Weekly Wednesday Q&A with Juha Ruokangas
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! I make guitars for my living. These podcasts, however, are not about selling my guitars to you. I make my Q&A videos and podcasts 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.
