Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Debbie I never did online lessons. Wondering if she also still teaches live in New York at Guitar Salon. Where does Virginia live?

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Blaise Laflamme I never used any separate lighting, so not sure where they should be positioned for best results. There is limited floor space in the room…. Thanks!

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Blaise Laflamme I don’t have a good lighting setup. Light is from a single ceiling light which is dimmable. There is also a Bow window the room.
