Jared learned 6 days ago

Lesson date:

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.

Michael learned 11 days ago

Lesson date:

Michael and Marco discussed guitars, amps, and effects, focusing on Led Zeppelin's music. They covered tube amp selection and effects loop usage for cleaner effects, with Marco explaining gain staging and optimal EQ placement. They analyzed Led Zeppelin songs, rhythm techniques, and recording details, then explored the band's unique time feel and John Bonham's drumming. The conversation expanded to progressive rock, music theory (dominant 7th, 9th, and 13th chords), and the importance of emotional performance. Marco explained how complex chords create melodic layers in jazz and emphasized the melody's role in determining a song's key, using examples from Fleetwood Mac and Madonna. They concluded by praising guitarists like Jimmy Page and Angus Young and planning a deeper dive into music theory.
