For this special session I want you to take centre stage. I would like you to have input and a moment in the spotlight. I have decided to ask you, the audience, do some of the thinking and preparation. I want you to help shape the content and the discussion. I am really keen to offer you an opportunity to be a bigger part of this club session. I want to increase audience involvement and presence.
Therefore … Club #25 will be an open Q&A session.
Not only that … I want you to submit your question(s) in the form of a video-short.
These video recordings will be broadcast in the live stream so you do need to be aware of that and given your explicit permission for your yours to be used in that way.
Written questions are, of course, very welcome.
This is a slightly different step for me and my live club sessions. Yet, somehow, I already have confidence that with your support and enthusiasm to be part of an exciting new format it will be a success.
Many, many thanks in advance.
Richard
This is great, thanks for the excellent opportunity Richard!
I’ll have a little think about what I would ask a guitar teacher if I had the opportunity…
Everything I think of, I’m pretty sure has already been answered in either one of Justin’s video’s or elsewhere in the community and there are no shortcuts to the right, consistent practice…
Always remember, there are no stupid questions. And there will always be someone who hasn’t thought of the question or come across the answer before.
Ask anything.
It is Open Q&A.
I have three suggestions that I think would be very useful.
How to bring major and minor pentatonic together when when improvising.
Using triads to help create melodic solos.
I really struggle with rhythms and keeping tempo. I know some find this second nature but several teachers have told me it is the most common issue that stops musicians progressing. So ways to approach this and adopt into practice routines.
In asking this I think it would be wrong of me not to join you and record my own video short. I know I present the livestream but I find recording myself talking to camera to be a truly cringeworthy experience. I hate it. But I’ve done it. And hopefully you will see it on socials as a promo for Club #25 soon.
Happy birthday to you for your forth coming big birthday.
Appreciate that it’s not a recording but my question is:
“How does recording yourself help you with becoming a better guitar player if you don’t have the knowledge, ability and experience to know what is wrong when you play back?”
If you need a little time to show an issue or play something as part of your question - and so need a longer video - then I am not specifying a maximum.
That said, ideally, can you please try to keep it about 1-2 minutes.
People have shared via a google drive upload (or similar) as their videos have been too big for attachments.
1-2 hours? ok, I’ll be shorter, like only 45 minutes or so!
Oups - serious again: even 1 minute I thought was quite long already. Thank you for pointing this out!
Here we are folks.
