Marco gave Jared a guitar lesson that covered ear training with intervals, rhythm exercises using a metronome, harmonizing melodies with the harmonized scale, and chord inversions. Jared was assigned exercises to identify intervals in songs, practice rhythmic strumming with accents, harmonize melodies, and practice chord inversions within the harmonized scale. Marco will send Jared a diagram of the harmonic scale for each key and they will continue working on these concepts in the next class.
