What a rush! I will admit, it was kind of a blur. Even with all the info he was throwing my way, somehow, it was sticking. It was things I knew, but now they were starting to make sense as I was hearing these theories in play as opposed to having them as book learnt knowledge.

Although I was clearly the lesser of the two people in that little studio, I definitely felt good leaving.

I brought my Gibson J-55 to jam along with him and his Super 400. That is a well worn guitar. Very cool.

As exercises, he wants me to practice moving in thirds in a chord. Then moving in thirds in modes. As well, commit a major and relative minor pentatonic scale to memory.

Finally, ... the ubiquitous Autumn Leaves which I am excited to learn. I am to start getting a feel for that song and we will work on that a bit next week.

Day 1 of many under my belt!
