We've hit the point in this round of the Start Experiment where things are about to get very interesting. I feel like the first week has been a productive one, although not as productive as it maybe could have been. That being said, I'm happy with the progress that has been made thus far, and can't wait to see where I am two weeks from now. Here's why stuff is getting interesting:
We move to Dubuque on Friday. Packing is really starting to ramp up now. As that happens, the time available to spend on music stuff is going to decrease for a bit (for obvious reasons). That being said, I still stumbled across a couple of books today that had avoided my previous packing but will definitely have a place in the practice regimen once all is said and done. They were:
100 Licks & Chops For Rock Guitar
100 Licks & Chops For Blues Guitar
I had found them at a Half Price Books a couple of years back, and they seem pretty great, so they go into the list of resources I'll find a way to include.
Also tonight, I'm uploading some of the new music I've purchased in the last few weeks. The ipod desperately needs to be charged tomorrow, and it makes sense to me that, if I'm going to charge it, I ought to have some new tunes on it.
This next seven days feels huge to me. It's going to be busy, yes, but it will hold the key to whether or not this run of START will be the kind of success I'd like it to be, or whether it will be a smaller stepping stone.
I teach two more guitar lessons before we leave. One tomorrow, and one on Wednesday, and then it's off to the Eastern side of the state, where the only immediate musical concerns are work on the binder and setting up the studio! Only FOUR more days until I have that space! Getting closer. Pictures of the setup will be posted for sure.
That's all for today. More tomorrow, and better, as always.
