Last one of the year

Guitar

Last practice of the year. I'd liked to have compared the songs I've played with how I did them a year ago, but I don't have the statistics in a way I can easily compare (for now). I'm going to have a think about how I may be able to do this, so watch this space (or not).

I've taken my playing a lot more seriously over the past year, and especially over the last 3 months or so, being lucky enough to be able to practice during my lunch breaks at work,

Both Don't Look Back In Anger and You Really Got Me have non-standard tunings, although both are on the E standard they are tuned with an A of 451 Hz and 461 Hz respectively. This is probably why Don't Look Back In Anger always sounds slightly off to me, it's not on the normal 441 Hz for the open A.

Today I played 13 songs for 49 minutes. I have played for 161 hours 14 minutes in total with 9838 hours 45 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 76 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 38 minutes to play through them all in one session.

I really enjoy the bass line to The Spider and the Fly, and look forward to the time that I can play it without the music in front of me.

A really enjoyable and productive session today, with 9 of the 11 songs showing signs of improvement.

I played 11 songs for 49 minutes. I have played for 26 hours 37 minutes in total with 9973 hours 22 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 48 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 5 minutes to play through them all in one session.

A quick guitar practice

Guitar

Angela needs some work on the solo, but apart from that is starting to come together nicely. I think I'll have to attempt recording the way I play it (and the bass line and, if you're really unlucky, me singing along too).

Today I played 13 songs for 49 minutes. I have played for 160 hours 25 minutes in total with 9839 hours 34 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 73 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 38 minutes to play through them all in one session.

Improved Songs

I Can't Hear You, In Bloom, Everlong, Blitzkrieg Bop, and R U Mine.

A Christmas Bass practice

Bass

I played 16 songs for 1 hours 2 minutes between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with 14 of the songs with some form of improvement.

I have played for 25 hours 52 minutes in total with 9974 hours 7 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 86 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 5 minutes to play through them all in one session.

It's all about the Bass, no trouble

Bass

You'll have to thank other people for the title of this post, I'd commented on Facebook earlier today about planning on a quick bass session and they put the comment on (and I do know the song says 'no treble').

A latish night session played into headphones. I was only planning on playing two or three songs, but was having too much fun.

I really enjoy playing Mean Bitch and apart from the one song I need for the next set (High and Dry), I'm happy with my progress.

Tonight I played 11 songs for 42 minutes. I have played for 24 hours 45 minutes in total with 9975 hours 14 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 124 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 5 minutes to play through them all in one session.

A new song on the practice list

Guitar

Under Cover of Darkness is a new song for me, it's easy to get better than no points for playing it though.

I achieved Master Mode for Next Girl today, and am quite pleased with that. I don't have any others anywhere near good enough to achieve master mode though.

I played 5 songs for 19 minutes. I have played for 159 hours 5 minutes in total with 9840 hours 54 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 65 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 39 minutes to play through them all in one session.
