Today I practiced after midnight so I just did 1234s and scales as they are quieter than strumming. Also I learned new melody by ear – Ievan Polkka. I’m not sure if it’s 100% correct so I’ll check myself with some tabs, but still learning and playing it was fun.

Ear training
Finally I returned to getting to the level with 7 intervals again. Hopefully this tendency will remain for the rest of the week.
Songs
There is Ievan Polkka at 160 bpm. Still trying to perfect it.
Summary
Todays practice felt very undone after the time I put to the practice yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to spent more time playing.
