We’ve been making good progress with general skills such as tuning, strumming, switching chords, sight-reading etc. Keep pushing forward on the fundamentals. Another fun exercise we’ve been doing is practicing the patterns of A notes on the neck. It’s a good way to make sure your guitar is in tune while learning the neck plus it’s a great way to train your ears to recognize pitch. I declare the month of June to be the month of A.
