Is it not playing?

Scott Paul Johnson

Does anyone else have trouble with this video?

Yamuzika

That curiosity will lead you down a never-ending path of fun and learning

Scott Paul Johnson

It’s nice to hear from you that i am on the right track… lately i was bored of always playing the same songs the same way so i started doing exactly this, but wasn’t sure if i found another way of wasting my time…

KENNETH Fiend

Yes! If you're not having fun, your audience won't. Find what you like, what you want, what inspires and interests you.

Scott Paul Johnson

Sigh… this is all I want to do. I think that I put too much pressure on myself and I don’t even start. I need to loosen up.

Hi Enrique! I'm sorry to hear that! Are you using Patreon, or are you using the Lesson Archive area of my website to find videos?

Scott Paul Johnson

The SW is too complex . I have been trying to go to "Practice thoughts " 3 times and it keeps bouncing back to ask me to join Patreon ( I had already geiven myID and PW)

Hey Scott, I like your practice-video-collection of the C Major and Am Scales! I practice them every day! Are you going to make more of those in other keys?If not I think I'll try to figure some out on my own with your scratch papers! I would totally watch them because Im looking forward to learn the tone positions on the fretboard and they seem to get me kind of an overview! Thanks for what you're doing here - I love it!

Anna Rohrbach

This answered a question i was making myself for days

Patreon is being difficult today - click the link in the description for the video - hopefully this is a one time glitch

Scott Paul Johnson

Hi-

dozha

Link works. Good Practice thoughts. More ideas on this kind of thing are always welcome!

Haven't finished the video yet but got to the part where it said to let you know if we'd like more creative things to think about. I'd love more creative things to think about!

Josh Firlotte

Uh oh! Looks like I have to fix it

Scott Paul Johnson

Same here.

Tom Frisicaro

Me too!

Peter Gower

Same here

And when I click on it from your main patreon page as opposed to opening this post up in it's own window, it opens up another window of your main patreon page

Josh Firlotte

For some reason for me, the video just opens up another page that says 'oh no, looks like you got lost'
