Guitar concept taught by Alexander
Alexander Reyes taught Ian Fortier blues guitar techniques using an E shuffle song. They worked on riffs, embellishments like rakes and slides, E7 and B7 chord progressions, intro solo analysis, hammer-ons, and descending scales. Alexander provided a PDF of the intro solo and plans to explore similar embellishments in A next week.

Alexander taught Ian a blues guitar lesson in A. The session covered A7, D7, and E7 chords in various forms, "uptown" and "downtown" shuffles, and using the C# note in the A minor pentatonic scale over an A7. Future lessons on ninth chords and minor blues are planned but will be postponed due to Ian's absence next week.
