Guitar concept taught by Travis
During their guitar lesson, Travis and Thomas reviewed fundamental concepts such as tuning, major and minor scales, and vibrato techniques. Thomas expanded his knowledge by learning about the circle of fifths for key signature memorization and actively practiced various guitar techniques including hammer-ons, pull-offs, and bar chords. To support continued learning, Travis assigned practice exercises for scales and chords, and provided diagrams for the minor scale and the circle of fifths.
