Guitar Lessons by University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Educator - Innovative, Creative

Shraddha and Chuck had a guitar lesson where they reviewed Chuck's practice of songs like "Hey Bulldog" and "Everybody Hurts." Shraddha corrected his G chord, introduced "chord grips" and strumming patterns (including "down, down, up, up, down" for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), and prepared him for learning the E minor chord. They also discussed the E minor and A major progression in "Everybody Hurts," a walking bass line, and techniques for "Held Dog." Shraddha shared her preferred method for a specific riff, emphasizing personal preference. They scheduled their next lesson and discussed the possibility of a lesson during Chuck's trip to Greece. Shraddha is sending Chuck PDFs of strumming patterns and the E minor chord.

Shraddha taught Stephen about musical form, dominant chords, and 7th chords, using "Just the Two of Us" as a practical example for learning chord progressions. Stephen practiced identifying and playing various chord shapes and transitions. Shraddha will send Stephen a PDF of the chords and lyrics, and they discussed scheduling future lessons after Stephen's two-week trip.
