Hi Everyone,

These were the questions:

Question 1: Jeffery was wondering how to practice when you lose motivation - I also recommend checking out Practice Thoughts 

Question 2: Richard had questions about soloing over specific chord progressions. I strongly recommend MTM lessons 17 18 19 for melody making and CAGED Soloing for applying that information specifically to the CAGED system.

Question 3: Jeffery was wondering how I write my ideas down when I don't have access to my recording equipment

Question 4: David was asking if there is an app for quickly tabbing ideas

Question 5: BB was asking about ear training advise. I recommend spotify roulette plus my course on Ear Training.

Hey Scott, I will join the stream if I can but I think it will conflict with work so thank you in advance for answering if I don't see it live; I will catch up the next day! I'm having a little trouble understanding how the pentatonic scale is generally played over chords and what is going to sound good. Lets say we're playing in the key of D major, playing a I-IV chord progression (D to G). I know that the D major pentatonic scale will sound great over the D major chord, but when the song changes to the G major chord, what would usually happen here? Is D major pentatonic still valid to use and going to sound okay? Part 2: I also know that the major pentatonic doesn't sound great over minor chords, so if it's a I–IV–vi–V progression and I'm playing the major pentatonic scale, what would would happen when we reach the vi chord? Should I change to the minor pentatonic instead and emphasise the relative minor notes in the pentatonic scale rather than the major ones? Thanks again, and have a great Christmas!

Hey Scott, I just wanted you to know I recently got sober after 30 years of heavy heavy drinking and your lessons are changing my life! I'm self taught for 30 years now, and your starter lessons are mind blowing and give me a whole new world to focus on. I'm playing guitar again after 3 years of nothin and I'm hitting g the ground running with your courses. Just, thank you for making it so easy to understand and so much fun!! God bless you 🙏 ❤️

Just wanted to say thanks for answering this in so much detail and I'm sorry I wasn't there! It was very well explained as always and makes a lot more sense now - my mind is blown! And thanks also Jeffrey - you understood my question right! Merry christmas all :)
