Strings

Just finished going through Sessions 1 through 6 in the last few days. I have been reminded how well Steve structured the path of learning. I’ve enjoyed the songs especially in Sessions 5 and 6.

Thanks Neil. I think I will buy it.

My only amp is a VOX Valvetronix VT20. I have a buddy who has two Blues Jr amps. He is willing to sell me one for $200. It is black tolex and made in the USA. I don’t need another amp but think $200 is too good to pass.

I was one of the original students who used the Learn & Master course when it first came out, prior to its association with Gibson. I had no knowledge of guitar prior to that and found sessions 1 through 9 to be foundational in my development. I danced around the other sessions getting up to session 17. Around that time I decided to take a detour into classical guitar. I just completed Grade 4 at the online school Classical Guitar Corner Academy by Simon Powis. I have now decided to complete the Gibson L&M course with detailed focus (and the bonus resource sessions) and then study the other courses (i.e. Fingerstyle and Blues). Along the way I have learned to enjoy the journey of learning. Steve's saying, "Learn all you can" rings true all day every day. For accountability, I thought I’d begin a progress journal thread noting my victories, challenges, questions et cetera. Perhaps some others would like to create their own progress journal? If you aim at nothing, you hit it every time 😀

I agree with the above thoughts. I was one of the original students who used the Learn & Master course when it first came out, prior to its association with Gibson.

Along the way I have learned to enjoy the journey of learning. Steve's saying, "Learn all you can" rings true all day every day. I just watched this video Steve recorded in November 2020. It is one of the best explanations I've heard on how to succeed on your guitar journey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1IXxDQAEeI

Learn all you can 👍. Thanks for sharing this.

Only about $260,000? Can you imagine having enough money to spend on one guitar 😜🤩

Steve mentioned he’s working on a new book of Fingerstyle hymns and worship songs. I’ve really enjoyed what he’s played on live lessons over the years and am really looking forward to this. Anyone else too?

Thanks Doug. I bought it directly from Legacy Systems. It’s on my shelf. As you can gather I haven’t dug into yet. I will check it out. Thanks.

Is there a pdf version for the L&M Fingerstyle course? Thanks.

Thanks Diane. I actually have that course too. I will check my book. Have you worked on the Fingerstyle course yet? Looks daunting!

Is there music available for Steve’s version of Ode to Joy intro? Thanks.

I see that the course is offered online via the Udemy website. Has anyone bought the course through here?

I can’t imagine life without music, especially guitars.

Great job Wim.

Great place to learn--and enjoy the process of learning.

Great history. Amazing how VOX ties in with The Beatles.

Same here.

Wonderful stories. Thanks for sharing.

So tempting!

That would be awesome!

Thank

It's always great when there's a new guitar day
