Stay encouraged, you're doing great!!!!

49 year beginner sorting out maze of youtube courses. Thank you, subed.

I'm in the middle of this course right now. Really love Jamie's lessons and frankly if I can master the material in this course I will be more than satisfied. Really appreciate you putting your experience out there! I've just subbed to your channel and really enjoying the videos as I find your experience and progress is quite close to mine. The cost of this course is comparable to 2-3 or 3 private lessons and given Covid and all that I think it's more than worth it. Looking forward to seeing where this takes you!

Your videos are very inspiring, thank you.

Great video and well done mate,I find your video's really inspiring. Keep up the good work!

Another great course review video Luke. Looks like you are making great progress with the content as usual.

Keep up the good work. It helps me believe I can get better

Hey Luke stick at it mate.. 👍👍🎸🤘

Glad to see I'm not the only one. As I mentioned before, I am a few years older, but about the same spot guitar-wise. I got Jamie's course; and am doing 'Slow Dancing'. I am just now past the intro and into the song. I'm not brave enough to record myself and I am not up to the bpm; but even I can hear it sounds like a robot is playing it. I think I was born without any rhythm or soul....it's very methodical playing; but I keep plugging away. I keep watching Jamie's video on KZfaq, some day, some day. Also like you, I need some more guitar gear.....oh where to spend my money..... Another great video. I wasn't aware this bridge series was there. Not sure if I should start it; or just keep at the Mayer song....

sounds good man, you're getting there so stick with it. And LOL at "another way to spend money".

Blimey, great effort - Bold as Love sounds incredibly difficult. I'm at roughly the same number of guitar-years as you - I tried a few bars of Little Wing then decided I wasn't quite ready for that yet!

Keep it up brother.

Great content, just started watching in the past week or so. I feel like I'm in a similar position, between levels in skill. You mentioned the 100watt head. I think that's great and you probably won't regret it. Pedals can get crazy expensive. The route I took was going with the Fender GTX 100, comes with the pedal. The pedal has a built in looper, so you can use that and as you play over or dub over you can still switch amp models etc. I still could not get past the true tube sound and also have a Blackstar HT20R MKII combo. That is amazing as well. It's versa tile and takes pedals well, effects loop, recording options, great reverb, etc. Just some food for thought. I am really enjoying your channel so far, you have certainly earned another subscriber.

Found your channel today. I wanted to do the same concept a few years ago when I started at 36 but lack the Hollywood looks and charisma so thought best not to put people thru that. I’ve found by far the best free or possibly even paid courses are on Your Guitar Academy, they have Hendrix,slash John Mayer etc style courses all for free. Caged major and minor. I personally wouldn’t tackle anything Hendrix style until I knew caged and the scales and arpeggios around the shapes. Makes it way easier. TrueFire is probably the best paid site there is, guitar tricks is great for beginners. Artist works is also great I’m currently having another go at Guthrie Trapps country course. Great channel. Subbed Btw I bought the Yamaha THR and have ordered the Spark. It’ll be here sometime in January. From the app and the size of the amp I think it’ll be great for beginner to intermediate or people looking to learn more songs

Good effort

Currently crossing the bridge myself 😀

Great job! I feel like we're in the same boat. I've been practicing new material, but it's way harder than what I'm used to. I think being uncomfortable is part of growing. I've also started taking lessons with a guitar teacher. I'm deciding if I like it, but it's going well so far. I will say having real time feedback is huge.

The key is to learn things super, super slow so you can commit it to muscle memory.

Could you do a video on how you record guitar sound and splice it with the video?. Wanting to start recording my practice but the amount of information on things I "need" for decent audio and video quality is overwhelming. Feel like I dont need to spend $5000 to record good audio and video but a lot of people say otherwise. Would like to know your setup.

Nice!!! When I get a Strat I'm gonna have to check his courses out, I'm digging your progress! Yeah, I know the looper dilemma you are in right now. I bought the Dito from Guitar Center. It was supposedly used but I don't think it was, for $60 USD. BUT...yeah my Fender Mustang doesn't have an effects loop so it does kind of suck trying to do a lead tone. So what I do is for the rhythm use my neck pickup and mess with tone & volume. Then control how loud I want the Dito to output. Then go to bridge and crank the tone back up & the volume on the guitar. It works to an extent but not all the way.

I've given Jamie's courses a lot of lusty looks and have yet to pull the trigger for just the reason you experienced.

Great content. I started playing last year myself. Currently learning from Tomo Fujita course. It's challenging but it does move your playing to another level. I Highly suggest to check it out.

A looper is a good investment, and you can use it into the front of your amp.

The 100w katana combo might be worth a shout, I believe that has an fx loop.

Hi ya ... I’ve finished Justin’s ~Beginner and have independently worked on the 5 pentatonics, scales and a quite a few bits and am starting to feel a little plateaued, which of course is to be expected ... is this worth a go, or is there more I need to do first? Before you answer, remember you’re still on my missus hit list for the Spark 😂 cheers mate

I've got to say, Snow by the Chili Peppers is considered a very difficult song to play so I'm surprised it's in that course! Under the Bridge isn't too bad, one of my favourite songs to play actually. One wee tip, don't get too bogged down over the thumb over the top chords, only do it when it's easy for you. You can still play most if not all of their songs playing regular barre chords as guys like Jimi and John Mayer have HUGE hands. Check out a live version of John Mayer playing Neon on an acoustic guitar to see some weird thumb manoeuvres, insane. Another example of the thumb over the top not being too important is Under the Bridge. As I mentioned, it's a favourite of mine to play and I've got small fat sausages for fingers (HA!). I play how Marty Guitar plays it in his lesson if you want a reference for how to play without the thumb over the top. Anyway brilliant work as always my man. :)

Why don't you get Bias FX 2? Its cheaper than a katana 100. And then yiu can use the spark as the audio interface for it and also as the speaker. And a midi pedal board controller for bias fx. Or if thats too many things. Why not get something like Helix POD Go and just use the katana you have or the spark as the speaker. With those 2 options you could load IRs and have a bunch of different new sounds as well

You once remarked before... You were interested in Fingerstyle.. but later decided that its not for you. Why is that?? Is that solely because of your influences??
