Raine worked with Tanner on the "Sweet Home Alabama" guitar riff, focusing on strumming patterns, picking techniques, and turnarounds.

Raine assigned practice with backing tracks and uploaded sheet music for additional study.

In their recent lesson, Raine and Asher honed their guitar techniques, concentrating on strumming patterns, chord transitions—particularly from G to D minor—and optimal thumb placement. Raine introduced Asher to an alternative G chord fingering designed for smoother transitions and clarified the music theory behind D/F# chords, sharps, and flats. Asher's practice assignment included the new G fingering and the chord transitions discussed.

During a guitar lesson, Raine guided a student from Florida SouthWestern State College in Cape Coral through various guitar techniques. They focused on finger placement, hand positioning, and efficient riff playing, covering chords like B minor, G major, and A sus 2. The lesson also introduced the A minor scale. For practice, the learner was assigned to work on the A minor scale and the chords, with all necessary materials to be provided in their drive.

Raine instructed Vincent on fundamental guitar skills, covering how to read tablature, identify fret numbers, and play chords including E minor, E major, A minor, and A major.
