One of the things on my list for today was to start wading through the guitar magazines I've picked up recently. Got that process started tonight, and in so doing stumbled across a column in the latest issue of Guitar World that fits in nicely with some of the stuff I've been working on lately. Written by Andy Aledort, it's a column on incorporating scales into your practice routine.
One of the things on my list for the weekend is to do more sorting and sifting through all of the resources I've got here, and try to get things into feasible groupings for study. I've started doing this before, but have never made it through everything.
Did some more looking into Pro Tools today. More research (and perhaps more saving) needs to be done before I solve it exactly. I need to make sure that everything I get ties in with everything I already have.
One other thing to mention tonight. You know that old phrase, "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got?" Well, I did something this week that I've never done before, and I think it's going to help my musical endeavors. Here's the story:
I've read a couple of books in the past year by a guy named Jon Acuff. He posted on his blog the other day
(http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/) something about an "Adventure" he was starting, and invited people to email him if they were interested in being a part of it. Normally, I would glance at these sorts of things, pass them by, and then wonder later on if I should have taken part. This time, I stepped up and sent in my info. Got accepted into the Adventure, too.
It doesn't start until the 8th of July, which means that it runs into the beginning of August... also known as right before we move to Dubuque. I figure, if that helps me get my songs in order before we move, then I might as well just go for it.
