Taught today. I thought it went okay, considering my student's usual level of hyperactivity. I'm trying to get her to focus long enough to make it all the way through something before she dives into something new. I think I'm being at least somewhat successful.
In trying to help her out, I looked into capo placement as it pertains to switching keys from chords she finds tough to chords that work better for her. In the process, I stumbled upon a cool chart for capo transposition.
It brought me back around to the idea of having two guitar parts in some of the songs I've been working on. And now, with a definitive resource at hand to sort out the capoed versus non-capoed guitars, I should be able to make some forward progress when it comes to arranging my songs.
That being said, there was more listening done this afternoon than playing, as things came up around the house that interfered with the time I had hoped to spend with a guitar in my hands. Still, today feels productive, even in a small way.
More tomorrow, and better.
