Office Hours, Q&A
This was a vacation stream with a simplified setup. Hope you enjoy.
Question 1: Rohan was curious about a practice method for learning intervals
Question 2: Page Lin was curious about Hertz numbers. Turns out it IS cycles per second, which I was hazy about. But. yeah, we got into how people think they have some healing powers - I'm not convinced.
Question 3: "Skinny Bones Jones" are curious about why even bother learning Music Theory - what is it good for?
Question 4: Kevin was curious about how scales, chords, riffs, all interact. I talked about heirarchy.
Question 5: Holly was wondering how to play with people without being in person
Question 6: "John Scott Paulson" was wondering what I would have done differently if I could go back and redo things and if I've got any new lessons coming out that I'd be willing to share.
Question 7: Jun Sen asked what I think of two different fingerstyle artists. I wasn't able to look them up until after the stream while writing this, but here they are:
Sungha Jung and Kent Nishimura
They are both excellent players! And yeah, I'd practice getting to know your theory so you can pull apart the elements of a song down to their essence. We'll have to dig in more! It would certainly be a lot of work to play like them, but not impossible by any means.
