Weekly Wednesday Live Q&A with Juha Series Description: "Let's talk about guitars. I'll do my best to help you understand your instrument better, and give all tips I can, so you could get the most out of your guitar and enjoy making your music even more!

A little disclaimer - these live streams are not about selling my guitars to you, but an attempt to help you get more out of the guitar you already own, and understand your instrument better. The brand or monetary value of your guitar doesn't make a difference, either."
