Aimee tutored Josh on guitar, covering power chords, muting techniques, and soloing, including slides and bends. Josh practiced applying these techniques to specific songs and received guidance on electric guitar settings. They planned to work on seventh chord progressions, music theory, and songwriting in future sessions, with a focus on keys and the circle of fifths.

Aimee gave a guitar lesson to asdf fdsa on June 1, 2025, focusing on fretboard knowledge, chord shapes (including major, minor, major 7th, and minor 7th bar chords), and rhythm. They reviewed scales and chords, and began learning the song "Easy," emphasizing feeling the music and correct strumming ("down, up, down") over technical perfection. Aimee was late due to petsitting in Vietnam and had a brief restroom break.
