42:11 How do I keep my strumming hand from being choppy when I look at my fretting hand?
44:04 Should I change to a heavier string or stay on the EJ45's? What would be the benefit?
46:26 Should you find out the tempo of a song practice at that speed or slower to start?
48:56 Why is your little finger bent?
50:08 How long should I stay on a lesson before I move on to the next lesson?
53:43 Are the beats for electronic guitars and normal guitars the same?
