200 hours
So, today makes 200 hours since Jul 27, when I installed a hour meter on the power bus for the mixer. I’m trying to get my 10,000 hours – my estimate is this makes 8700. 😉 I’ve also been doing a lot of exercises intended to increase my proficiency.
At the moment I’m doing on guitar:
*) major and minor scales, up and down in triads (1-2-3,2-3-4,3-4-5, and so on, then back down)
*) major and minor triads (1-3-5) up and down
*) various melodies – lately I’ve been doing carol of the bells, but I try to do a different one every week
*) all five root position chords, and C and E position bar chords
On piano:
*) major scales in every key, at least 8x
*) improvising on the major 12 bar blues in every key
Then, of course, I try to do a hour of various covers every day.
