    This is definitely the ultimate guitar tone course. The presenters are not amateurs trying to fake it until they make it. They are connected with and have worked together with hall of fame level musicians and share their firsthand experience. (Designing a pedal board for Joe Perry of Aerosmith is good enough for me!)

    They go very deep and I had to watch the videos a few times to digest what they were saying. After playing around and experimenting, I will go back and watch them again.

    One thing that I will say… if you just picked up your first electric guitar and amplifier last week, you may find yourself a bit lost. This is quite advanced material. I would still recommend it, though. Start immersing yourself and learn the right way. Don’t waste your time trying to be self-taught using the internet. The presenters in this course will definitely not lead you astray.

    I am a bass player who plays a little guitar and keyboards. Just want to learn more about creating tones for guitars and baritone.

    I was a bit disappointed that this course seems to focus so much on vintage gear and specific guitar and amp combinations that many beginner to intermediate players don’t own. The course also focusses very heavily on early rock players, so if you’re into other styles of music, don’t expect too much. The section on effects was ok to learn about how the various effects are used, and suggested placement of effects in the signal chain, but didn’t really get into how to use each effect…like what the knobs did and how to set them to get good tone. A lot of it assumes that you have preexisting knowledge of all this vintage gear. I learned a few things, but much less then i had hoped for

    Hard to understand the words for non-native english speaker.
    Using too much technical buzzwords, without explaining them.
    Focusing too much time on not such important stuff.
    Badly structured course.

    To be honest, I have learned so much more from few youtube videos and few articles than in this course.

    David is very personable and you can tell he is very excited to teach this course. I am also excited because this is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve struggled with guitar tone for a long time

    Once upon a time I bought a Boss Overdrive pedal; I was really disappointed with it. Truth be told this course has taught me that I wasn’t even using it right. And what’s so ridiculous is that bad experience I had based on my own inexperience coloured all my guitar effects choices from that point on. Well, no more. Dave and Rooster laid a great foundation here by starting with the scientific principles of how the guitar actually makes sound – this I found incredibly helpful. The course builds from there into practical application of the plethora of amps/effects/guitars. Now although music can be a creative experimental process there’s no doubt that sometimes there are “dos and don’ts”, and this course really helped me to see that. My thoughts on where the course might be lacking: I think it needs one or two more videos. I’d suggest 1) on more modern musicians – especially interesting ones like the smashing pumpkins; and 2) also just the really commonplace super heavy distortion of modern popular metal bands like Slipknot, or Periphery. Although to be fair Misha Mansoor from Periphery shares much of this himself; so the course helps me navigate the internet a bit better. Highly recommended.

    This course had a far broader, and in depth knowledge base than I was expecting.. and really well presented. I’ve already learnt so much more than expected… and I’ve only watched the first epicode!…AWESOME!
