Kristopher led Kenneth in a guitar lesson, where they concentrated on strumming patterns, barre chords like B minor and F# minor 7, and the seven modes of the C major scale. Kenneth honed his A minor pentatonic scales and received constructive feedback on his finger placement and rhythm. Their next lesson will involve an electric guitar to further develop scales and strumming techniques.

Kristopher and Cindy's vocal lesson focused on exercises like lip trills, major and minor scales, and interval training (thirds, fourths, and fifths). They also analyzed CeCe Winans' "Goodness of God," concentrating on melody interpretation and harmonies. The pair plans to continue interval training and revisit the song in their next lesson.

Kristopher and Luke discussed incorporating synthesized riffs into live sets and then delved into music theory, focusing on the CAGED system and sequencing arpeggios in various modes. Luke practiced 3-5-7 arpeggio patterns and their inversions. Kristopher suggested exploring harmonic and melodic minor scales in future lessons.

Kristopher provided Grace with a guitar lesson, introducing basic chords such as G major, C add9, and E minor, alongside a specific strumming pattern. Grace diligently practiced finger placements and chord transitions. Kristopher recommended she purchase a capo and picks for future use. For her assignment, Grace is to practice transitioning between the G major and C add9 chords using the strumming pattern, and Kristopher will send her the relevant chord diagrams and the strumming pattern for practice.
