Patreon is being a bit slow today so I wasn't able to let you know sooner, but I'm going live in a few minutes here! I hope you can make it! Bring ANY questions for me.

Hi Everyone,

Join me this Friday, the 1st for another live Q&A.

If the above link isn’t working for you, here is a link to watch directly on YouTube: https://youtu.be/r7xRZTNwpx4

Here's how it works: bring your questions to the comments below, the community forum, or save them for the live chat.* Questions can be about anything you want - guitar technique, music theory, gear, songwriting - your choice! Also, feel free to link a video of you playing if you have a technique question!

I'll do my best to answer your questions and give examples of how you can practice developing skills related to your question.

Keep in mind, you can always watch later if you can't make it live! Check back a few hours after the stream for a numbered list of each question and a timestamped link to each answer.

*Please note: you may need a youtube/gmail account to ask questions in the live stream, but you can watch without one.

Hi Scott, a little late but a big THANK YOU for addressing my question. I will check out your suggested videos to improve my chord playing. Have a great Sunday! Andy

As I’m watching you answer my question, I’m fascinated at your teaching technique and the way you’re able to convey things so clearly in so many ways, do you teach the exact same way in person as well?

Scott, I’ve been watching the strumming videos lately, and lovveee the reduction method, and just the whole putting it on paper idea. Is this something that we should implement when writing our songs? Or mostly to begin understanding strumming? I would love to be able to write songs with more complex strumming, etc. also, I find it hard to not count when I’m doing the reduction method, thus making it hard to imagine singing to the strums, any tips for this?

Hi Scott! My question is about finding a guitar teacher. I've been playing for a little over three years, self-taught so far, and I've gotten to the point where I feel stuck. I think I need the one-on-one guidance of a teacher in order to get better. The thing is, it's been kind of daunting to find one. Googling brings up so many results that I don't know where to begin, and asking around my circle of friends only produced leads that flaked out. (The pandemic didn't help either.) I live in L.A. so I know there's no shortage of musicians around me! But how to proceed? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
