A couple of quick hits tonight before I get to the biggest musical thing in my day:
1) Had a customer drop off a random CD today. The cover looks like a 60's mod sort of thing. Haven't cracked it open yet, but I'm very curious to see exactly what's hidden on that CD.
2) My manager brought in a CD with a bunch of pictures (11, if I remember correctly) that he took at the Sonia Leigh in-store performance. Again, haven't yet checked them out, but knowing the stuff he gave me after the Corey Taylor gig, they ought to be some good shots.
Started to wade into the binder tonight. I started by going back and looking at what little I had done initially. Here's what I'm starting from:
- Fretboard Diagrams, labeled by key, with all of the notes in said key circled. Those are done for every single key.
- A notebook where I started a half-page for each key that has
1) All the notes in the scale written out.
2) A list of the sharps or flats in that key.
3) The I, IV, &V chords in that key, as well as the Relative Minor chord.
Also included is a "practice log" notebook, the circle of fifths, and a list of essential scales with their corresponding scale degrees (i.e. whether a given note is sharp or flat).
Also open for inclusion in the binder is the rather large pile of resources (articles, books, song transcriptions, etc.) that I have been gathering slowly in prep for the time when the creation of the binder got serious. All of that will need to be sorted through one more time before it gets included for real, but the process has officially begun! December's project will be a much greater success than last month's was, if only because it will be the springboard into my playing in 2012.
