Today is the first time I'm having a concentrated practice session in a long time.
I meditated for about 30 minutes before picking up the guitar, I think that really helped bring my concentration into focus.
Next, I got a metronome app for my phone so I could have one on the music stand at all times. It's called metronome: tempo. It's a super technical cool app.
The first thing I went to work on is the Right Hand Technique Exercise on pg. 88 of modern method book 1. Starting with a tempo of 43 and ending at 60 for about 10 minutes. The first couple measures.
The next thing I worked on was page 5 of modern method 2. The first position and the transition to the next position. So starting with the A-pattern and moving to the G-pattern. Tempo of about 60.
Tried to play through All Of Me with metronome at 56
And Dover Intro.. as always.
