Practice Day 2

Well another day and another practice session. Things didn't go as well as they did yesterday. Who would have thought playin gth enotes on 3 strings could be so hard. Playing from the Method book, learning the notes on the first three string. Trying to follow my teachers instructions and say the names of the notes as I play them so I can start to learn the note names as well as the standard notations. Having trouble remembering to play E open string when I have a run... just a mental black.

Also working on playing Pretty Woman (Roy Orbison) and practicing alternating picking always picking up down up down even when my natural instinct is to sweep pick when moving from one string to another. Also working on remembering to play the last note on the main riff on the 5th string 5th fret instead of on the open D.

I need to start working on making a list of songs to work on in class

• Oretty Woman
  
• How can one woman be so mean (Buddy Guy)
  
• You shook me all night long
  
• House of the rising Sun
  
• Sittin' on the dock of the bay
