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.

Last bass practice of the month

Bass

Quite happy with how I played today. I have achieved the qualification scores for all of the songs on the current set. I achieved Master mode with Gobbledigook which means I can play in master mode - in other words without the notes appearing on screen.

I played 10 songs for 29 minutes. I have played for 14 hours 15 minutes in total with 9985 hours 44 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 35 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practicing. It will take 3 hours 28 minutes to play through them all in one session.

Last guitar practice of the month

Guitar

Slight improvements made on Higher Ground, but I still haven't quite managed to reach the qualifier score of 90,000 points. More practice needed - and this is the only song that I've improved on today.

I played 11 songs for 42 minutes. I have played for 129 hours 56 minutes in total with 9870 hours 3 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 34 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.

Slapping the Bass

Bass

Very pleased with todays session. I started by attempting the Slap and Pop technique. I'm not quite sure if I can explain it, I'm going to have to have another watch of the tutorial again. Slapping the guitar is striking the string with your thumb. Popping is pulling on the string and muting with a twist of the wrist. I think.

I attempted Burnished. Higher Ground, Jules and Run Back To Your Side as a set and played well enough to get a double encore. The encore songs were Are You Gonna Go My Way and  Go With The Flow. I think the bass line for the latter is harder than the guitar version!

A few things unlocked today Avacado Emporium tone, Auto Detune tone and the Space Ostrich song.

 

The new set is at the Pacific Gardens with Islands, Next Girl, Vasoline, I Miss You, Chimney and Space Ostrich. Islands is the only one that I need to qualify with now. I would have given it a try today, as my best score so far is only 6000 points away from qualifying, but I was getting tired.

I played 11 songs for 42 minutes. I have played for 13 hours 50 minutes in total with 9986 hours 9 minutes to go before I reach the point at which you are supposed to become an expert at an activity.

It has been 32 days since I have played all of the songs I have been practising. It will take 3 hours 26 minutes to play through them all in one session.
