Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
Played a little all 7 days this week. I'm back to navel gazing when it comes to pick attack and muting and such. I tend to strike the strings harder than I should when I don't pay attention, which causes an annoying amount of string rattle. It seems to help when I circle back to that focus every few weeks.
Next week I'm expecting some cabin renovations to begin, which includes new flooring in the main living area, kitchen, and bathroom. That's likely to disrupt my routine a little bit, but I should at least get a little unplugged playing in during the evening.

I'm always jealous of your cabin Grampa, I would love to get far away from civilization myself!  I had a good week, my fingertips were nice and tender towards the end of the week, so I must have been getting some practice in. You ever wanna ruin your electric guitar technique, just spend three months farting around with fingerpicking on the acoustic. I feel like I'm starting all over again. Oh well, making progress. Had the solo for "You're in Love" up to 83% of full tempo yesterday (sloppy and extremely sketchy) but I kept up lol. Been practicing the rhythm part at full tempo, that palm muted low string throughout the whole song really requires some stamina. Hope all you guys are doing well and finding some time for guitar |

A good week, more rhythm work from the Truefire Fakebook! Also recorded the Wayne Riker piece I had been working through - so on to the next. Also did some more Griff solo work. I think I understand where he's heading with it and I should be able to finish it soon with a better understanding of things.
Finally - my Father's Day gift was a new guitar, a Telecaster style by "Jet" guitars which are based in Slovinia. Lots of positive reviews and high recommendations. I went at what would be classed as their entry pricing level, though I'm blown away by the quality. Cam from the manufacturer with a nice low action and good intonation. I'm really pleased with "Blondie" and would definitely buy Jet guitars again!
This week is more rhythm work and onto the next lead track from Wayne Riker with some Griff work thrown in for fun - though how much I can get done is questionable as we have stuff going on at home this week that may hinder me, we'll see.
Hope you're all able to get lots of playing done!
