In comparison to yesterday today was a pretty relaxed day, so I had much more time to practice. I still didn’t want to do the note pronunciation exercise so skipped it but my routines list is fuller than yesterday.
1234 exercise
3124 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 130 bpm
3142 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 130 bpm
3214 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 130 bpm
Scales
Major scales
8th notes @ 150 bpm
Minor scales
8th notes @ 150 bpm
Strumming
Module 15 pattern
120 bpm. My substitutes are still too tense. Maybe I’m doing something wrong… Anyway, I’ll just continue practicing and hopefully this issue will be fixed itself.
Ear training
I got to the level with Perfect 4th again! Have it started happening more consistently? I hope so. And I can’t help but notice the increased percentage of correct answers, which is exciting. Will practice ear training more.
