I do this every week!

Question 1: Noah wanted some understanding around time signatures

Question 2: Graeme had questions around buying used equipment without seeing/playing it first.

Question 3: Chris K was wondering why strumming on an electric is harder/different from an acoustic and was looking for pointers to make that transition easier.

Question 4: Nis-Momme was noticing the phenomenon of inconsistent technique from day to day and wanted some ideas for how to deal with it. I'd recommend Practice Thoughts for some encouragement as well.

Question 5: Ray struggles with singing and playing and was looking for advise on how to practice.

Question 6: Ahmed was wondering about my use of the pentatonic scale as a "canvas." I recommend MTM 15

Question 7: Mark R was curious about my Gibson ES-125T 3/4

Question 8: Joseph wanted to know what recording software I used in my Community Challenges: Logic Pro X Check out my GarageBand series to get started with the basics.

Question 9: Kevin has issues with catching the string above on a bend. I have a few responses.

There weren't any more questions, but I showed a draft of a little tune I've been tinkering with.
