Hi Everyone,

This one is done! Here are the timestamped questions:

Weezley asked asked how to avoid sproingly brassy sounds while picking

Ronnie asked how a mode can be a major key 

Rich asked if triad voicings always need to have a root note 

Jeff had a question about what notes to play when doing double stops 

Brian was having issues getting fingers to the right place on a C chord 

Boro asked if its a good idea to memorize riffs when learning to solo 

For next time: bring your questions to the next Office Hours post, or the Office Hours community forum thread, 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!

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