Hi Everyone,

Here are this week's questions:

Mark was having problems with maintaining tuning between multitrack recorded guitar. 

Craig was looking for some picking and finger exercises to help build up dexterity and speed. 

Frank needed guidance on getting started with loop pedals. 

Barry asked for a brief overview of walking bass lines.

Frank asked about powering pedals on pedal boards and staying on rhythm while looping.

Here's how it works: bring your questions to the comments below, 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.

Hi Scott, I love what you're doing! It's a pleasure to see a person who has found their true purpose in life and is really living it. I was wondering if you could give us some picking and finger exercises to practice. I'm trying to build up dexterity and speed. I'd also like to learn how to practice really stretching out my fingers when fretting and soloing. Thanks for making learning music fun again!

Thanks so much Scott! Sadly, I wasn't able to tune in live. But that fiddle tune is exactly the kind of thing I'm after. I also am no athlete. And rote exercises drain my enthusiasm. Thanks for giving me something musical to keep it fun. Do you happen to remember the name of that fiddle tune?
