Today I was just chilling and playing the same stuff as yesterday in order to get the videos to my weekly report.
1234 exercise
These are really smooth and easy 🙂
4123 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 150 bpm
4132 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 150 bpm
4213 on the 5th fret
8th notes @ 150 bpm
Scales
Still not legato…
Major scales
16th notes @ 90 bpm
Minor scales
16th notes @ 90 bpm
Strumming
Module 18 pattern [Autumn Leaves]
70 bpm. I managed to play the whole progression without mistakes and the sound was pretty good as well, except for maybe 2-3 chords. So I’ll count it as a win.
Songs
MGMT – Kids [Solo]
8th notes @ 160 bpm. After another 20 minutes I managed to play the solo semi-decently 2-3 times, which is horrible. I need to work on the consistency, so I will practice each bar separately and increase the speed of them separately. And only after that I’ll connect them all into one progression.
Ear training
The best attempt yet! 8 intervals in total and under 10 incorrect answers in each.
