Student and Tutor focused on electric guitar technique, covering optimal posture, hand positioning, and finger spreading for chords. They practiced C Major and C Minor, then learned three variations of Dominant 7th chords with different root strings and voicings. Homework includes continued practice of these chords and exploring additional chord variations, with a plan to work on a Christmas song.

The Student and Tutor worked on fundamental guitar techniques, including understanding the optimal amount of finger pressure for clear notes and practicing movable major and minor chord shapes on the acoustic guitar. They also discussed guitar setup concepts like action and neck curvature, and the Tutor provided a left-handed fretboard diagram for the Student's practice. They also set the next lesson for the following Monday to better accommodate the student's energy levels.

The student and tutor worked on fundamental guitar chords, including E major, E7, E minor, C minor, and F7. They practiced techniques for playing these chords, discussed strumming positions, and explored their emotional impact. The lesson also involved analyzing and attempting to play chords for the song "Killing Me Softly," with a focus on adapting it to the student's vocal range and practicing chord voicings.

The Student and Tutor reviewed fundamental guitar techniques, including picking exercises and scale practice, and introduced more complex barre chord shapes. They also explored music theory concepts such as fretboard note relationships, the chromatic scale, and how note positions determine chord names. The Student was encouraged to continue practicing scales and chord shapes, with a focus on experimental finger positioning.

The Student and Tutor focused on guitar scales and technique, particularly practicing pentatonic patterns four and five. They reviewed fretboard navigation, proper fingering, and consistent picking techniques. The session also explored the relationship between scale patterns and musical keys, with homework assigned to practice the scales with YouTube backing tracks and apply the C minor pentatonic scale to a specific song.

The Student and Tutor worked on learning the song "Call Me the Breeze" on the guitar. They practiced both rhythm and lead sections, focusing on techniques like double stops, string bending, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. The session concluded with a review of how to correctly read and apply pentatonic scale diagrams to play in specific keys, with the Student planning to practice the learned material and discuss another song, "CC Rider," in the next lesson.
