SPANISH GUITAR For Beginners & Beyond - 14 days FREE: realguitarsuccess.com/signup-spanish-guitar-beginners
Hi there, and I want to extend a big thank you to all of you who joined me for another fantastic session of Real Guitar Success (RGS) Live!
We covered a wide range of interesting topics, that I always find a lot of fun as it puts me back in the shoes of being a beginner guitar student again! I love being able to help you all along your guitar learning journey.
We talked about everything from how to properly use a capo, to how to find the key of a song, to what guitar strings I recommend, and more! Check out the whole video, and there are timestamps for each question as well.
If you missed this week's live session, don't worry! We do this every month on the first Thursday of the month.
**The next RGS Live is scheduled for Thursday, September 1st at 12 pm PDT/3 pm EDT. You can find that live session at this link - youtu.be/cDWDrXHSuGk **
