Collin and Lisa had a guitar lesson where they reviewed slides, power chords, and the Pachelbel Canon before moving on to new arpeggio exercises and learning a riff from "Road Trippin'" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Lisa worked on fingerpicking, chord changes, timing, and incorporating a 16th-note swing feel. They agreed to continue working on the song next week and discussed rescheduling the next lesson due to Lisa's Capoeira schedule.
