  So the new Scottish Lockdown is meaning that I can't teach people in person for the foreseeable - Are there any Teachers on here that know of good places to advertise their lessons for Zoom? Or Any Zoom tips in general?
  
  Thanks in advance!

  My Lesson Video for The Musical Alphabet & How to Use it is finished and rendering now! - I'll post it in Tutorials when it's uploaded It's 12 mins long - as it goes quite in depth. It should hopefully be of use to someone

  Managed to make a Sweep Picking breakthrough yesterday! Turns out I've been neglecting my left hand muting a bit - it's funny how the tiniest change can make something so much easier to play

  Thinking of uploading a really short Pentatonic tip lesson today, would this be of use to anyone?

  I've recently realized how much I enjoy making split/multi-screen Guitar Videos, so I've made another short one messing around with a Quintuplet groove and stacking Major, Major7 & Min7 chords on top of each other to get really sparkly voicings uploading soon!

  HALLOWEEN HELP
  (This is non guitar related but sorta music related)
  
  So my band are doing a Halloween live stream on Facebook tonight and we've all to dress up. Only problem is that I don't have a costume or an idea for one...anyone got any wacky ideas of how I could dress up without going and buying a costume?

  Happy World Mental Health Day guys
  
  I know us creatives get hit hard with these struggles, especially with the state of the world right now.
  
  Just know that thing you're stressing over will work out and that you're only human. Check on that friend that's been a bit quiet, even check on the strong friend, and speak to someone if you need to.
  
  #itsokaynottobeokay
  
  Take care of each other x

  Learning the hard way today that the Music Biz can throw you a curve ball...My band were supposed to have our most recent song placed on a pretty big TV show and it ended up not making the cut for the Episode.
  
  At first when we found out we all excitedly rushed to get signed up to various royalty companies which cost us £200 each - money that none of us really have, In the middle of a pandemic that has put Musicians and the Self Employed under immense financial stress as it is. Defeated isn't the word!
  
  Apologies for the rant, but I feel I can do it more safely/anonymously on here

  So today I learned that it's really really tricky to tastefully improvise for 3 minutes straight and not cringe at some of what comes out
