Lilly

She should keep on practicing the C and G chords. In addition to it she has learnt Dm as well. She should practice by switching back and forth between them. She should also practice alternating her middle and index fingers of her right hand (leaning on the respective upper string). Later on she should play Yankee Doodle with this new right hand technique.

 

Luke

He should practice Day Tripper’s riff. He should start with the riff in E and then move in order to replicate the same riff in A as well. Following the suggested fingering is quite important at this point, since it’s gonna make sure best efficiency rate and its clearest execution are achieved.

 

Matthieu

He should keep on practicing Day Tripper riff in B. In order to do it, he should follow the fingering suggestions. He should also play Spanish romance up to measure #20. The fingering suggestions are a must for this piece, please make sure he’s following them.

 

Paul

This week, Paul couldn’t play the guitar, due to a cut on one of his fingertips. So we worked on theory. He should review the concept of Secondary dominants, play the independent dominants to each one of the chords of a given key (please do it in at least three keys other than C major), both on the guitar and on the piano. In addition to that, he should play the suggested progressions examples the same way and identify: The central key of each one of them and each one of the chords’ function in relation to the key.

 

Matias

He should practice Eleanor Rigby’s guitar arrangement. He should make sure he’s using the same right hand technique as the one used for fingerpicking patterns.

 

Julian

He should practice Sinner Man at page 50 of the book. He should also review the concept of dotted quarter note by reading the text in the book. Exercises #5, 6, 7 and 8 – at page 51 – should be practiced. He should make sure the right rhythm is followed, especially the parts dealing dotted quarter notes.
