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

The Tutor introduced the key of D major and its corresponding scale and chords. They then explained the concept of numerical chord progressions using Roman numerals and how these progressions maintain their sonic quality across different keys, which is useful for understanding song structure and key changes.

The student and tutor reviewed and practiced challenging rhythmic exercises and song sections, focusing on syncopation, chord melodies, and accurate note execution. They worked through specific musical pieces and technical challenges, with a plan to continue practicing the full song with a focus on rhythm and accuracy.

The student and tutor worked on advanced guitar techniques, including left-hand muting, power chord transitions, and understanding syncopation in rhythm. They practiced song sections with backing tracks, progressively increasing tempo and focusing on accurate timing and chord execution. The session concluded with an overview of song structure and an introduction to the chorus section.

The student and tutor worked on guitar techniques, including chord melodies, power chords, and muting. They practiced identifying and playing various chords, executing rhythmic patterns, and improving transitions between chords, with a focus on playing along to a backing track at increasing speeds.

The student and tutor worked on guitar chord transitions, rhythmic accuracy, and chord melody concepts. They practiced specific chord changes and picking patterns, with the tutor providing feedback on timing and technique to improve the student's playing.

The student and tutor worked on guitar chord identification, power chord construction, and reading musical notation. They practiced complex strumming patterns, rhythmic timing, and chord transitions for a specific song, applying these skills to a backing track.
