This week I concentrated myself mostly on consistency. I played 2341, 2413, 2431 combinations across the neck the whole week and became much better at it.
The scales are much more reliable and precise right now too, which I’m also happy about.
I watched Modules 15-16 and now I’m really excited about implementing routines from them. Chord construction is so much fun! But I’ll be working on this topic the next week.
Anyway, the most major update is the video summary format. I decided to put everything in a single video so that it became more watchable and even more organized. There are time codes in order to separate the chapters and cards with links to the full routine videos as well.
UPD. There are no cards cause there’s a limit – 5 per video. I added all links in the description instead.
The goals for this week were:
- [Done] 2134, 2143, 2314, 2341, 2413, 2431 as 8th notes at 150 bpm across the neck
- [Done] 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 34 as 8th notes at 150 bpm across the neck
- [Done] Improved consistency of the scales as 8th notes at 150 bpm across the neck
- [Done] All the scales pronouncing notes in less than 5 min starting on ADG strings
- [Done] Get to the level with 7 intervals on ear training at tonedear.com
My goals for the next week:
- 3124, 3142, 3214 as 8th notes at 150 bpm on the 5th fret
- Scales pronouncing notes using the random scale machine
- Consistently get to the level with 7 intervals on ear training at tonedear.com
- Implement Modules 15-16 routines
