Guitar concepts taught by Aimee
The student and tutor explored advanced guitar concepts, including the CAGED system with a focus on less familiar shapes and triads with their inversions. They practiced identifying chords, applying fingerings, and understanding the theoretical basis of inversions, with follow-up practice assigned using a metronome for rhythm and timing.

The Tutor and Student reviewed diminished chords, their shapes, and their function as the seventh chord in major keys. They also explored chord progressions and scale degrees using the circle of fifths, and then applied these concepts to troubleshooting specific challenging transitions within the Student's R&B piece. For the next session, they plan to work on a Bossa Nova track to further practice chord voicings.
