Today I learnt the pinch harmonics solo from module 26 but there’s a catch – I just can’t play pinch harmonics…
Also I reached the same result in ear training – 130 of 140 intervals.
Practice time – 80 min

Another week has passed, wow. This week I kinda went through three modules (23-25). Well, Module 25 is not really a module, so two, actually 🙂
I have an experience in playing and singing at the same time, so Module 23 was not an issue for me and I basically just recorded one of the songs to show what I can do.
Module 24 was fun, but honestly I half-assed id, ’cause I’m not a big fan of the acoustic stuff and really want to get to the more interesting parts of the course. So I tried all the techniques and managed to apply them semi-decently to the melody Brandon recorded.
Next week – the fun stuff 😀

Today I kinda finished Module 23, because I really know how to play and sing at the same time. Also I’m not a fan of Hey Jude and Beatles at all, so I decided to play a song I know and like better – Superman by Lazlo Bane.
After recording the song I watched through Module 24, so tomorrow I’ll start its routines.
In the ear training I now practice 140 intervals per day in order to get 10 of each. Somehow the distribution is not completely uniform so I got one interval with 9 tries and one with 11.
Also I decided to count practice time not by the video length, because some things like pre-practice remains off-camera and I need to count the time I spend doing it as well.
Practice time – 55 min

Well, I’m back. Returning to the daily practice after a vacation was kinda rough but after a week it feels as usual again 🙂
This week I’ve been practicing only 6 levels of rhythm and ear training. The hardest one for me was the third bar of level 4. I even had to decrease the speed to 80 bpm in order to wrap my head around it. Other patterns were not as hard at all.
I also watched Module 23, so the next week practice will be on it. Anyway, here’s the video.
