The third of the new format JustinGuitar Live Show was awesome once we got over a few technical difficulties at the start! :) Thanks so much for bearing with me while I got it sorted - hence the shorter Beginner session this week. So below you'll find the show, edited into two, part 1 being a beginner hour and part 2 being the Open Session for general Q & A.
If someone had time it would be awesome to note the questions I answered as they watch it and email it to me so I can add it here for easy reference for others ;)
