Got something done on both the band and the general practice front today! Took me a good portion of the day to get around to the music, but when I got there, I feel like I got somewhere.
1) I figured out the way that the the last chord progression B. and I worked on before I left WI. That's been bothering me for a month now, so short of recording it (which I have yet to do), it feels good to have solved that nagging issue.
2) I started in on the 30 Day Workout. Didn't try everything, but I dove into the first topic on the list. The examples he uses will be helpful. Even playing for half an hour, I can tell that. The article recommends using a metronome for everything (which I need to start doing), and writing down everything I practice (which I need to do a better job of doing). Also, I need to go out and pick up a cheap kitchen timer. This way, I can set it for whatever amount of time I have to practice, and then just work until it dings.
The one thing I didn't do enough of today: listening.
More of that tomorrow, and a bit of recording (gotta get that idea down quickly).
