Guitar concept taught by Hector
Hector gave a bass guitar lesson to a student from Phoenix, focusing on chord shapes and positions for "The Girl from Ipanema." The student diligently practiced chord transitions and fingerboard positions. For homework, Hector assigned the learner to create a bassline using different positions and incorporate bossa nova rhythms, with the ultimate goal of recording their playing. The next lesson is scheduled for Saturday, August 9th.
