Our series of courses are meant to help you start learning a new skill like guitar, piano, ballroom dance, drums, painting or photography. Although the courses are designed to take you from beginner to mastery level, there is just way too much information on each of the topics to fit into the course. We have lots of different ways to get that additional information, but I wanted to highlight our blogs.
Originally, and not too long ago, this was the only blog we had. Recently, however, we've had an explosion (well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration) of blogs. First we upgraded our Student Support Forum and with the upgrade, our forum members can now start a full, dedicated blog within the forum itself. Next came our Guitar Blog. The Guitar Blog was a necessary step as we have so much knowledge of guitar and need to find ways to share it. Then, Gayle Levee, the instructor for the painting course, started a blog on our student support forums. Last - at least for now - we're planning a photography blog that will launch in the Spring, closer to the release of our photography course.
You can visit our Blogs Page for a portal to all of our blogs. I'll also list them below for you. We're excited to fill these blogs with lots of great information to help
you advance to the next level of whatever skill you are working on!
This is your source to all things guitar related. From beginner tips to advanced tricks and everything in between. You'll also get contests and a few sale announcements...but mainly we'll provide hard-hitting guitar articles.
Start your own and join our students in blogging your way through the courses. Share your successes and struggles and interact with other students. It's a great way to record your progress.
Gayle posts often about her paintings and life as an artist. Read some great, inside, painting tips and find out more about improving as an artist yourself!

Here is a quick quote from one of our members about the community:
"Learn and Master Guitar is the best thing that has happened
to me in a long time. I researched this course and determined I would take a
chance on it. I had my doubts, but I took the plunge so to speak. I have not
looked back. I thought it was great that we had extra material in the form of
the bonus material. Now this brand new forum.We have
been given a place to find answers, to discuss and exchange ideas, we can talk
privately or openly to each other. We can display our individual talents and
progress. We can share with each other.” - Scott, Tucson, AZ
This is a very good place to thank all our members for your contributions. Whether you've made one post or more than 6,000 posts (yes, we have some!), you are the reason our forum is so helpful, encouraging and a great resource for those learning and playing guitar. From all here at Legacy Learning Systems, we would like to extend a big.....THANK YOU!!!
We are super excited to announce the brand new Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar course today! It's been news we've sat on for some time now...but no longer. There's no secret we have been working with Gibson for a while now, the biggest project being the Gibson Learn & Master Guitar app for iPhone. Steve Krenz, instructor for Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar, had wanted to re-shoot the original Learn & Master Guitar course to update it for a little while. After the iPhone app project went so well with Gibson, we started thinking, "Hey, what if we co-branded a guitar course? Well, everyone loved the idea and the relationship with Gibson took another BIG step forward.
"So what's included?" you ask? I'll tell you:
20 professionally produced DVDs filmed in HD with over 40 hours of instruction.
5 Jam-Along CDs.
100+ page lesson book.
Unlimited access to our online student support site.
Plus: interesting stories scattered throughout about guitars, Gibson and guitar history!
But don't take MY word for it, here's a video (it's much more authoritative!!)
Along with the Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar course release, you might find that the Learn & Master website has a new look to it too. We felt this was a great time to update our look and do a little overhaul of the site. Not everything has changed yet, but will be soon!
Along with the new Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar course and the new site, here are some great resources you might find helpful:
Student Community - a forum for each of our courses to help provide encouragement, answers and tips.
Sample Guitar Lessons - preview a few of the lessons so you know what to expect from the course.
