Hey all,

Just a heads-up that I just posted a 22-lesson tutorial on Acoustic Strumming for Beginners , in the Full Access area.

Whether you like folk music, campfire songs, songwriting, worship songs, bluegrass, or acoustic pop or rock, this is the place to start to build a solid acoustic strumming technique from the ground up. We'll start at the very beginning and work our way up. And along the way, you'll learn TEN songs you can play!

Here's a sneak preview:
