This might sound dumb, but I don't see the option on mine to "use color from gradient".

I'm sure I'm missing something here.

Thanks for the tutorial and comments. I've just begun playing with gradients and I'm discovering how amazing they can be. Right now, I'm concentrating on the basics but I hope to progress well over the winter.

I thought I would give this tut a try, but very quickly fell foul of the difference between GIMP versions being the 2.6 the PDF represents and my system 2.8! No way could I get a brush size of 0.50; so I just kept increasing the size until I got some colour ... but by holding down the left mouse button as directed all I got was red! So eventually I learned that short strokes with the button held then release the button achieved all colours in the gradient.

Gimp certainly keeps its neophytes on their toes especially re brush settings .. probably a very good thing!
