april 11 lesson

this week we worked more on the ragtime piece, Wabash Rag.  Since then I've gotten the hang of it, and it's not hard once I got the stretch in the A chord and melody in the first two measures.  The rest is smooth sailing.

Today I bought a book, a Mel Bay book, Teach Yourself Jazz Guitar.  Not sure if it's what I wanted, but it has some good exercises and scales.  I want an intermediate level book of jazz standards.  i thought I could start learning jazz songs, and learn the theory later.  why not?  just learn to play some pieces.  that's still my plan for the summer.  probably need another book, though.
