Saw this Truefire course on pre-release today, from the video it looks good.

I checked out the video. Looks like a decent course. He covers a lot of ground, and I like that acknowledges that surf has evolved over the decades. I thought the Cuban inspired tune was pretty cool and would be worth putting some effort into learning. I'm not a fan of what I saw of his double picking technique. I'm sure he wanted to get some in there, but as many of us know, you have to put in the time to really get it. All in all, for those of you interested, I say go for it, you'll probably learn some good stuff. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

Surf is a VERY overlooked genre by almost all online courses. It's really hard to find them, so I think I'll grab this chance... |

I've bought courses by Jason Loughlin before and theyre quite good. I would expect the same of this one. |

Bought it today, the lessons are in song format as opposed to licks. Initial impression is good. |

ARGH!!!!! I just wish for once, one of these things would research deep enough to at least get their history straight. It's really not that difficult! Especially these days, all the info you need is readily available on the internet! It is inexcusable to cite bands representing incorrect decades. —Insect Surfers Last edited: Oct 10, 2017 19:50:42 |

Here is Jason performing the Tiki piece from the Truefire course: He might not have nailed the core of classic surf in his lesson (and yes his history lesson is a bit shaky), but you have to appreciate etudes based on Tiki, Hawaiian, and Cuban (Manuel Galban) styles, all of which he nailed, IMO. Sounds like he was purposely trying to expand the teaching repertoire and he did. These courses run about $15 on sale..very decent entertainment value in my book. BTW, Jason just released an excellent Truefire lesson on country guitar solo styles..just as diverse as the surf course. Nice Mexican etude that many surf players will appreciate. |
