Re: Week 3: Fasten your Seatbelts! @Steve Price Thanks, Steve. So, you’ve discovered my secret source! I love that book. My only problem is the title - he calls it “Easy Guitar Recital” and there is nothing in it that I find easy.

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Steve Pederson Like everyone here, I am quite appalled at all the mistakes. And the string squeaks were just like nails on a chalkboard. It’s actually quite embarrassing that such a mistake-riddled…
