Progress Report – 119 Hours: “My wrist hurts Edition”

The Report :

Last month total hours ended with : 60 Hours 37 minutes Learning/Playing.

Now on the start of this month I’ve learned/played a total of 16 Hours 26 minutes.

It has been fun and all being able to learn to play Guitar and be able to finally play songs that I want without looking at tableture.

I’ve been trying to get into using the Metronome more often along with foot tapping and couting out loud but still makes me feel a bit awkward and I end up focusing more on the Metronome than playing.

Songs I’m learning / learned :

We Wish you a Merry Christmas
Muse – Plug in Baby

Demos:

Breaking the Law – Judas Priest

Heading out to the Highway – Judas Priest

Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana

I was going to add Plug in Baby but I’m still having a bit of problems with the Intro since is so fast.

Obstacles :

Right now I’m on some lessons about improvisations / licks, but I’m really having a lot of problems with it. I know at the moment 5 licks, and I can play them properly-ish but if I want to modify them or get a new lick out of them I cannot do it, they end up all sounding the same or I will always end up landing on a root note, making it extremely annoying.

On top of that when I have something on my head it sounds really good but as soon as I want to apply it to the Guitar it banishes or I cannot translate it.

Plans and goals :

Learn how to Metronome. Be able to translate what I have in my head into the Guitar, take my time to Learn more Licks and to Git gud @ Improvisation.
