Today was okay.
I got some housekeeping stuff done in the studio that had been on my list for quite some time. I got a few posters put into frames, and finally got the space heater moved out of the studio from this past winter. Now that it's almost July I'm mostly convinced I won't need it for a few months at least.
On the playing side, I worked on a few different things today, most specifically, I:
1) Went through some of Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days" by ear. The full tab is in the latest issue of Guitar World, so I'll have it for more focused learning, but it was fun to play around with it a bit on my own before I go back and see how close I came.
2) Worked through some of the stuff on the posters I framed. They're crammed full of information, and one of the reasons I wanted to get them into frames is so I could study from them. There's scale and chord information, including patterns and chord construction info. Both posters have pretty good layouts of the neck as well, and having that on the wall will be helpful, even as things start to get easier.
Could I have played a bit more today? Oh, definitely, but I also watched the induction ceremony for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame from earlier in the year, too, and the performances were pretty cool. Always something to learn from watching great musicians.
So, yeah, a decent day. Tomorrow is another crack at it.
