Live Q&A #2 recording is up
The recording of Sunday's Live Q&A is up in the Classroom (Live Q&A Recordings) for Foundations members, with chapters so you can jump straight to the topics. Thanks Joe and Christopher for joining! The next live call is open to everyone again.

Barre Breakthrough is open — and Live Q&A #2 on Sunday
Two things. Barre Breakthrough, the third classroom, is now open for Premium members. The first lessons are up: Hey Hey My My (1.1–1.4), The Bm Barre Chord (2.2), The F Chord (3.1) and House of the Rising Sun in 6/8 (3.2). Dreams and Wicked Game follow week by week. Start at the top with Hey Hey My My — that's where the shapes get introduced, and the Bm and the F build on it. Live Q&A #2 is this Sunday, October 11, 8 pm Berlin / 2 pm ET / 11 am PT / 7 pm UK. Bring whatever you're stuck on — barre chords welcome. It'll be recorded. Premium stays at $49 for everyone who's in it. When Barre Breakthrough is complete, the price goes up for new members.

Live Q&A #2 is set: Sunday, Oct 11
Live Q&A #2 is set: Sunday, Oct 11, 8 pm Berlin / 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific / 7 pm UK. Bring your guitar and ask anything — a lesson that's giving you trouble, a chord change that won't sit, whatever's on your mind. Can't make it? I'll record the call. Drop your question in the comments beforehand and I'll answer it live.

Re-string
Do you have any videos (or recommended resources) for doing a re-string?

This is how I learned to do it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EdNVzWRc02w&ra=m

@Christopher White Yes, mostly just different ways to get to the same result. The one real difference on an acoustic is the bridge: the ball end sits under a bridge pin, so pull the string up a little while you push the pin in, until you feel the ball end catch. At the headstock it works the same as on your electric: a few wraps going downward, then stretch the strings and retune a few times. If the other strings on the acoustic are old, it's worth changing the whole set, otherwise the new one will sound much brighter than the rest.
Live Q&A #2 — when works for you?
Last call was 9 pm Berlin — mid-afternoon in the US, which is why most of you couldn't make it. Let's fix that. Pick the option that works best for you. I'll set the exact time from the result and post the event here. Weekend slots would be between 7 and 9 pm Berlin = 1–3 pm Eastern / 10 am–12 pm Pacific / 6–8 pm UK. The weekday option is 10 am Berlin — that one only works for Europe and Africa. Bring your guitar, ask anything. If none of these fit, say so in the comments — and if you can't join at all, drop your question below and I'll cover it in the call. Please vote by Thursday.

Quick update: the first option is this weekend already, so voting closes tomorrow (Thursday) at 11 pm Berlin / 5 pm Eastern / 2 pm Pacific. Right after that I'll post the exact time, so you have it before the weekend.
