Hi Everyone,

Join me Thursday, May 9th at 10AM Pacific Time for the weekly live Q&A.

If the video above isn’t working for you, here is a link to watch directly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAoRrHfHZH4

Here's how it works: bring your questions to the comments below, the Office Hours community forum thread, 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 develop 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.

Office Hours Q&A 159 | THURSDAY, May 8, 10AM Pacific Time

Question from Cormack: "Because I write by myself and tend to write one piece at a time (guitar, bass, or drums, etc) it feels hard to leave space for other instruments to shine. Two days ago i was playing one of my guitar songs to a bassist friend of mine, and he said he couldnt add much to it due to the lack of "space" i had for other instruments. Would you be able to make a video/explain to me how to write songs by myself, but still be able to include room for other instruments?"
