitis can happen

Jeff Mcerlain my favorite Truefire instructor
A good guitarist can quickly find "their " tone, then there's us mortals.
Digital modelers have come a long way since I purchased my Digtech RP50 poor sounding multi pedal.
One thing with individual pedals ( besides the expense) you can quickly change pedal settings and pedal order without going through multiple menus
I see a Fractal FM3 is like $1,000usd

@Marshall many of us have both acoustic and electric
I alternate on both through the lessons

@Wim VD1 sounds good slow acoustic blues.
Sounds like blues, I bought Chris Buono's Guitar Lab Blues solo ($5 on sale) doesn't sound bluesy to me, I'll work and learn best I can from it, but certainly not making me a good blues player,
This blues Fingerstyle course sounds like it's doing that for you

Thought about tempo, and actually would make the song a bit longer. Which probably I'd prefer
Lyrics are tricky with the "they've been down that lonely street " all crammed into that triplet.
I listened to 4 version of Elvis and they all run 2'08" roughly as well, so either they dropped the triplets or they smoked through them like I did
At least I can now sing and play live (which I match playing to my singing instead of the other way around)
On to the next song..

well I tried to get this done for the June Challenge. but didn't work out.
You have two choices.. you can listen to the no vocal version or add lots of ear protection and listen to the vocal version.
This is out of Steve's Song Hits.. Session 5 if you will.. there wasn't much in the way of rhythm track to the song, so I ran the melody mostly on the neck pickup of a Epiphone Sheraton semi-hollow, the solo (I must come up with a more inventive solo idea) was switch to the bridge pickup and yes.. is "just" the melody played in the 12th position.
it was a mix of mic'ing the speaker and since I run a very loud 30w tube amp, I have an attenuator on it that has line out .. so the lead is a mix of the two types of inputs.. speaker and speaker emulation.
the rhythm track was done on my acoustic straight in to the mixer.
last was my Dean Edge 4 bass to give a little more bottom end..
(if your ears are bleeding.. don't sue me.. you were warned about ear protection)

I took over my son's old bedroom which is like 10x10 as my studio.
One thing I wish I could do is " sound proofing", but I think that will have to wait for about 5yrs to move into a different house after I stop working.
Now your issue.
I'm not sure you're going to need studio monitors. If you're recording electric direct due to volume, then mixing via monitors maybe pointless.
I use headphones only
The Personus or Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 combo packs are good.
I have an ikea desk on one side with books and computer and mixer
On the other side has a small IKEA shelf with music books and my dvd player

have to re-record my song.. just too many little mistakes.. guess it becomes the "July" open mic

In most cases you will want to alternate picking on 1/8 th notes
Some exceptions like if you have a down stroke on open A, then a down stroke on Open D
Same goes up stroke you could have a double
But in most cases you'll alternate picking down/up/down/up
Wax on/wax off opps sorry

@Nairon sounded pretty good to me,

@rbauer1 welcome another Canadian
As Neil pointed out there isn't anything on modes in the main LMG course, but you may have seen a Live Lesson Steve did
Sadly I haven't been able to get to watch Steve's current LL videos, but check at the top of this forum for Live Lessons,
Everything Steve has done in the last 9yrs of LL videos are stored there for review

The guitar picked your house to live.

Right I remember you posting that comment, not here.
Like most of Song Hits, I add back typically the 3rd verse that Steve has omitted. (Heartbeak actually shows all 4 verses in the music, but Scotty Moore plays a solo at 12th fret, which I've added in )
With Day Tripper, Steve shows the riff in E and A
I added 3rd verse back and I've added the B riff solo back in which is taking just a little to smooth out.
Work in progress

@matonanjin yes Ron, but since I usually do a "strum n sing " for either family or friends when we're not in lockdown like we are currently. Can't visit anyone at this time (unlike USA)
I'm playing the single note melody in open, 4th and 12th positions, and singing all 4 verses .
The 3rd verse is a tongue twister at speed.
Well, the bellhop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street
Well, they'll never, they'll never get backI've taken a 'step back' to clean up some of my single notes, since I can strum n sing live in front of 500+ people (thanks church)
Song Hits does have some good songs, Day Tripper, Take'n Care of Business, etc , sadly not making me sound like SRV or Bonamassa, but at least "listenable " when I get the song figured out

I'm almost ready to put Heartbeak Hotel in the "can", let's see what I can do next couple of weekends

Good for you Mike.
USA seems to have "gotten over" covid.
I can't speak for all Canadian's, but I'm just scratching my head as we're still in lockdown.
Can't buy shoes or pants as those are considered non-essential (and too many shoppers congregating) no restaurant open let alone bars and concerts.
I can't even imagine attending a concert till even next year, and I'm sure we'll have tons of restrictions
Looking for a full Tommy report when you go
Em and A shape barre chords.

Rest and stretch your thumb
Don't squeeze so hard with the thumb vs pull back with arm a bit.
If tendonitis kicks in in your thumb just makes playing harder all around
