During their recent lesson, Giacomo and Ryan delved into the iconic Guns N' Roses "November Rain" guitar solo. They meticulously analyzed the interplay between major and minor pentatonic scales and the solo's harmonic framework. Ryan, specifically, dedicated time to practicing the initial phrase, honing his bending techniques and ensuring the notes seamlessly connected with the underlying chords on the instrument. Their next meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 8 a.m.
