The Student and Tutor worked on guitar techniques, starting with tuning to Drop D and practicing downpicking and palm muting. They began learning the first two sections of a specific song from provided tabs. The session concluded with an introduction to music theory, focusing on musical intervals and semitones. For the next session, the plan is to tackle the chord section of the song.

Student and Tutor continued working on the chorus arpeggio section of "Carry On Wayward Son" on guitar, focusing on specific chord shapes, efficient picking techniques, and smooth transitions. They also discussed fingerpicking methods for school and the rationale behind non-standard guitar tunings. For the next session, the Tutor will provide tabs for the completed song and a new song, "The Middle," and they will begin to incorporate music theory into lessons.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a guitar lesson, focusing on warm-up techniques, finger picking, and practicing specific song parts including "Ode to Joy," "Carol of the Bells," and "Carry On Wayward Son." The session also covered advanced techniques like clean pull-offs and theatrical slides, and discussed the practicalities of tabs versus sheet music for guitar, alongside the benefits of improvisation. The Tutor and Student also discussed the possibility of scheduling an additional weekly session.

Student and Tutor had a guitar lesson where they started with warm-up exercises and practiced the G major scale. The main focus was on learning and refining sections of "Carry On Wayward Son," including the intro riff, a tail section, and a power chord break. The Tutor also provided technique tips on picking hand control and finger placement.

The Student and Tutor practiced the F minor scale in different positions, relating it to the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit." They worked on improving power chord transitions and learned the first half of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" guitar solo, focusing on techniques like slides and bends. The session also introduced the intro riff of a new song, "Carry On Wayward Son," with an emphasis on alternate picking technique and efficient finger placement. For homework, the Student will receive a handwritten tab for the new song's first part and was advised to practice difficult sections using a metronome and incorporate varied practice.

This introductory guitar lesson focused on assessing the Student's current skill level and establishing a learning plan. The Student and Tutor discussed individual goals, including improving chord transitions, learning scales, and moving beyond basic strumming. They practiced a chord muscle memory technique and an alternate picking exercise, and began learning parts of "Take It Easy" by The Eagles.
