Chord shapes and scales - Week three

During individual instruction my teacher, Lee Bidgood showed me all of the chord shapes. My homework was to learn how to play the G scale and here's my progress over an hour:

I took it slow at first:

This is the fastest speed I can do without messing up too terribly:

I'm working on finger placement and the tension in my wrist while holding the difficult G shape. It looks like this:

 Lee informed me that moving this shape up two frets turns it into an A chord which looks like this:

If you move it two more frets then it becomes a B chord:

This is where he introduced me to some music theory. The pattern ends with B because there is only a half step in between B and C. So, you would only move it up one fret for the C chord.

I was in and out of the program's office a lot this week. I was writing another article about the Bluegrass Half Marathon that is going on this weekend. Read my article here.
So,  I finally figured out that my band is called The Roan Mountaineers. The program names new bands, so we had no options. Also, our adviser informed us that we are set to play in two weeks at an elementary school in Gray. October 8 from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. I'm nervous because I am having a hard time keeping up with them during band class. I've got to crunch in twelve songs and keep up with my classes, work etc. The people in my band have made arrangements to get together and 'pick' each week outside of class time. This just means working on solos for our twelve-song set list. I wasn't able to meet with them on the days/times they announced. Of course I won't have any solo parts but I wanted to be there. I want to be included. It's not intentional. I know it's merely a matter of conflicting schedules but I don't feel like I'm a part of the band right now.
