Guitar concept taught by Joseph
Joseph and Phil had a guitar lesson where they discussed distortion pedals, practiced vibrato and sliding techniques, and analyzed songs from various metal bands. Phil worked on improvising over backing tracks, with Joseph providing feedback on phrasing and suggesting exercises to improve pentatonic scale fluency and picking technique. They scheduled the next lesson and plan to discuss modes and the song "Mars."
