Arkapravo guided Ted through strategies to break out of pentatonic scale dependency in blues improvisation by exploring different scales and their relationships to the A minor blues. Ted practiced playing the A Dorian, G major, and F major scales over an A minor blues track and was assigned to practice the A half-whole and E half-whole diminished scales for the next session.

Arkapravo worked with Ted on improving his guitar improvisation skills by focusing on dynamics, breaking timing patterns, and applying different scales to a chord progression. Ted practiced chromatic exercises and scales to improve volume control and synchronization. Arkapravo assigned Ted to practice applying new licks and concepts to a blues backing track and sent a YouTube link with easy licks.

Arkapravo worked with Ted on guitar improvisation techniques, focusing on incorporating major and minor scales, string bending, and pinch harmonics within a blues backing track. Ted practiced improvising over G major and blues scales, and Arkapravo sent him tabs for blues licks to incorporate. Ted was encouraged to focus on feeling the music and improvising freely without overthinking.

Arkapravo Ghosh guided Ted, a guitar student, through exercises involving modes, chord progressions, and blues scales. Ted practiced playing modes and arpeggios over a G D Em C progression and worked on incorporating the minor blues scale into a G major blues track. Ghosh assigned practice with the provided backing tracks and chord charts, emphasizing the importance of stretching for hand flexibility.

Arkapravo taught Ted, referred to later as "a bearded biker", about guitar techniques, including modal exercises in G major, analyzing diatonic charts for major and minor scales, and understanding chord extensions. They analyzed chord progressions in songs like "Baby Blue" and "Ain't No Sunshine." Arkapravo assigned exercises to practice modes and analyze chord charts, with a focus on identifying common tones and smooth transitions between chords.

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.
