The fact that the studio got cleaned up yesterday made progress today so much easier. When I got into the studio tonight, the two things on the top of the pile on my work table were the two things that got focused on, and that worked out just fine for me.
1) First and foremost, I made it through Sunday's lick of the day from Guitar Aerobics. Pretty soon, like maybe Wednesday on my day off, I'm going to have to do an eight week review, where I go back through and try to nail down some of the harder riffs from the last two months. I'd also like to copy down (or make copies of) a few of the riffs that worked well so that I can incorporate them into the lesson binder.
2) Secondly, I had picked up a book of lessons pulled from the pages of Guitar One while we were out the other day, and tonight I sat down with one on fretboard navigation. There are a lot of ideas crammed into it, but two of them really stood out. One was a more detailed follow-up on the octave patterns I stumbled across in another book a while back. The second was a way to go about focusing on learning scales in small sections of the fretboard, and then using those small sections to put things together like a puzzle. Both ideas are worthy, and while I didn't have time today to go through the whole lesson with a fine toothed comb, I got enough of a start on it that I feel like I made some good progress while still having something to look forward to for the rest of the week.
Can't believe the weekend is over already, but I know I had a good one.
More tomorrow, and better.
