Anyway I am having fun with the Blues course and learning a LOT. Anders is a really good player and sure knows his stuff.


So going through the lessons one thing that was enlightening was Christopher's lesson where he shows you how to hold a guitar properly with a strap. Thank should be a mandatory first lesson for everyone. Sure took away my back and wrist pain.


I have a 50's Squire Strat and the Fender Mustang LT25 and am having a blast learning and am going slow.


Want to do the Blues and Rock course and not sure if I should do LVL1 with both before going to LVL2.


I am older and love Classic Rock and Blues and also Jazz.

Got a link to that "how to hold a guitar with a strap" lesson?  I thought I had it down but with a few of the recent lessons I've had a little wrist or back pain so I'm game to see what you're talking about.

I have a sedinetary job, but try to stay phsyically active, so my pain could just be from sitting most of the day and not hitting the gym enough the past three weeks.
