Hold the Umbrella Hand while getting the Plucking Hand set up (thumbs up, #1, make a 'C').  Maintain Umbrella Hold while plucking the Georgi-G Song.

Bring $1 for flashcards if you want to buy them, or you can make your own at home with index cards using the book.

Review #'s 14-16.

Work on #17.

Be able to play through #17 by next week.

Study the notes.

I have flashcards you can purchase for $1 per set per string ($1 for all D string notes, $1 for all A string notes... for a total of $4 for all the sets of notes for all the strings).  You don't have to purchase flashcards, you can make your own to study, or you can bring $1-2 to class to get the flashcards from me.  We are currently working on the D string notes.  We will be working on the A string notes either next week or the week after.  We will get to G string notes by the 3rd LMS BASP Session, and E String notes by the 4th session.  If you aren't going to make your own, I recommend bringing $2 to the next class to get the D and A string notes from me.
