Jack's Guitar Lesson

Jack came over for his weekly guitar lesson. He's working in two books: one is a Berklee College guitar method that focuses on reading and the other is a Blues method. He's learning to do different (electric) blues styles. The book teaches different parts to each blues tune, using different riffs and chords. I make him play each of them in different keys so he has the chance to learn how do play in different keys and also learn the notes of the fretboard all the way up. This gives us a chance to "jam" together, so it's fun for both of us and he gets to learn how to focus on what he's playing and listen to another musician without getting distracted and losing concentration. He's making good progress and developing some self-confidence, so I'm pleased.
