A Week's Worth of Effort

It might not sound like much to stick to a goal for a full week, but with me and guitar that's major thing. Usually by this time my boredom circuits would have kicked in and I'd be looking for something else to do. That's why I chose the solo to "In My Dreams." I like it so I figured I'd be more likely to stick with it. So far that seems to be true. At this point I have all of the notes for the first half of the solo under my fingers. A little better timing and some more speed (especially towards the end of the first half) will do the trick. Now that I think about it, that's not back for a week's work. Of course the second half of the solo has all of the really tough stuff.

Once I get the whole thing down except for speed, I think I'll record is at various speeds until I reach full speed. Maybe start out REALLY slow and go up in about 10 bps intervals until I hit 120. I guess I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.
