Today I had to practice late at night so it’s intervals only again. Also I had to do it silently, so I haven’t got a chance to try and produce any sound by myself and the result is much worse than usual.
Today I spent most of the day cleaning up after the renovation of the room and moving the furniture back there. Tomorrow it’ll be the good old recording location.
Well, this week I’ve been only practicing pinch harmonic solo. It took me in total 4 hours and 32 minutes playing only it. Despite that I’m not tired of it or something. It sounds cool and it’s fun to play this solo. I’m not very good at pinch harmonics though…
I can play all the pinch harmonics that are there one at a time or even in row. But when picking normally it’s much harder to implement them correctly. So I’ll be working on it next week as well.
Also I set myself a new record in ear training – 132 of 140 intervals. I’m so close to the perfect result, but it will take a lot of time still to be able to guess the intervals right away without any hesitation. I’m patient about it and will slowly but surely get there.
Next week I want to implement other routines from the module to diversify my exercises.
The goals for this week were:
[Done] Module 26 routines
My goals for the next week:
Clean Pinch Harmonic Solo at 120 bpm
Chords using thumb
Santa Monica Intro at the original speed
Practice time
Day 148 – 80 min Day 149 – 35 min Day 150 – 85 min Day 151 – 60 min Day 152 – 49 min Day 153 – 43 min Day 154 – 19 min Total – 6 h 11 min
Today I finally learnt how to do pinch harmonics and implemented them into the solo. Unfortunately, my pick became kinda messed up because of the way I was doing them, so I had to start over and teach myself how to play them again from scratch. It’s not perfect, but I got the sound from time to time.
