Session Date
Lesson Topic
Playing Sweet Home Alabama to a metronome; minor pentatonic scale positions.
Lesson Outline
Review chord progression to Sweet Home Alabama - play chords along to a metronome.
Music theory: discuss the relationship of the major and minor chords in the key of G to the G major scale. Add the E minor (Em) chord to our chord changing exercise.
The minor pentatonic scale: Practice the "box pattern" minor pentatonic scale in the key of G, but demonstrated the pattern's portability to be played in different keys by changing position on the guitar neck.
Hunter did very well in class and is showing improvement in his chord changes. I recommend that he gets a guitar of his own so that he can practice at home. Practice outside of class is necessary for us to be able to move past these beginning lessons and begin playing more challenging pieces.
