Hi Everyone,
Join me TOMORROW, Friday the 7th, 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/uEF3WXMg9Rc
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, right now I'm in the process of learning to solo over chord changes it feels so hard to keep track of all the notes of the major or petatonic scale with the changing chords, is there any way to think about this to make it easier to keep track of or do I just gotta power through with more practice? Also, do you recommend learning the intervals I'm playing in this process or do I worry about this later, I only solo over the major or minor scales and let my ear decide which note to play, I don't really know why it feels the way it does, I know it's because certain intervals have their own emotional sound sorta speak, but I don't know which interval I'm playing, is it M3, a P5 or a M7, beats me.

The other day I was playing one of the first progressions I put together, but by accident int the wrong place, up a whole tone. It sounded really nice, but trying to get back to the normal key was tricky. Could you demonstrate how to make a key change properly. I guess I need to find a tone/chord common to both keys?

I know I can improve my guitar playing, but until I reach that level (if ever!), is there a way to equalize the volume using the software? I guess that for the high peaks we could use the compressor but what about the low peaks we want to rise up? I would appreciate very much your help, because this is a real pain. Thanks a lot.
