this week's lesson went OK

so the guitar teacher was in a better mood this week.  We worked on the three pieces without tension.  I was reserved but polite.  I told him I'm not interested in a duet, which one of the pieces is, but I'll learn one part of it. 

Still this will be my last semester of lessons.  Today I bought a book of acoustic blues songs, interpreted and reworked by Kenny Sultan.  They are right at my level.  Not accurate transcriptions, but pieces based on classic Delta and Piedmont blues, among other sub-genres.  All in standard tuning, too.  A lot of delta blues are in open tunings -- I don't want to go there yet.
