Lyric Kidd
Past Notes
October 20th, 2025
We started out going through all the chords so far. The F was causing some trouble for Lyric, so we did drills on it for a while.
We then transitioned between chords, trying to keep fingers that were "in common" on the same strings between chords.
After that we looked up Something In the Orange, and worked on the verses together. It has a weird time signature (you have to really count). We focused on that for the rest of the lesson.

Lyric is doing well - I could tell he's been practising and has learned his first three chords quite well.
We added three new chords today, C F and D, and went through them. We also looked at his first song, Pink Skies, and I wrote out the beginning chords for him.
Remember no lessons on Thanksgiving.

This was Lyric's first week, and he was very keen. We started out with changing one string on his guitar that had broken, and I showed him how to finish them at home.
We then learned three chords: E minor, G, and A minor. We went through them trying to play them on the strumming pattern of down, down, down-up, down (1, 2, 3 and 4).
I asked him to put together a list of songs he'd like to learn, to draw a picture of a guitar and label the parts, and to practise the chords every day for a few minutes.
