Train with a graduate of Metalworks Institute who teaches with empathy, skill, and strong theory insight.

During a recent guitar lesson, Collin worked with Sheri on a range of fundamental skills, including mastering chords like DM, A, E5, A5, D5, and F. Their practice also incorporated rhythmic concepts such as dotted quarter notes, 16th notes, and 2/4 time, applying these to songs like "O Canada," "Sweet Caroline," and "Country Roads/Almost Heaven, West Virginia." Sheri shows good progress, though Collin highlighted the importance of practicing the correct material, memorizing chords, and using additional resources, as she sometimes practices the wrong things.

Collin is giving Sheri guitar lessons, focusing on note recognition, rhythm, timing, and song structure. They cover topics like notes on the sixth string, dotted quarter notes, chord transitions, strumming patterns, and musical notation like "del segno" and first/second endings. Sheri is practicing scales, exercises, and songs like "Sweet Caroline," with Collin providing guidance and resources to improve her skills.

Collin led Sheri through a guitar lesson that included note reading, chord practice, and song performance. Sheri worked on "let ring" exercises, note identification on ledger lines, and staccato techniques, and started learning "Sweet Caroline." They reviewed chord progressions and discussed strategies for remembering musical patterns, with a plan to continue practicing the new song.

Collin led Sheri through a guitar lesson that covered technique, theory, and song practice. They worked on chord transitions, finger placement, muting, timing, and riffs, focusing on a song for the 4th of July. Collin provided guidance and feedback to help Sheri improve her playing, and they planned to continue working on the song and other techniques in future lessons.

Collin tutored Sheri on guitar, covering repeat symbols, new notes (high A), new chords (D, E, E minor, G), eighth-note rhythms, and palm muting. Sheri practiced these techniques while learning sections of a new song. Collin suggested alternative fingerings to improve Sheri's transitions, and they agreed to continue practicing the song at a comfortable tempo.

Collin and Cathy worked on guitar, focusing on chord transitions, time signatures (3/4 vs. 4/4), and song structure. Cathy practiced a song, working through transitions and alternate endings. They agreed to have one more lesson before Cathy decides whether to continue.
