Link for tonight's Live Lesson / Q+A

We just had a massive storm blow through here and take out the power in a lot of the area, but my place seems to be spared so tonight at 8PM CST is looking good!

Here's the link to the stream:

--LINK REMOVED - READ EDIT AT BOTTOM!


If you miss out on the live lesson, you'll be able to come back to this post in the future to watch it afterwards. 

See you all in about 4 hours!


EDIT: This didn't turn out well. I had audio problems and couldn't fix them so I'm postponing the stream to tomorrow night (Aug 11th) to the same time, 8PM. Next week on Monday is still on schedule for 2PM. Thanks for those of you who showed up, hope to see you for a smoother lesson tomorrow night!

I have this problem pretty often, especially when writing on my acoustic. I usually try and see what it sounds like at different tempos, with a different meter (think 3/4 instead of 4/4), with faster chord changes, longer times between changes, bridging bass notes (or adding simple "licks" between chords), and occasionally just writing out a strumming pattern to attempt. All of these options will get your brain thinking and you'll likely find *something* within all of that which will stick.

Question for the QA: How should I approach rhythm to be interesting? By that I mean, I know a lot of chord shapes, and stuff, but if I have to play something with them it always just some campfireish stuff rhythmically. I'm trying to change it by adding some "chukkas", but then it still just some kind of campire song with occasionally muted strings lol

I only caught the end of the stream, but to me it sounded like a sound card issue, maybe increase the size of the buffer in Ableton? idk
