Clinsteadt asks, "Is there any where on the website where I can learn a whole song and not just bits and pieces of one. Plus I wanted to ask if you guys could start putting more current songs on the phase three part of the site. Most of the songs on there I haven't heard of before and it would be nice to learn some more current songs." View Response

Jzcode43 asks, "I have a gig book of scales and all of the Pentatonic minor and major are shown as Type 1 through 5. I also have a software program that has the same Pentatonic scales but their shown in positions 1 through 12. It appears that there are scales between each scale type. Can you explain what this is all about? Thanks..." View Response
Strumming - December 11th, 2007 (3 minutes, 11 seconds)
Zcarter asks, "Is there any correct way to "strum" when using the guitar? I have been strumming a specific way for a long time and I think it works okay, however one of my friends said if I keep strumming this specific way, it will be more difficult to play songs in the long run. Does it really matter how I strum? Currently, I hold the pick in between my thumb and index finger, but I think it may be a different way than most people... Thanks! Zac" View Response
