    My favorite guitarist Billy Gibbons and my favorite TrueFire instructor Jeff McErlaine. What’s not to like? Jeff’s TrueFire course Play in the Style of Billy Gibbons was first TrueFire course I bought. It is EXCELLENT! I have 18 of Jeff’s TrueFire courses and they are all extremely well developed and practical courses. No, this is not a paid ad I am just a big fan of Jeff’s teaching AND playing...

      I'm a latecomer to Jeff but Billy G was one of first generation of my "guitar heroes". I recently just bought the Billy G course for same reason. I'm loving both Jeff's guitar playing, knowledge and great attitude :)

    Can’t understand the thumbs down, either. Jeff plays from-the-heart, straight forward blues/rock. To his credit, he doesn’t come on here and pretend he’s Warren Dimartini, George Lynch, Vito Bratta, or any other 80’s shredder (note: not a knock on those guys...personally, I love their playing!). Point is, Jeff’s not flaunting his guitar collection, pedals, amps, etc., and/or trying to get us to drop hundreds of bucks on virtual lessons. He’s simply sharing his love of music that matters. Keep doing what you do, Jeff...I’m a fan!👍

    Well done and helpful. I really like this sound. In the 70’s I was learning and playing an aggressive, edgy fingerpicking acoustic blues stuff with some slide. All I did was buy Delta and big city blues stuff and listen over and over. I had a huge library. Had to sell most of it during some hard times.

    I've been revisiting the first few ZZ Top albums since last year, and was really saddened hearing of Dusty's passing last week. I've ben wanting to get into hybrid picking for some time, but just assumed it wasn't in the cards for my 30+ years of self taught playing. This lesson seriously helped inspire me to stick with it and devote the time needed to eventually begin pulling it off!
