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

The questions this week:

Daniel C asked for an overview of picks - thickness comparison, technique, etc

Ray asked if there is any cross over between guitar and piano

Richard had questions about this weird progression: E major D major C major

Ray asked if I ever plan to meet up with my Patrons and what is my favorite chord progression

Ray also asked if it's important to learn to read music

Daniel T asked for help building the diatonic chords in the key of C# Minor, and asked about the 7th chords

Julian asked about a practice routine AND asked me about my Fender Musicmaster, which I forgot to respond to!

John asked about planting with your picking hand

Got it. Music goals- 1 year. Write and record a song with multiple guitar parts. And vocals with garage band. be comfortable soloing through out the caged shapes in any key. 5 years. Written at least 10 songs

I like it but I would flip it like this: “Within the next five years, I’d like to be able to: 1. Write a song with multiple guitar parts 2. Write a vocal melody, which may involve learning to sing (depending on your singing chops right now) 3. Learn to use recording software well enough to be able to do all these things myself 4. Be comfortable soloing in any key throughout the CAGED system” I’d say pick the ONE thing on this list that seems most exciting (or that will make other goals easier) and make that your goal for the year. All four items might not be feasible within a year, but focusing mainly on one with a dabble in the others for the next year might be more satisfying and focused and therefore less frustrating and overwhelming. Let me know how that sounda

Thanks Scott! Good idea. I think number 4 will be my main focus for year 1. That will definitely make everything make more sense. I get lots of truck singing in to and from work. Lol. I have a cool portable multitrack recorder “tascam 800”. - for sudden inspiration. And also a small basic production package that I haven’t set up. Focusrite 2x2. Definitely a winter activity. Thanks for the advice, Scott!
