More work after the weekend

Marcin made a call to practice tonight. A good one.

Present: Marcin, Marek & Jacek.

Begin at 18.30

The weekend project completed last night. We go with the flow, and keep working, making a good use of what is available for us.

There are two requests to work on tonight: Primaries & Repertoire.

But first, without looking, we bring the right hand from the hanging down at the side of the guitar position, to the Position of Readiness, and strike A string. Then we begin again, and strike D string.

(My aim for this meeting is to observe the release in my wrist)

Metronome at 56.

Whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eight notes on A string.

(5th string = G, 1st string = g)

DAAAA pattern. In 8th, then 8th & 16th alternating, then only 16th, and back to 8th. Follow this approach with subsequent patterns:

DAAEA

DAEAE

GAEAE

GAEAg

GAEAg DAEAg

Add chords from Hope, learn individual sections as we keep going. We complete with playing through the complete piece, keeping the flow of the picking. Not much talking is needed in order to pass on this piece of the Repertoire.

This session was grounding, reconnecting with the Primaries always works like this for me: I was dopey and unsettled before the meeting, afterwards I was sharp and attentive.

Complete at 19:40

My neighbour whose apartment was available for our project came back tonight. So we go and play for her, her sister, son & my father.

Non-natural notes Circulation.
Beehir
Altana

I'm sure any aspiring performer would appreciate having my father in the audience!

Something clearly began tonight...
