Today I ordered a tripod for the phone, changed the lighting a bit and practiced the same routines as yesterday. Also I continued my new idea of playing some random riffs that were in my mind right then.
1234 exercise
2341 on the 1-12 frets
8th notes @ 150 bpm
2413 on the 1-12 frets
8th notes @ 150 bpm
2431 on the 1-12 frets

Scales

I was rudely interrupted in the middle of the exercise, so here is another attempt.
Pronouncing notes [Fretboard knowledge]
Minor scales
8th notes @ 150 bpm

Ear training
I felt like I was failing more than yesterday but the results are getting better. Unfortunately, this process is not as fast as I want.

I really like this new tradition of mine 🙂

Summary
I’m so into my random riffs idea 😀 It’s fun. My only concern is that I won’t be able to learn something new as fast and these videos will have many songs in common. But maybe it’s not that bad at all and we’ll see about that.
