The student practiced note reading and rhythm exercises in standard tuning, focusing on accurate tempo and dynamics. They then explored a diagonal scale in standard tuning with a metronome, emphasizing legato playing and memorization. Finally, the student experimented with a new tuning (F A C G C E) and began learning the corresponding F major scale.

The student reviewed slash chords, learned 11th chords and their application, practiced a pentatonic scale exercise, and worked on sheet music reading. The Tutor assigned practicing the scales with a metronome and memorizing specific chord shapes. The next lesson will cover music theory and scales in a specific guitar tuning for math rock.

The Student practiced improvising riffs between chords using the pentatonic scale and learned about slash chords and chord inversions. The student was assigned to practice the pentatonic scale exercise, memorize slash chords, and practice triad inversions on the fourth string. The Tutor will send additional sheet music to practice reading.

The Tutor introduced slash chords and chord inversions to the Student as ways to add variety to their guitar playing. The Student practiced chord progressions and arpeggios using these new techniques. The homework is to practice the third line of triads on the provided sheet and to focus on applying them to playing.

The Student learned about sus chords and ninth chords on the guitar, exploring their theory and practical application. The session included working through examples of different chord voicings and fingerings, and applying these concepts to a piece of music. The tutor will send a backing track for the piece to practice with before the next session, and further exploration of extended chords and scales was planned.

The Student and Tutor reviewed major 7th arpeggios, focusing on their structure and relationship to major triads. They also discussed modes and their relationship to the major and minor scales, identifying key differences in intervals. The Student was assigned to practice applying one major 7th arpeggio to a chord progression and to practice the modes by vocalizing the intervals.
