Giacomo and Lonca worked on visualizing arpeggios on the guitar fretboard using the jazz standard "Blue Bossa" to improve improvisation skills. Lonca practiced identifying chord tones within a limited fretboard area and playing them in time with a metronome, focusing on C minor, F minor, D half-diminished, and G7 chords. The homework is to continue practicing this exercise over the entire chord progression of "Blue Bossa" using only two strings.

During their recent music lesson, Giacomo and Bryan delved into various aspects of music theory, such as chord tensions, 2-5-1 and turnaround progressions, chord extensions using the triad rule, and secondary dominant chords. Bryan demonstrated his understanding by applying these principles to analyze the harmonic structure of the song 'Back to Life.' He is expected to practice these musical concepts and pieces for their upcoming lesson.
