Office Hours Q&A 186 | UPLOADED

Hi Everyone,

I had some technical difficulties with this stream and had to just film it. Moving my studio always causes a little cascade effect of small hardware bugs. I'll figure it out and we'll be back in business before you know it. In the meantime, enjoy this pre-filmed Office Hours.

How to Access Discord From Patreon

Checking In!

Hi Everyone,
It's been a whirlwind of chaos getting my new studio set up in the middle of holiday season. I had planned to do another live Q&A before I started tearing down but things came up and I had to get out of there!

I should be back to regular weekly live Q&A next week, and my Music Theory for Guitar II series is NEARLY ready to roll out. I also made a Diminished chords lesson with a nice PDF that I'll roll out soon h...
