We had a great time in today’s Real Guitar Live Q&A Session! We went over my 5 Essential Music Theory Tips for Beginner Guitar Players, plus I gave out a BONUS tip! Some great questions came up regarding strumming techniques, how to best play bar chords, as well as how to deal with making mistakes while practicing a song, plus many more!
Thank you to all who made it, and to those of you who would like to make it to my next session, tune in on the first Thursday of any month at 12 pm P.T. The next session will be on Thursday, April 7th! Mark your calendars!!
