Today was Justin's second lesson. We started off with the blues scale. He had worked hard on it and so we increased his metronome marking from 60 to 100. I introduced him to the blues scale exercise to practice the blues scale over the whole neck. We then began work on the blues techniques, which include hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, vibrato and bending. Following that, we practiced the chords for the 12 bar blues with the turn arounds in the keys of A and E. That was sounding good. We finished off by learning how to tune to open D tuning for slide playing.
