Join a Berklee alum for guitar lessons built around innovative techniques and expressive musical development.

Alexander provided Jeffrey with a guitar lesson, focusing on rhythm and minor chords. During the lesson, Jeffrey diligently practiced note durations using a metronome and learned several minor chord shapes, specifically E minor, A minor, and D minor. Alexander assigned practice with chord transitions and will send diagrams for barred chord versions.

Alexander Reyes guided Kyle Martin through a guitar lesson focusing on music theory and fretboard techniques. The session included a review of chord types, fretboard memorization strategies for the E and A strings, and methods for creating melodies over single chords like C major and A minor. Alexander assigned fretboard memorization practice and will provide a clearer fretboard map, with plans to cover chord changes in the next lesson.

Alexander is teaching Ian guitar lessons, focusing on major and minor chord shapes, arpeggios, and scales (pentatonic and major) within the CAGED system. They're working in D major/minor and F major, emphasizing the relationship between major and minor keys and practical application through memorization and practice. Alexander offers to provide fret diagrams and they briefly discuss lesson renewal.

Alexander taught Jeffrey about guitar chords and music theory. They covered the musical alphabet, whole and half steps, major chord shapes (C, D, E, G, A, F, B), and chord transitions. Alexander introduced the major scale formula and will send Jeffrey a PDF of the chords and formulas discussed, and they will continue with minor chords next week.

Alexander taught Kyle about music theory, including the major scale formula, Roman numeral chord identification, and constructing chords within a key. They explored how to create songs by applying new chords to existing rhythms and using chord variations to evoke different emotions. Alexander assigned practice focusing on the major scale and single-chord variations.

Alexander Reyes taught Shevaun Reynolds three new minor chords (E minor, A minor, and D minor) and eighth note rhythms on the guitar. Shevaun practiced chord transitions and combining major and minor chords. Alexander introduced the barre technique for G minor as a preview for the next lesson and assigned practice of the new chords and rhythms.
