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.

Travis, a guitar instructor, guided Thomas on selecting guitar equipment, focusing on amps and distortion pedals, and recommended the Fender Mustang LT40S for its app-based customization. They also discussed guitar techniques and the construction of pedalboards. The session concluded with a discussion on potential health risks related to overconsumption of everyday items.

Travis and Thomas worked on guitar techniques, including sweep picking, scale variations, and rhythm reading using tabs. Thomas practiced applying these techniques to songs by System of a Down, Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold. Travis will be out next week but encouraged Thomas to message him with any questions.

Travis and Thomas had a lesson focusing on guitar and violin techniques, music theory, and musicianship. Thomas worked on alternate picking, reading tabs, and learning the song "So Far Away."
