The session involved guitar practice, music theory, and technique refinement. The Student worked on minor modes, thematic development, solfege exercises, sequencing, bending techniques, and triads on higher strings. The Student received a recording of triad positions and will focus on major soloing over a one-four chord progression for next time.

No city specified. Kristopher guided Hannah through a guitar lesson, focusing on the song "Indigo" by breaking down its chord progressions across the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, and interlude. They also practiced "Amazing Grace" to illustrate 1-4-5 chord progressions and various strumming patterns. Hannah reviewed the A minor pentatonic scale, and Kristopher suggested continuing with "Indigo" and for her to send him any other songs she'd like to work on.

Kristopher guided a student from Indian River State College in Port St Lucie through a review of musical scales and modes, focusing on pattern recognition and their relationships in different keys, specifically C, A, G, and D. They practiced linking modes and identifying key intervals within each scale. Kristopher suggested practicing scales in thirds and focusing on number-based recall rather than note names. Plans were made to continue interval-based exercises in the next lesson; however, the lesson after next will be skipped due to the student's vacation.

Kristopher worked with Kenneth during their guitar lesson, focusing on barre chords, pentatonic scales, and three-note-per-string scales.
