I saw that Jessica was offering lessons online now, since we're all stuck at home it's going to be tough for the professionals who should be playing at concerts and so on. I sent a message and today I had my first lesson with her. Because of the crowdfunding above I helped her with she kindly said this one was for free, which was very nice of her to do and also to remember.

We spent an hour going over Eterna Saudade which I wanted to try learning on my own with Tabs. She found a few mistakes and a couple of things to change on the sheets, as well as some good advice about phrasing, emphasizing the melody and playing accompanying notes more softly. This is the same advice as can be found in many of the tutorials on here.

She's asked me to record a video for her to see when I'm able to finish the piece and we'll go over it again next time. I'll post it here when it's ready as well.

Other than that I need to go over everything I've learned with eliteguitarist again, there's been gaps in practice and some songs neglected, Natalia especially. Need to make the most of this extra time we've suddenly found ourselves with.

I hope everyone is keeping safe. Take care out there!
