- The name of the guitar strings.
- Two-finger exercises.
- The minor pentatonic scale.
- Open power chords.
- How to read guitar tab.
In fact, once he learned to read the guitar tab, Julian learned two or three new songs on his own each week including “The Peter Gunn Theme,” “Brain Stew, and “Smoke on the Water.” As teachers, we were so proud when we discovered Julian learned to play Happy Birthday on his own and performed it on his dad’s birthday!
Julian earned three-stripes on his yellow belt, which means he’s just one stripe away from a green belt.
