Laurie Hill
Past Notes
October 6th, 2025
Laurie had printed out some other songs which I had shared with her, and we focused especially on I Can See Clearly Now, along with a strumming pattern that would work.
I recorded a video for her so she could remember it at home.
We also revisited Hey There Delilah to simplify the strumming pattern.
Remember no lessons on Thanksgiving.
September 29th, 2025
Laurie brought new strings tonight, and I helped her change the strings on her guitar. After that we had a bit of time to look at Hey There Delilah, and went through some of the chords she didn't know, and the strumming pattern similar to the recording.
We didn't have much time to work on it, so we'll pick up where we left off.
September 22nd, 2025
Laurie is unable to make it tonight because she's working late.
September 15th, 2025
Today we added D7, and a new song, Semisonic, "Closing Time."
We started off the lesson by going through Country Roads, and then sang and played through Closing Time too.
I shared my Google Drive folder of songs with Laurie, and she's going to pick another one to try next time.
September 8th, 2025
This was Laurie's first lesson, and she came knowing some chords: G, C, D, and E minor (and a bit of A minor).
I wrote out some chords for the key of G and key of C, and described how keys work, and how to find out whether a key has minors and majors, and what they are.
We learned B minor, D minor, and F today and started strumming through Country Roads!
