Guitar concept taught by Sage
Sage Bava taught Lexie Curson about scales, chords, and blues techniques on the guitar. Lexie practiced major and minor scales, blues progressions, and various strumming patterns. They discussed demoing a song with vocals and click track, and scheduled a follow-up lesson for next Tuesday.
