Truefire course recommendations?

[Erik S]

Sweetwater got me in a moment of weakness and I signed up for a year of access to Truefire.

I searched the forum and it looked like there are a few folks here who have used it. Anything I should check out?

Also - any general suggestions for how to navigate/ search the offerings? I don't know if it's me or the interface, but I felt a little lost searching around.

I'm a big fan of Eric Haugen. I've only done his caged course but it was really helpful

And beware the auto renewal. I just got hosed by it unexpectedly

He's great. The one course I watched a little was one of his. I catch some of his youtube stuff, and he's always plugging truefire, which is a big part of why I gave it a shot.

The Pat Martino one is a trip, but do t expect anything playable walking away. It’s like quantum theory…

Eric Haugan gives off a bit of Bob Ross (paint instructor) vibe to me. Which is neither good or bad, just an observation.

If you like blues rock, the Jeff McErlain courses are good. I like his style and teaching over many of the others--his licks seem to come from a classic rock influence (e.g. a lot of british blues and zz top).

There are some older lessons from Mattieu Brandt that really turned on to some gaps I had in fretboard knowledge.

For fingerpicking I like David Hamburger.

I've been meaning to learn from some of the Jazz courses but don't know where to start.
