Day 5

Tryin my best to stick to the plan. I like all these licks, and I need to remind myself of what's important.

So in order of importance (AS OF RIGHT NOW):
1. Alternate Picking
2. Economy (Sweep Arpeggios etc) + Legato
3. Metal Riffing style Standard and Drop
4. Other shit.

I'm not making theory a requirement right now because I believe that stuff comes naturally whether you try to learn it or not. I will continue this way.

Another thing I want to add is that I love slow blues phrasing too, except I don't TRY to do it, I always try to play fast. Soon I may need to be adding phrasing or something in there? Whatever I do, I will be practicing alot anyway. Here we go!

45 mins to an hour of improv.

Honestly today still sucked. I think its because my improv is still shit. Everytime I fuck around I think I sound like a little kid playing. All that stuff I practice is sounding better, but its not cooked yet inside my mind, and hasn't translated very well into my improv. Time! Time is our greatest ally and most feared enemy. Wow that is a pretty gay quote I just made up (or stole subconciously).

4.2 Hours (to make up for that .4)!!
