Guitar concept taught by Joseph
In this guitar lesson, Joseph guided Phil on using A minor pentatonic scales for improvisation, focusing on phrasing and techniques. Joseph introduced modes (Aeolian and Mixolydian) and provided practice strategies, including tempo increments and dedicated practice days. They plan to work on a song Phil chose and revisit "Simpleman" for bar chords and fingerpicking; Joseph will also send a mode chart for practice and a renewal message for future lessons.
