Hi Everyone,

Here are the questions from this week. Each question has a timestamped link.

Question 1: Dennis had a question about combining sus chords and 7th chords.

Question 2: Sean was curious about 440Hz - I deep dived (dove?) into the idea with EQ software

Question 3: Davin was feeling unclear on mastering, compression, and limiters. There is a LOT to it so I tried to first provide some context, then explain what mastering is. Then I talked about compressors a little more specifically.

Question 4: Robert was wondering if I had some scratch paper for intervals and scale degrees - i recommended making one! I've attached some scratch paper. 

Question 5: Phil had a question about amp settings - since I don't have a lesson about that stuff yet, I did a quick tutorial about it.

Hi! So, I'm new. I hope it's okay to post this. On the amp settings thing -- That Pedal Show did an interview a few years ago with Matt Schofield, where he demonstrated his method for finding the sweet spot on an amp. I guess Rhett Shull uses the same technique, a lot of session guys do it -- it's a Thing, apparently, but I'd never heard of it before. Usually when people online ask for help dialing in an amp, everyone just says "Use your ears." I think the term for it is "pot sweeping"? Anyway, it completely blew my mind when I tried it, and I've been doing it ever since. I recommend anyone struggling to get a good tone give it a try. https://youtu.be/shAtnDUXGlQ?t=1543

And here we go again... the feeling that we are stealing from you with just 10 bucks monthly comes back. That piano trick? Dude... that's awesome 👌
