Not posted recently - I am still playing though.
I've hit a level where I am actually comfortable just sitting noodling around and it sounds good.
Also playing with a couple of songs - Phantom of the Opera (Classical version) and The Trooper intro
Happy times
Not a lot of news in practice land.
I am still plugging away there are a couple of pieces that I am struggling to master so I have made myself play these at the beginning of each session.
I went through the frustrated , never going to get this. The chord death grip approach and then relaxed into the tune and guess what - about a month after setting myself the challenge, I was note perfect on the first piece last week and today I hit the second piece on the first attempt this morning.
Chuffed to bits !!
Oh and the secret ? Always finish your session with a fun play along piece !!
So the holidays have come and gone.
With COVID this years were a little flat but that still didnt stop the usual family chaos and games. It did make it really hard to find time to pick up the guitar though I wanted to most days.
After a 10 day break it was a little hard to pick it up but soo glad I did. I found a fun easy tune (7 Nation Army) and had a blast. The following day I had no such struggle to get stuck in.
A week later and I'm practicing hard again on a challenging chord progression (horrible F!! ) and finishing with 20 minutes of fun.
Its true what they say - play every day - it makes progress so much easier.
