Guitar Lessons with Jose Thomas

I finally went for my 1st lesson with Jose.

It was an unforgettable experience. I felt like I was the worst player and the worst student in the world.

First lesson, I learn how to pick. Pick completely with wrist action going up/down, without any 'twist' to your wrist. It's a hard thing for me to do because I have to throw all that I've been doing away. So all I have to do this week is practice my scales at beat 70, using F, G, A lydian starting a the 6th string - 1st fret. which is really C, D, E major. Everday for at least 1 hour. (he prefers 2 - 3 minimum)

He is of the opinion that do it his way, or no way when it comes to techniques (and every other thing?), I guess. So 1 hour everyday, here I go.
