Progress

I am getting pretty excited about progress lately. I am beginning work with some other guitarists on a complilation CD. There will be a cut but I am confident I will make it.

Also progress on my CD. I have just pulled in 14 songs/drafts to begin heavily working and fine tuning the compositions. I am pretty happy about it. There are NO distractions to this project. I am doing it alone!!!! That is awesome. One of them which I call Autumn Blue is targeted for the compilation. My mentor has suggested I record the CD twice.....once and then start again from scratch. That being to get a much better fine tuned sound for my first disc. I will gladly follow that process.

My speed chops are getting stronger too. I am raising the numbers on both my alternate and directional picking, In a few months I will be getting close to my record speed yet at a more comfortable relaxed position in my hands and arms. My record speed is based off my playing in 1989 where I was practicing 6-10 hours a day at Guitar School. I am only logging about 30-60 minutes a day tops just of speed practice. The key is consistency. I intentionally only do a little so I can come back the next day not burnt out. It is working so far. Before it was push until I was burnt, get sick of it and quit and get back and try again.....

Anyway I leave with some shredders....some day..minus the stupid outfits and hair....
