Refine your guitar skills and music theory knowledge with personalized lessons that are guided by YOU.

Student and Tutor focused on guitar technique and music theory. Student practiced the C major scale, receiving feedback on left-hand posture, alternate picking, and metronome timing. The session then introduced the A minor pentatonic scale, its relation to C major, and how to use it for structured improvisation over blues backing tracks, emphasizing phrasing and landing on beat one. Follow-up included practicing both scales with metronomes and backing tracks, applying new techniques and focusing on intentional phrasing.

Student and Tutor worked on guitar scale exercises, focusing on consistent rhythm and finger placement for the C major scale. They also practiced D minor 7, G7, and C major 7 arpeggios, discussing jazz harmony concepts like the 2-5-1 progression and chord extensions. The session concluded with an analysis of a song to identify its underlying chords and bassline, and Student was tasked with continuing scale practice at a slower tempo, focusing on new arpeggios, and attempting to play the analyzed song.

The Student and Tutor continued their guitar lesson, focusing on pick technique, scale pattern practice, and blues improvisation. They discussed the importance of a light touch and specific practice strategies for scales and blues phrasing. The main homework involved practicing blues improvisation by starting each phrase on the root note of the corresponding chord in a backing track.

The Student and Tutor dedicated the session to learning new material on the guitar, specifically focusing on the C major scale and fundamental music theory concepts. They practiced identifying notes on the fretboard, understanding major scale construction, and learning to read both guitar tablature and standard musical notation. The Student was assigned to practice the C major scale with a metronome, write note names on provided materials, and listen to blues guitarists for inspiration.

Student and Tutor continued to refine guitar technique, practicing scale exercises with a metronome for rhythmic precision and D minor 7 arpeggios across the neck. They also addressed left and right-hand posture and plucking mechanics. The session concluded with an analysis of a new song's chords and a lick, with the Student planning to integrate metronome practice, work on arpeggios, and consider using a pick.

The Student and Tutor focused on guitar technique and song learning. They addressed guitar tuning stability and potential truss rod adjustments, then extensively practiced various chord voicings, including bar chords and complex minor 7 flat 5 chords. The session primarily involved learning and practicing the chorus and bridge sections of a new song, with the Student planning to practice these new chords and refer to chord charts.
