Mar 27: Almost
I almost didn’t play at all today.
1. My right arm hurts. A lot. And I can’t lift it over my guitar.
2. Sundays are always busy days for us.
But when we got back from my parent’s for dinner, I grabbed the tenor uke and played one song before we put the kids to bed.
And apparently I’m not holding ukuleles correctly with my left hand. I’m going to have to practise that.
Mar 28: Recovering
My arm and back still hurt a bit, so I didn’t play too long today.
I played my songs. It’s been two days since I played them. It was nice to get back to the routine.
Oh, and our publisher loved the theme for Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers that we recorded. So that’s the first part of our book trailer done!
Mar 29: Still going slow
I only played mountain king (bleh, did not do well), my 3 songs, and the French song today.
My arm hurts.
The songs sounded great though.
Also, I got some awesome news today, but I can’t share yet. Just be excited for me. 🙂
Mar 30: Learning app
I was able to get that extra note in mountain king 2/4 times, but the notes that followed it… Less often. Very frustrating. I’ll get there. It’s just frustrating at the moment.
I played my songs, including the theme at speed. I’m actually impressed with how much easier it is than I thought.
It’s like recording has taken the pressure off. 🤷🏼♀️
Mar 31: End of March
The end of March means I’ve been playing guitar for NINE months.
Seriously.
I think I’m in a pretty good place for nine months of playing. I wouldn’t say I’m advanced, but I definitely feel as though I’m beyond a beginner.
I just hope I haven’t picked up any bad habits. 😬
I did better at mountain king today. I’m getting there!
I played my songs. They make me happy.
Apr 1: Sore
I’m falling apart.
I don’t recommend growing older.
Lifting my arm to hold my guitar was very painful today.
I did not do well on mountain king. I failed it the first time.
I played my songs. They sounded the way I wanted them to. I’ve been focussing on volume control when using the pick, getting louder and softer depending on the mood. (Forte vs piano)
