Hi Everyone,

Here are the questions for this stream:

Question 1: Mr K was wondering how to set up a guitar for drop C tuning with heavier strings.

Question 2: Adam wanted a better sense of what the word "resolve" means in music.

Question 3: Ahmed had a question about phrasing

Question 4: Ahmed was ALSO wondering if you have to THINK about the name of each note you're playing. No, but I go into more detail!

Question 5: Graham asked if watching and learning famous solos and phrases is a good way to learn good phrasing. Yes, BUT

Question 6: Mojo Jeff asked if I have plans to teach any funk guitar rhythm. I already have to some degree in my Strumming Patterns series on 16th note patterns.

Question 7: Zoe had a question about thirds - I went into a pretty fun example of how thirds can be so fun! I played along to this jam track from my SPJ Jam tracks channel.
