Well i got "Promises in the Dark" finished up, and then slacked off the rest of the week lol. Oh well I got all the Christmas decorations up and a bunch of other stuff done too. I guess "Backdoor Santa" by BB King is the Christmas song we're doing for All Access Pass, first lesson is tomorrow. Meh, I'm not a huge fan but it seems like kind of an easy song and I'm sure I'll be busy all month, so it will be a suitable project. Hope you all are doing well  |

Well, yesterday was tech rehearsal for panto, so working out lighting and sound effects and song starts, curtain up/down, etc. Monday and Tuesday are full dress rehearsals with Wednesday through Sunday as performances. Am excited and nervous - can't believe it's finally here! In bits of spare time I managed to get Lazy Day Blues (REDUX) done and recorded  |

Didn't feel too good last week. Only picked up the guitar once or twice. I plan on playing later today. I'm curious to see if the things I'd been working on sunk in during this short break.
In the past I noticed that if I practice something over and over for a couple of weeks and then don't play it for several days it suddenly becomes easier to play. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it sure seems that way.

Have kept plucking away at Guitar Aerobics. Judging from notations I've made in the book previously, I last had a go at this book in 2018, and only lasted about two months. Hopefully, I'll stick with it longer this go around. I must have improved some in the interim, because I'm able to play most of the exercises at higher tempos than I recorded in the book back then!

Seems like taking a couple days off lets it sink into my brain better - no need to actually play it in the meantime lol. |

Happens to me too. I think it's just one's subconscious internalizing things it can't when your conscious is trying to pound things in. |

My diligence waned a little this week. Hands were a little worn out and felt a little stiff and I opted not to try to push through it. Took today completely off so hopefully by next week I'll be refreshed.
Good luck with he gig, wpb!
Bruce, yes! Progress often happens without getting noticed. And practicing one thing is practicing everything.
Jack, I'll have to give Promises a listen tomorrow. Based on the sneak peek you gave us I expect it will be excellent.
