Great second class.

1. We went over our four chords so far:  C, Am, F, and G7

2. Also we went over the basics of strumming. Go here for more:

3. Also we worked on a C major scale "in position" which goes like this:

C (open), D (second fret), E (open), F (first fret), G (3rd fret), A (open), B (second fret), C (third fret)

Here it is explained another way:

"In lesson 2 we learned how to play the C major scale in "position". That means that instead of playing the whole scale up to C string we use the open E and A strings where we can. It goes like this.

C string: C, D
jump to E string: E, F, G
jump to A string: A, B, C."


4. For homework please listen to this arrangement of a melody from Dvorak's New World Symphony:
