August Livestream
0:00 Intro
importance of foundation
pay attention to depth
recap of july challenge and also develop from xhallenge to next step
application idea - is universal
you learn something - looking to develop
do the homework, but take it a step further
“why the homework is there? for you to discover something/some ideas
come up with 1 thing, then come up with one more thing
ex 3 2 1, then
three different steps
important not to get into too many choices (working hard, but not getting anywhere, just feeling good because you are doing a lot)
4:50 Recap
limited - top 3 strings - be familiar with one area
if this wasn’t a challenge, you probably would do everything
beware of roadmaps - music is always changing
instead of learning songs - learn part of foundation - limit area of focus - be familiar - be versatile
1. No looking at fretboard - when you hit wrong note, hit again, then wwrong note can make more sense. nothing is bad - eve3erything useful - but how you take it
2. all the detail around learning major scale, major triad inversions, not looking, one string approach
3. not easy way but last longer and more fun in the long run
9:30 Next Steps
1. not looking - apply to other areas of practice - eyes control you/your playing
2. different position triad inversions G, C, D, G - think about more things before you just play - apply to different strings - how you can play the same phrase in a different position - now you can hear the sound (learn 2nd 3rd 4th set, what sounds good to you?)
3. 13:40 5th 4th and 3rd string
4. 17:15 one more idea
very important - how to think - don’t think i need to learn every set of strings - very technical and physical way to think - i need to do everything - no only one thing next step. one at a time. and i wait. no hurry.
