OFFICE HOURS 108 | EQ, slide guitar, moveable shapes, Chet Atkins

Hi Everyone,

The questions:

Mark R asked if I could walk through how to EQ a track

Ray had questions about slide guitar and the fitting context for 11th and 13th chords. Here is a slide guitar lesson I made last year 

Ethan asked about something related to notifications: Basically, I try to send an alert that the stream is starting roughly an hour beforehand, but you can also subscribe to my little Patreon YouTube channel and click the bell for notifications, I think - has anyone tried this and does it work?

Harsh had a question about what to practice on the days when it's a drag to pick up the guitar.

Roscopico had a question about movable shapes, relative keys, and dominant chord.

Andy had a question about Chet Atkins style barrel rolls and another question about thin vs thick picks.

Harsh had another question about whether I have more beginner tracks for technique and stuff. I don't. I'm trying to fill a specific niche here on my Patreon, but maybe someday I'll have a beginner track. I gave some beginner picking advise.

David asked how I switch cameras

I tried to fix the link but it lokos like it still won't work. I don't know what the deal is. The link structure is different from my typical streams. Don't know why. I'll see if this happens with the next stream

Skills and Playability of certain MTFG exercises are turning out to be limiting factors. Right now I am building skill level specific to those exercises. Is this the right approach or Should I already possess that skill level to execute that exercise before I start ? Do you have a separate course for skill level progression that you would recommend along with or after MTFG ?

Hi Scott I'm trying to play at least 5 days a week. I'm prioritizing the habit over the perfection. Somedays it's extremely difficult just to keep going. Any suggestions on what I should focus on those days? I feel like consistently playing is the key but need some tips from a mindset/strategy for those kind of days perspective. Harsh

Ethan - I usually send out an email an hour or half hour before the stream letting people know it's starting soon. Last week I forgot!

Scott Paul Johnson

Last week you mentioned an email notification regarding Office Hours. I don't get a notification. What settings should I have in order to make sure I get the notifications?

Ethan B

Also in what situations would you tend to use chord extensions such as 11ths and 13ths? Thanks.

Hi Scott, Any tips on playing slide guitar?

Hey Scott, any chance of a demonstration of basic EQ'ing on a track? ie drums, bass, 2 guitars (with an effect i.e distortion? if possible) and a vocal maybe?.
