Music concept taught by Alexander
Alexander and Ian had a guitar lesson focusing on blues progressions, ninth chords, and soloing techniques. Alexander introduced the "BB King box" for improvisation and provided alternate chord voicings for the song "March E." They discussed music copyright and Alexander assigned practice with the new techniques, promising to send backing tracks.

Alexander taught Shevaun about guitar playing, including power chords, major chords, the A minor pentatonic scale, and basic rhythms. Shevaun practiced improvising with scales and playing chords with different rhythms. Alexander provided access to the lesson materials and suggested breaking down practice into smaller segments.

Future lessons on ninth chords and minor blues are planned but will be postponed due to Ian's absence next week.
