Today I’ve been practicing through the pain after my visit to the dentist. I just repeated everything I did yesterday.

Module 17 pattern [All of Me]
Today I managed to play All of Me perfectly both with open and barre chords, so this is time to leave this song and switch my attention to the next modules.
Open chords
120 bpm
Barre chords
120 bpm
Module 18 pattern [Autumn Leaves]
70 bpm
Songs
MGMT – Kids [Solo]
8th notes @ 140-155 bpm. I just couldn’t play decently because of the toothache, so I even got really mad in the end of the video and just stopped playing. But I tried to implement something useful – pulling-off instead of picking in one part where there are 32nd notes in the solo. At the higher speed picking all of them would be literally impossible.
Summary
Toothache got me so hard that at first I thought that I’m gonna skip this day. But fortunately after taking some pills the pain reduced and I managed to maintain my daily practice and upload schedule 🙂
