Today was... interesting.
Some distressing family news today. Seems like my Grandma, who we just visited at Thanksgiving, isn't doing well. That news coming in when it did, I used most of my time in the studio tonight for listening. Music has always been the one thing that can help me process the more difficult moments in life, and it helped me through yet again tonight.
Still, when I did get into the studio late tonight, I took a moment to take a look around, and realized (again), just how messy and frantic everything has gotten. I started to try and clean things up a bit, and in the process, I came across the scale & fretboard study materials I took along with me on our holiday trip last week. I only took a moment or two to glance over them, but what I looked at makes more sense today than it did when I put it in the bag last week. As I told my brother yesterday, the pieces seem to be coming together, they are just doing it at a slower pace than I'd like them to. I know it's a journey, not a race, and I have no doubt that I'll get to where I want to be, I just need to keep at it.
I've got the afternoon off tomorrow, and with the Mrs. working from 3-8, I'd like to:
1) Finish getting things cleaned up in the studio.
2) Put together the pieces of theory I was working with last week with the stuff I've added this week.
3) Do more listening.
4) Clear up the spots that I've pushed to the side in order to make room for work to get done.
That seems like a pretty solid list. Today was. Tomorrow will be better.
