A below par session

Guitar

Someone actually counted the songs I'd played last time and complained that I hadn't played that many songs. A couple of the songs I had played more than once. For example, today I played Higher Ground three times and I Want Some More twice.

I played 9 songs for 30 minutes. I have played for 131 hours 38 minutes in total with 9868 hours 21 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 41 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 3 hours 20 minutes to play through them all in one session.

Good times at work and on the Bass

Bass

A good day at work, followed by a good practice on the guitar.

I played the set I've been practising, and earned the Auto Pan although should have played Islands a couple more times as I didn't reach the qualifier score on the actual event. I did get one encore with Boys Don't Cry.

The next set of songs will be played at The Pacific Garden and comprises of Angela, Good Enough and High & Dry. I should probably add a couple of my better songs to see if I can force another encore or double encore.

I played 11 songs for 37 minutes. I have played for 14 hours 53 minutes in total with 9985 hours 6 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 36 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 3 hours 28 minutes to play through them all in one session.
