Office Hours, Q&A
In this stream we covered these topics:
• The difference between 3 notes per string and the CAGED system - drawing some key thoughts about how they interact.
• Strategies for how to make things more interesting when you're playing a "boring" guitar part for the full duration of a song - how to zoom in on practicing more specificity with rhythm and how to make things more interesting with different voicings and whatnot.
• How half diminished chords are typically used and what that sounds like - if you find other uses for a half diminished chord, feel free to share in the community forum!
• Resources for practicing rhythm guitar. I suggest my Rhythm guitar playlist combined with my Strumming Patterns series - that should get you some fun resources to practicing strumming patterns.
• Techniques for how to practice singing in tune better - ways to dig in on vocal control and thinking clearly about what note you're playing.
• Places to find people to play music with and what skills you'll need to play with other people. Basically, do a google search for open mics in your area (when the pandemic allows, obviously.)
• Wether you ought to know what notes you're playing at all times.
