So, I have a bunch of random stuff to report.
F sucks. Starting to do the 1 minute changes. Yes, just starting - the last few weeks have been completely insane. Starting to calm down now - those two really stressful things? One is behind me, the other I'm in the process of. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on track shortly.
So, I'm way behind in practice. I have been just playing (not doing any exercises, just playing "music", for certain values of music) for about 20 minutes, and that's generally all I can manage. I need to get back on track with a practice routing that includes EXERCISES. The problem is they are no fun.
I did a full practice today - including my exercises (the finger exercises, as well as the 1 minute changes and basic chord practice), so, that's good, I guess.
I *finally* figured out what I've been doing wrong with F - I needed to choke-up on it a bit, so my barre is starting at my first knuckle, instead of ending with my fingertip. With my fingertip, the B string falls in a crack of a knuckle, and ends up muted, but this way, everything sounds great. And I'm starting to be able to do it semi-quickly. I've noticed improvement even since last night.
So, going better than it was, and seeing improvement again, instead of just hanging on.
