Lesson number 2...

...with Mr. T went pretty well. He knows the guitar and how to break it down and teach to others, so the outlook for continued lessons wtih him seem pretty good. He's not teaching "classical" but that's ok and can be had later if I really get serious.

We're (I am) learning The Eight Great Blues Riffs for this week's lesson. I'm learning hammer on, sliding and pulling off? I don't know. I'm a student, I will get the terms wrong. We also talked about the strength of the chording hand and the four individual fingers. Ring and pinky being the weakest, so I have more exercises to work them. Index next and the the good old middle finger being the strongest. Does that mean I flip too many people the bird?

Anyway, he promises next week we'll put the shuffle chords, the riffs and some of the blues scale together and make our very own song! Hee he, I'm really so very easy to please sometimes.
