Hi Everyone,

This was a great stream! Here are the questions

Question 1: Mateus was curious about pick harmonics 

Question 2: Dennis wanted to know about blues turnarounds. Here is a jam track and here is another 

Question 3: Dennis also had a question about the chord progression Emajor G major Amajor.

Question 4: Rohan was wondering wether or not to learn note names on the guitar while learning the scales. My answer is complicated!

Question 5: Mr K was curious about converting Twinkle Twinkle to Lydian. Among other things, I recommended checking out MTM Reharmonization lessons 

Question 6: Rohan had a question about how to practice scales and I dove deep on practice methods

Question 7: C.H. Barron had a question about wether the root notes in the CAGED system stay put or move around. I used the camera guitar to explain a few things.

Question 8: Rohan was wondering when to move on from MTFG 01, AND where to watch this stream later. It will always be available after the stream AND you can check out previous streams in the Lesson Archive.

Question 9: James was wondering about the usefulness of the circle of fifths. I talked about it a bit and also pointed James toward my Music Theory for Guitar (MTFG) series.

If you have any followup questions or eureka moments you'd like to share, check out the community forum.

Not to be a question hog, but I am going to try to sneak away from work for a bit to tune into the live stream. I like to strum E,G,A just to practice. Those are 3 easy chords for me to fret and I like the way it sounds when I am practicing strumming. I started to look closer at them as a chord progression. I *think* I'm playing the key of E, the "I, IV" and I am borrowing the "G" from the parallel minor (Em). Is that correct? I was also reading about the C Lydian scale which has all three notes E,G,A which is why I am once again confused. Thanks!

While one is learning to play major scales on the CAGED shape, would you also advise that one learns the note names as well, in those shapes which is a C Major Scale?
