Action hero we worked on plucking middle part so now the whole piece.
Continue with Improvising. We played with backing track and this week used rhythm patterns to play our improvisation. Next week we will make our own. Same as last week We worked on using only A then we tried D and A. This week try adding E on D string and then finally try with the four suggested notes D- E - F (low 2 on D string) and A as an extension.
I am going to add a video shortly to help explain this!
I want to encourage careful practice to help improve the pieces rather than just 'playing through' them. Keep practice slow and be patient! It WILL pay by off!
Can you continue to play Carribean Moonlight.
Its always good to have a piece confidently under your belt!
Happy playing!🎻🎻🎶🎶
