Sunday session with the guitar

Playing Summary

Today I played the Lead guitar, and completed a set on my home machine.

I need to make the effort to link my credentials onto the PlayStation network so that I can hopefully have both consoles at the same play level.

My spreadsheet is still misbehaving after the last update to LibreOffice. I could do with a week off and get some serious coding done on my website score tracking system.

Lead

Today I played 22 songs on the Lead guitar for 1 hours 25 minutes. I am learning 80 songs and have played for a total of 178 hours 7 minutes.

It has been 51 days since I have played all 80 songs I have been practising. It will take 124 hours 26 minutes to play them all in one session.

Improved songs: Icky Thump, Jules, and Breed.

Rhythm

I am learning 9 songs and have played for a total of 41 minutes. I had practised all of the songs for the Rhythm guitar in this session.

Bass

Last time I played 12 songs on the Bass guitar for 49 minutes. I am learning 65 songs and have played for a total of 30 hours 23 minutes.

It has been 95 days since I have played all 65 songs I have been practising. It will take 103 hours 40 minutes to play them all in one session.

Playing Summary

Tonight I played the Lead guitar and am on my way out to watch some live music at a local buskers night. It's the turn of the Wessington to get the pleasure of my company - and it's a charity night to boot.

I've discovered an odd bug in my spreadsheet that means that not all of the formulae are being recalculated when I expect. Hmm, that might have to wait until tomorrow to fix.

A no plec session

Playing Summary

As you've probably guessed, I've left my plecs at home today (better than yesterday when I'd left the game disks and leads at home, but I did have the plecs with me yesterday).

I completed a performance today, and earned an encore to play the chord version of Rebel Rebel - first time I've tried that version. It seems a little easier than the other part, but still aren't taken by it.

Space Ostrich is a fun song I've decided - although I'm a long way away from being able to play it.

I've thought of another change I need to make on my spreadsheet: hopefully the thought will stay with me until I have time to make the changes.

Lead

Today I played 5 songs on the Lead guitar for 22 minutes. I am learning 80 songs and have played for a total of 176 hours 19 minutes.

It has been 60 days since I have played all 80 songs I have been practising. It will take 123 hours 30 minutes to play them all in one session.

Improved songs: Sweet Home Alabama, Space Ostrich, Rebel Rebel (Chord version)

Rhythm

I am learning 9 songs and have played for a total of 41 minutes. I had practised all of the songs for the Rhythm guitar in this session.

Bass

I am learning 63 songs and have played for a total of 29 hours 3 minutes.

It has been 56 days since I have played all 63 songs I have been practising. It will take 17 hours 52 minutes to play them all in one session.

Tonights practice

Too many of my blogs have titles like "Tonights practise" I really must think of something more original. And not the date, that's not interesting enough.

Playing Summary

Today I played the Lead guitar. I also completed the first stage of my improvements to the spreadsheet used to keep track of my results and produce the summaries for this blog.

Lead

Today I played 6 songs on the Lead guitar for 28 minutes. I am learning 79 songs and have played for a total of 175 hours 57 minutes.

It has been 59 days since I have played all 79 songs I have been practising. It will take 122 hours 0 minutes to play them all in one session.

Improved songs: Sunshine of Your Love, Run Back to Your Side, and I Want Some More.

Rhythm

I am learning 9 songs and have played for a total of 41 minutes. I had practised all of the songs for the Rhythm guitar in this session.

Bass

I am learning 63 songs and have played for a total of 29 hours 3 minutes.

It has been 56 days since I have played all 63 songs I have been practising. It will take 17 hours 26 minutes to play them all in one session.

Sundays practice on Rhythm guitar

Rhythm

The improved song list isn't quite as impressive as it looks, most of the songs I've only played for the first time on rhythm guitar (although have played lead for most of already).

I'm currently revising the way my spreadsheet works, and am continuing to work on it, so the layout will be changing over the next few weeks.

I played 9 songs on the Rhythm guitar for 33 minutes. I am learning 9 songs and have played for a total of 41 minutes. I have practised all of the songs for the Rhythm guitar today.

Improved Songs

Brand New Kind of Blue, Don't Look Back In Anger, Everlong, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Losing My Religion, Love That's Gone, Paint It, Black, R U Mine, and You Really Got Me.

A short session tonight

Lead

Only one sightly improved song tonight. C'est la vie. I'm also more than a little tired - tomorrow it will have been 19 days in a row at work. Saturday is going to be a little different, I'm going to be at a development event for young coders.

I played 8 songs for 33 minutes. I am learning 79 songs and have played for a total of 175 hours 34 minutes with 9824 hours 25 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 55 days since I have played all 79 songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 52 minutes to play through them all in one session.

Todays lunchtime quickie

Lead

I've managed to achieve the qualifying score for Good Enough now, so will be doing the set sometime next week. The songs are Good Enough, Run Back to your Side, and Sweet Home Alabama. I might sneak Next Girl and Go With the Flow into the set as well, but only if I get myself organised over a lunch break to be able to play for half an hour.

I played 4 songs for 17 minutes. I am learning 79 songs and have played for a total of 175 hours 1 minutes with 9824 hours 58 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 55 days since I have played all 79 songs I have been practising. It will take 4 hours 52 minutes to play through them all in one session.

Improved Songs

None today, but I was happy with how I played (disappointed to only have achieved 99% for next girl though!)

Playlist

Next Girl by The Black Keys: score 112723.

Go With the Flow by Queens of the Stone Age: score 107267.

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream: score 50990.

Good Enough by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: score 42595.
