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.
