[Is this course ever going to be available online?]

@BrokenSpoke yes and no.. Legacy tried putting the basic set of disks on a On Line site (can't remember which one).  a few of our members did go there a few times. Don't know if its still available as an online resource

Legacy and Steve parted ways some time ago but both Legacy and Steve sell the course (Steve's sales page is located at the top of this forum under the "Store" Tab.) yes I know you don't want to buy it again.. 

but any online resource will make you pay for access to it.. so why not just buy it as it's even cheaper than it was in the past.

Not sure how much right's Steve has to the disk set, think that maybe still run by Legacy. So I don't think you'll see a copy of it on an Online site from Steve.

so the long answer.. probably no. 

but as I said.. you won't get free access so you might as well buy it.. Check out Steve's store above as well as he has a really good fretboard series of short learning videos there too.

[Session 10 Intro]

Believe it was from when Steve first did the disks in 2006 vs the Gibson version a few years later think 2009 or 2010

Books remained pretty much the same but certain recording had to change 

I'd have to rewatch my disks

I'd like to add, there are a few new members that just started LMG course . (Currently session 1, 2, 3 and 4)

I think any song or lesson from it would be good too.

Just my thoughts on that as well.

Paul David's YouTube site.. yes I subscribe to this channel.. he's always very informative.

@Mike Hoodenpyle very nice

[Who Out There Is Studying the Learn and Master Guitar Program?]

@Dolph  Session 1 is to learn the parts of the guitar and to open and close your hand as a unit (arthritis will make this a bit of a challenge) there will be lots of time later to 'master' those two chords.

the 'real' learning starts with the single note reading in Session 2.  this might help you with the arthritis .. so don't stay on Session 1 too long.

@Mike Sapp I don't have the next door to teach but I hear you about that "play for church,  would like to play non-church" out

[Greg Voros; Answers Your Questions]

@SRV I see Greg hasn't checked the forum since Sept 2019,, so over a year and a half ago, you might not get a quick answer.

What kind of excessive vibration are you talking about, after all this is a semi-hollow guitar, you'll hear a lot more going on

[Learn and Master Guitar - Lesson Manual & Bonus Resource Manual]

@John swan @3PowerChordsAndAnAttitude The Bonus Session where developed more than 12mnths after the main LMG course book.

the Lessons are a little bit harder in the Bonus Resources then the main course book. 

typically one works the main course lesson (depending on pervious guitar skills) for a couple of weeks to get them under the fingers before adding the Bonus Resources book to the mix.

Session 4 is a big concept lesson and takes more time than expected.

 

[Session 3 - Notes on the 3rd & 4th Strings]

@grzyman12 @3PowerChordsAndAnAttitude had to look up the LMG books.. been a while since I opened them

the main book doesn't state BPM for each lesson.. but the Jam CD's have a slow medium and fast tracks to them.

so use the Jam a Long CD's too.

the Bonus Book is where Steve gives a BPM count and yes they are the "bare minimum" BPM count 

but nothing saying you can't use the BPM ready to move on found in the Bonus lessons to the main lessons as well.

also don't look at the "number of weeks " to complete a lesson at the start of the chapters.. everyone is different.

there have been people have spent months working out session 4 and 4b

Session 3 recommendations

 

Quote

 

The Eighth Note Exercises (pg. 17 of the lesson book) can be played without hesitation at 60 bpm.

• The Third and Fourth String Exercises can be played steadily at 60 bpm.

• “Yankee Doodle” and “Aura Lee” can be consistently played at 90 bpm.

• “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In” can be played accurately and evenly without hesitation at 120 bpm.

 

 

[🕰️ 🎸​​ 📻 ​February Recording Challenge 88 - Songs from the last century ​ ​]

Thanks Wim

There are certain challenges above just the playing aspect (esp with no in person contact at this time as Ontario Canada is still in stay at home orders)

With idiocies of exporting and importing tracks. 

(I had 4 tracks to export, so Neil could import it as 1 stereo track but would have imported as mono into his daw)

It was a learning exercise. 

I can see us trying this again in the future 

(Maybe next time I'll use a metronome 🤔 )

[❤️🙏January Recording Challenge 87 - "Hope, Peace, & Love".🦋🌸]

I can understand Mandy

When Steve moved to a 2 night a week Live Lessons last spring I couldn't keep up the commitment of moderating the chat with my work workload and own learning. 

@Wim VD1 glad you're continuing the challenge,  

 

[PDF Workbook]

@Adam429 Steve Introduced the Speed and Agility workout in the Guitar Gathering July 2016 and he pretty much blew everyone away.

the Key to his Fretboard Series workouts is to watch the instruction videos that introduce you to the patterns.

start with the Basic video until you have it good.. they move to the intermediate video.. rinse repeat.. 

as Steve says in his videos "if you had problems keeping up, work on it tomorrow.. eventually your practice will become your warm ups "

[Session 2 - Reading Music & Notes on the 1st & 2nd Strings]

@grzyman12 great.  keep at it..

you don't realize how much music theory Steve sneaks into every lesson as well. Session 7 is a major jump in theory but well needed.

there are a number of LMG students that still hang around here that have completed the LMG course, and they're playing is an example of the type of guitar player you can become by keeping with this LMG course.

 

[Session 1 - Starting Off Right]

@Adam429 note there are a few mistakes with the TAB in the lower sessions. 

But Steve is a big Let's read music guy, so try to ignore TAB until you get to finger style session 10

 

Ps in my signature is Words Of Guitar Wisdom check it out from mouth of Steve

[Session 1 - Starting Off Right]

@Adam429 session 1 is just to get your hands coordinated. 

Session 2 starts the "real" learning. 

 

[Minimum Wage]

I do a version of Tiny Bubbles on ukulele. 

 

[Learning songs with metronome]

Like it was said above,  if you're playing along with a song , the tempo is set for you, so no need for a nome

 

But I've learned one thing  

If you're playing on your own or in a group and you're the lead guitar, you set your own tempo ( fast or slow) and everyone will have to follow. 

So if you must use a nome, set it slow enough for you to be accurate and speed it up as needed.

Don't worry about what the original was recorded at, you're playing it now as you

(I know it sounds like I'm recommending not using a nome)
