    Another great transcription. This is a master class in forensic analysis 😉
    I only wish I could play all of this, but until that day, it’s great to be able to follow along with the record and picture Mark King’s fingers flying across the fret board.
    I was bold enough to ask Stuart about some passing notes that I wasn’t 100% sure about, and not only did he write back to me by return, he even checked out the recording to confirm what I was asking about. A superb product, and superb service.
    I’ve signed up for the video lessons off the back of the book purchases, and I feel like I’ve had value for money from there on the first day.
