Going live in about 30 Minutes! Come hang out.

Here is a hard link to the Q&A: https://youtu.be/Ay9iAwxlMZ0

New here? Wondering where to start? Click here for my Patreon start page, or here for my recommended lesson plan.

Hi Everyone,

Join me tomorrow for the 73rd weekly live Q&A.

Here's how it works: bring your questions to the comments below, the community forum, 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! New Patrons are especially welcome to ask questions!

I'll do my best to answer your questions and give examples of how you can practice developing 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.

Hi Scott, if I'm playing a major chord progression like D major but choose to start on the IV, (Like IV,V,I) does this mean I'm automatically in Lydian? Also, if I do want to play a melody in Lydian, would I seek out a backing track that is in Lydian, or just the major scale?

Hey Scott, do you have any advise for getting a decent mix when recording? Listening back to a few old demos and I realize now how bad the mix was (too loud or quiet guitar/vocals, etc). At the time I think I have a decent mix, but when listening later it is cringe-worthy. How to step back and give it an objective listen, without relying on an outside ear to tell you you've got a bad mix?
