Office Hours, Q&A
This week there were some great questions.
Question 1: Todd was curious about downloading lessons from my Patreon
Question 2: Dennis was curious about roman numerals and capo's. Specifically, what happens to chords when you move them up or down?
Question 3: Davin was curious about best practices for recording acoustic guitar with a dynamic mic. I also got into a little bit of EQ and compression for acoustic guitar.
Question 4: Gabriel also had a question about capos - I recommend checking out Dennis's question above, but also, once you're done with Music Theory for Guitar, the CAGED System Basics series will really help drive these concepts home.
Question 5: Mateus had a question about how to set the intonation on your guitar. I should have specified that I was referring specifically to electric guitar. Acoustic guitars generally require the saddle to be carved to achieve what can be done with a few turns of a screwdriver on an electric guitar.
Question 6: Kylir was curious about how to find arpeggios and use them in soloing. Among other things, I recommended CAGED System Basics and CAGED Soloing, to help find chord tones.
Question 7: Kylir was wondering what lessons I'm putting out next
Question 8: Davin had a question about how to teach guitar to kids
Question 9: Mateus was wondering how to finish a song
Question 10: Nathan was wondering if I have any series on learning specific genres.
Question 11: Kylir was wondering how/when to get started on community challenges
Question 12: Tim was curious about how to avoid back pain when practicing guitar
