@whyte. Hi Pete, One piece of advice from me is don't fall down the rabbit hole that I've gone into. I signed up over a year ago. I've watched all the Electric and Acoustic courses twice over. I've go...

fantastic @whyte. Can't wait to see this take shape. 🙂

@Whyte Thank you 🙂

Amazing work! It looks and sounds great.
