Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.16,0:02:20.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you got \Nthree free choice ones to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.59,0:02:23.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would probably recommend \Nthat you'd still be working on the F chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.40,0:02:26.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So F chord to whatever other chord \Nyou feel like you wanna work on.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.73,0:02:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But F chord is probably, \Nfor most people,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.12,0:02:33.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so a bit of work on that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.67,0:02:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then you've got five minutes \Non your power chords,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.05,0:02:39.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so making sure \Nthat you really work on that stretch
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.88,0:02:42.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that you've got all of those notes \Nworking for you properly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.34,0:02:46.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, just really working that stretch \Nbetween the first finger and the third finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.49,0:02:47.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.45,0:02:49.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might wanna also practise \Njust moving it up and down.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.83,0:02:51.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just experimenting.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.31,0:02:54.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe trying to play a chord progression \Nor two, or a riff or something.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.22,0:02:55.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That would be OK
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.14,0:02:57.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but really predominantly\Nworking on getting the stretch
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.83,0:03:01.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between the first finger\Nand the third and fourth fingers.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.05,0:03:03.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That would be a really good call.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.33,0:03:07.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, then we've got five minutes\Nworking on songs or chord sequences,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.32,0:03:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so whatever songs \Nyou've learned up until this point
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.75,0:03:12.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Might be worth checking out\Na power chord tune.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.67,0:03:16.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You never know, there's a few around\Nthat could be good for that one.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.49,0:03:19.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So have a bit of an experiment \Non some of the power chord songs
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.20,0:03:20.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or your regular songs,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.72,0:03:22.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all your repertoire up to date, \Nit doesn't matter.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.01,0:03:25.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just be working on some songs \Nthat you're enjoying.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.58,0:03:28.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And lastly five minutes on\Nyour JUSTIN training exercises
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.74,0:03:29.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is your ear training
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.75,0:03:32.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is gonna be like working \Nat your power chords sounds
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.30,0:03:36.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do a little bit more advanced \Nkind of transcribing skills
