Office Hours Q&A 186 | UPLOADED
Hi Everyone,
I had some technical difficulties with this stream and had to just film it. Moving my studio always causes a little cascade effect of small hardware bugs. I'll figure it out and we'll be back in business before you know it. In the meantime, enjoy this pre-filmed Office Hours.

Hi Everyone,
I made this quick video showing you how to access Discord from Patreon.
I was already signed in when I tried this method, so there will be two differences for you:
1. If you DO have a Discord account, clicking the link under the Membership tab will ask you to sign into Discord. Once you do, you should automatically be added to my SPJ Discord.
2. If you do NOT have a Discord account, clicking the link will require you to create a discord account. From the...

Hi Everyone,
A patron requested this lesson, so I made it. Let me know if you like this informal format.
Also, check out the PDF below to help you understand the difference between diminished triads, fully diminished chords, and half diminished chords.
Checking In!
Hi Everyone,
It's been a whirlwind of chaos getting my new studio set up in the middle of holiday season. I had planned to do another live Q&A before I started tearing down but things came up and I had to get out of there!
I should be back to regular weekly live Q&A next week, and my Music Theory for Guitar II series is NEARLY ready to roll out. I also made a Diminished chords lesson with a nice PDF that I'll roll out soon here.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you enjoy! See you at the next one.
Here are the questions:
Question 1 (2:42) - Tyler is looking for tips to come up with interesting finger picking patterns.
Question 2 (17:35) - Ray is looking for a compact explanation of modes and how to apply them.
