Office Hours Q&A 169 | Thursday, August 15, 10:00AM

Hi Everyone,

Join me TOMORROW. Thursday the 15th at 10AM Pacific Time for the weekly live Q&A.

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

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.

Something I’ve been looking into is shell chords or voicings, these are great but you don’t hear much about them in the YouTube guitar world, experienced guitarist use them quite regularly as I’m seeing in my studies. Is there much difference between these and triads? Or are they really one in the same?

Hi Scott. I have been using a metronome to try to increase my picking speed a little. It seems a lot of people online say you have to anchor your palm on the bridge. I tried and it seems very unatural to me. When I think about it, it seems I (sort of) anchor my forearm and sometimes touch with my little finger for a reference. What do you think about anchoring?
