00:00 Countdown
00:22 Introduction
03:10 Can a pickup that I buy separately and attach to the guitar be used instead of buying a guitar that comes with one installed by the factory? Will the sound be comparable?
09:08 When playing a B major barre chord (A-Shape) form I know that ideally mute the high E string. Is it also true when moving it up a half step to play the C major chord should I also mute the high E string?
10:46 How do I get my pinky finger on my fretting hand to stop following my ring finger?
16:04 Why not find a song you like that has a skill or multiple skills you want to achieve and practice the skill whilst learning the song?
21:25 What do I need to learn to play lead guitar more efficiently?
27:20 When I play the Cadd9 or the G chord my left ring finger and pinky bend backward on the 3rd fret, 1st, and 2nd strings. Can you recommend any exercises to help overcome this issue?
32:15 What is the best brand for a guitar and/or guitar strings?
37:05 How do I increase speed while playing scales on guitar?
42:40 When playing lead guitar, like improvising over a backing track, how important is speed?
44:34 What specifications should I check out when buying a guitar?
46:00 How many repetitions of a particular skill (learning new chords, chord changes, scales, etc.) are needed until muscle memory takes over?
50:28 How can I know when I've reached my limits in a particular area?
53:15 How many songs should I try to learn at a time?
56:30 Can you explain the composition of a chord and is there a formula behind it?
58:34 Are there exercises that deliver the most "Bang for the Buck" for Barre Chords?
01:00:27 Any tips for someone who is “scared” to play around and improvise?
01:04:43 With chords involving my index finger my finger naturally goes sideways rather than the tip hitting the fretboard. Is this OK?
01:06:37 How often should I be changing strings?
01:08:57 How do I go from playing chords to playing songs?
01:14:27 What is the youngest age that a child can learn to play ukulele?
1:16:55 How long does it take the strings to settle in?
01:19:08 Should a child learn to play the ukulele before the guitar?
