Rehearsal

Band practice tonight went OK. A bummer how I think I know the pentatonic scale stuff better than how I can actually put it into the stuff we're playing!

Pentatonic

Working on getting that blues scale learned on the whole fingerboard.

My Stratocaster

Going to fix thing up!

Thinking and Planning Out Loud

What to do to get better? Might have to put piano in second place. It was a great idea doing both, but just don't think I can do it. Focus on guitar....use the melodic solo book and take my time with it. But it'd be fun to do a blues book too. Decisions.

Piano and Guitar

These two don't have to be mutually exclusive in regards to learning. On the chord tone book, the author has a good discussion on how to practice. In timed little bits. No rushing. I can do this for both instruments, but it will take patience and commitment.

Stick to learning just from blues guitar books.....or.......the book that teaches leads in general? Hmmmm....

My lead guitar playing needs a boost, and it'd be nice to know more of what I'm doing when I take leads...
