00:01:21 - Do you have any tips for endings that make a song sound professional and polished (specifically for rhythm guitar - accompaniment playing)?
00:07:46 - I recently bought a Fender Strat and I would like to play some blues and country. What should be the first 3 to 5 things I should focus on learning. (I play Acoustic guitar open chords now, I don’t know barre chords yet).
00:12:26 - Are electric guitars easier to play for persons with or advancing arthritis?
00:16:01 - I seem to have a hard time relaxing the fingers on my fretting hand. As a result my left arm tires too quickly and I am starting have pain in my left elbow. Any advice?
00:21:08 - When we make chords in the fretboard area (frets 1 and 2 mostly), is there a lesson or exercise to build the strength in that area so chord stops buzzing?

00:29:55 - I just started doing fingerstyle, I have a hard time getting volume on the 5th and 6th strings, maybe just need more practice?
00:32:30 - I've been playing awhile and have pretty good callouses, but recently I have had a very tender middle fingertip and don't play, any idea on how to keep this from occurring?
00:35:30 - What can we do to keep our thumb and fretting hand in the middle of the fretboard, my thumb keeps wanting to creep up but still in the back.
