Tuesday

Usual warm up with scales and arpeggios.
Chops practice.
Despite my promise to get a lot done today I didn't! Oh well.

Wednesday

30 mins. Warm up, scales and arpeggios

1hr 30. Rhythm and time. Did the subdivision stuff at 40bpm and 60 bpm, note limitation stuff and '22 rhythms' from Jerry Bergonzi book. Really felt the benefit of this stuff today!

1hr. Chops practice and substitutions through Blue Bossa. Feel fluent with this now, more can be done still"

40 mins. Creative Practice. Imrovised with the diminished scale from the perspective of the four relevant dominant arpeggios. Like doing it from this perspective. Might say perspective a few more times...

1hr. Harmony. Studied from the triads over bass notes stuff from 'The Advancing Guitarist'. Want to use some of it as the basis for a composition.

Thursday

Busy day. Learnt a song by a metal band called Testament in the morning, standard fare E harmonic minor stuff. Mullets, leather and biblical references mandatory. Afternoon nipped on M1 down to Sheff to rehearse with Bridie, discussed that I should probably consider including our repertoire in my practice haha. Taught in the evening.
