Hi Everyone,

Join me in about an hour, at 10AM Pacific Time for the weekly live Q&A. Shortly afterward, I'll post a link for the Biweekly Community Challenge.

If the video above isn’t working for you, here is a link to watch directly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4M7bCdHZgI

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.

Hey Scott, So I have a question. I am currently following your recommended lesson plan. I have made it to c shape in caged basics. I went through all the basic theory and have all the lessons printed and I go back and visit the homework on a regular basis because these are the basics that I have been missing for 20 years. So here's my question. I have always loved that blues sound. And have recently become obsessed with T-Bone Walker (I know, cliche right?). Listening to him and B.B. king, Freddy King, Lightning Hopkins, and a touch of Wes Montgomery and everything else my streaming service throws in when I got to track radio, I just want to binge YouTube for tutorials and copy that sound. But. I want to understand what makes that sound and understand what I'm doing. Your major/minor/dim/Aug lessons in the theory was a good start. Can you recommend a focused path through your material that will help me achieve the goal of playing this style and having a basic understanding of it as well? Resources you might recommend? Thanks for your time.
