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

The student and tutor worked on improving guitar playing skills by practicing specific songs and techniques. They focused on strumming patterns, chord progressions, and reading tablature for "Bad Moon Rising" and "Into the Black," and discussed improvisational soloing using pentatonic scales.

The Tutor and Student worked on guitar power chord technique, song transitions, and rhythmic accuracy. They practiced specific chord exercises and song sections, with a focus on improving timing and navigating challenging musical passages, and planned to continue working on the song's structure and tempo.

The tutor and student worked on fundamental guitar skills, including reading tablature and understanding rhythm values like whole notes. They practiced specific exercises and then applied these concepts by playing along with backing tracks to develop timing and musicality. The next steps involve continuing to practice these exercises and advancing to more complex musical pieces.

The tutor and student worked on practicing and refining song segments, focusing on specific riffs, chords, and solos. They practiced interpreting and applying rhythmic notation, specifically rhythm slashes, and developed strategies to connect reading music with playing by ear. The tutor encouraged continued practice of rhythmic counting and applying it to guitar playing.

The Student and Tutor continued their work on guitar techniques, focusing on slide interpretation, identifying notes with accidentals, and mastering various power chord shapes. They practiced these concepts through several exercises and applied them to a song riff and a blues variation, progressively integrating rhythmic challenges like ties and alternate picking. The Student was encouraged to continue practicing the first half of the power chord exercise and the blues riff for the next session.

The Student and Tutor worked on various guitar techniques and specific song sections, including lead riffs, power chords, rhythmic figures, string bending, and tremolo picking. They focused on proper fingering, timing, and navigating complex fretboard patterns. The Student plans to continue practicing the current song's difficult sections, and future lessons will follow a song-focused approach, with the Student suggesting 'Time' by Pink Floyd as the next piece.
