We’ve had a few emails recently from customers who have seen that we’ve recently upgraded our Beginners and Intermediate Guitar DVDs and concerned that we are about to do the same with Bass, Drums, Vocals, Keys etc. I can confirm that we have no plans this year to replace any other of the Worship Course […]
