Beginner Guitar Academy

I would love a podcast that talks about strengthening you hands to hold a pick after an injury. I have to hold my pick with my thumb and middle finger on my right hand (missing the tip of my index finger). I tend to shy away from playing with a pick because of the struggle with holding a pick and doing it well. Thank you for your podcast.

Geared more for begineer to intermediate lpayers, the Begineer Guitar Academy hawks a hybrid online guitar program which blends a typical online guitar course with an individual instructor who checks your playing (via videos you submit) once or twice a month as well as remaining available for emailed questions when one is stuck. However, thiis is typically only the first couple minutes of the podcast; the balance of the podcast is content ranging from very useful information for beginners to intermediate guitarists to more general information about playing guitar & notable guitarists to more advanced & esoteric information for intermediate to early advanced guitarists. It's a very useful & entertaining for anyone interesting in playing guitar, playing guitar better, or just appreciating really good guitarists. Unfortunately most of the downloads and supplemental materials are limited to Academy members, but sometimes Paul releases some really useful materials.

I tried listening to this podcast but had to give up. The speaker is rattling on so fast he doesn’t even fully pronounce words. Difficult to follow closely, irritating as all get out. There are far better programs doing this same thing.

Each episode is packed with usable tips to help me move forward with my guitar studying. I always listen to the episode as soon as it is in my feed. Highly recommend!
