Arkapravo Ghosh guided "bearded biker" through blues improvisation techniques, analyzing a G blues backing track and emphasizing scales, chord progressions, and bluesy licks. The student received theoretical exercises involving chord reharmonization and extensions in two chord charts. Arkapravo assigned the student to analyze the chord charts and understand their key, focusing on theoretical understanding over immediate playing.

Arkapravo worked with Ted (a bearded biker) on improvising over a G major blues track, focusing on scale choices (E minor pentatonic), chord progressions, and techniques like bending and sliding. Arkapravo assigned Ted three tracks for practice, including "Blues Force" and "Baja Funk," and provided a structured improvisation exercise. The homework involves analyzing chord notes and experimenting with minor scales to enhance improvisation skills.

Arkapravo Ghosh worked with a student (a bearded biker) on applying guitar licks to chord progressions in the songs "Baby Blue" and "Gravity." The student practiced identifying chord changes, creating harmonically fitting licks, and improving timing. Homework includes developing more licks for "Baby Blue," learning the intro melody for "Gravity," and transposing existing licks to "Gravity" around the ninth fret.

In a lesson with Arkapravo, the student (a "bearded biker") received guidance on improving guitar skills through practical application and lick transposition. The student was assigned to practice existing licks over "Baby Blue," "Gravity," and "Cocaine," and to improvise over "Ain't No Sunshine." They discussed strategies for lick transcription and application, simplifying licks for memorization and improvisation, and transposing them to different keys.

In a guitar lesson, Arkapravo guided Ted on creating original guitar licks inspired by various songs and genres (gospel blues rock, Latin rock, and ballad rock). Ted analyzed chord progressions and keys, focusing on crafting versatile licks that fit multiple chords and can be adapted to similar songs. Arkapravo emphasizes technical skill and repeatability in lick creation, using examples like Santana's "Black Magic Woman." Ted will apply his newly created licks to new songs in future sessions.

Arkapravo taught Ted, a guitar student, improvisation techniques over the song "Ain't No Sunshine," focusing on staying close to the melody, using licks, dynamics, and creating a "conversational" feel in solos. They explored scales like A minor, E Phrygian, B minor 7 flat 5, and B half-diminished, along with transition chords and vibrato. The next class is scheduled for Saturday, focusing on practicing the discussed ideas.
