    In MAIN.agc there is a list of bugger words. Not that I know assembly in any meaningful way, but I've never come across this term before. On Googling, it seems to be something to d…

    Thanks Mike, that's helped me see where I need to focus my attention. I was looking at direct webcam recording, but was going to add that later. But given your comments I think tha…

    Thanks for the comments Matt. Having at least one person say 'I would use this' is a nice boost! I wasn't going to have it exclusively for guitar, but musical instrument lessons ar…
