Today I had pretty much time for practice and finally tried to play something for the Module 16 routines. Not sure if this exercise was about that, but still I pretty much did it. Also I increased the speed of playing scales to 170 bpm.

120 bpm. I came up with this chord progression. It sounds pretty familiar but I don’t recognize it, so I’ll just say that it’s mine 🙂
Ear training
Again, didn’t manage to increase the level above the one with 6 intervals 🙁
