I was on a vacation so missed 8 days of practice. Now the weeks are shifted to one day forward, which is okay. And I won’t count those missed days ’cause why not. Now it’s the time to slide back into daily practice. And to start things off I did some ear training.
14 intervals. Now I’m starting with all 14 intervals at once and decided to do 100 per day instead of 300.
Ear training – Intervals – 14 intervals – 10 min
Total – 10 min
I have a plane in 10 hours, so this summary will be short 🙂
The goals I set myself this week were quite over reasonable, so in order to reach them I had to increase the speed by 10 bpm daily while playing as 8th notes. So it was pretty tough and the result at final speed is not very clean. But I managed to film some pretty decent attempts on camera, so the goals are now complete.
I won’t have any guitar on a vacation so I’ll continue ear training and start practicing 6 levels of rhythm from the Module 22. I really hope that the Internet will be there and I’ll be able to post something for the next week. Don’t wanna fail the challenge because of this vacation.
Anyway, here’s the short video with this week results.
