Today I decided to focus on a smaller practice list and play each song several times to get my fingers warmed up before attempting the set list. This is the opposite of what I had intended yesterday when I made a list of what I was going to practice.
Why have a plan and keep to it after all!
Before I started I had two attempts at the Dawn of the Chorded game, and managing to get onto the leader board at number 10 on the second attempt, scoring 46700.
When I first started learning to play the guitar, I was using an introduction book and kept getting stuck at trying to get the F chord to sound anything like it should. I noticed during the game that I was managing to get the chord.

Practice Songs
Well OK Honey by Jenny O: Beaten previous high score of 25719 with 30030 points. Played this five times, and slowly improved from 19677 points the first time I played the songWhen I first heard this, I thought it was a fairly uncomplicated tune, but I am starting to see some of the more complex parts of the song starting to show up and confuse me.
Me and the Bean by Spoon: Beaten previous high score of 40392 with 51537. I played this track five times also, getting the best result the third attempt and dropped back in points for attempts four and five.
Play with Fire by The Rolling Stones: Beaten previous high score of 24535 with 30940. I only attempted this one twice, I could hear my girlfriend starting to move about and thought it would be a good idea to jump to getting the set list completed.
Third Street Lounge
I Got Mine by The Black Keys: Beaten previous high score of 27025 with 29272. Tried this one three times, and am getting around 71% of the notes right.Do You Remember by The Horrors: Scored 54821. This one I did twice, the second version not as good as the first, and only getting around 62% of the notes right.
Breed by Nirvana: Beaten previous high score of 55989 with 57930. I didn't think I did that well while I was playing this one, but I must have done something better than the last time I played it.
Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz: Beaten previous high score of 13010 with 14668. I did achieve 74% of the notes on this one, and it might be the smallest guitar track on the entire game, the backing musicians seem to play a huge amount more. Having said that, the actual playing is fairly complex and I'm sure I have by no means seen everything that I have to play for this song.
When I'm with You by Best Coast: Beaten previous high score of 28407 with 30496. So close to qualifying, the target is 31100! Bacon butties were calling, which is why I stopped playing today.
