Another busy week in store so I managed
to get two shorter sessions done today both of which are dedicated to
my Mum. She donated half of her bingo winnings but told me not to
tell my sister as she'd want the other half.
The session started with a quick warm
up then I went into Showing Off thinking a little more carefully
about the sound I am making and how to articulate and pluck the
strings effectively. When I listened to my hands individually it was
clear that the left hand is worse than the right hand so I
experimented with different ways trying to improve the sound. I think
I now need a little more guidance so will try and book a lesson
sooner rather than later!
I also did a little more on the Mahna
de Carnival using the inspirational playing of Stan Getz to guide my
phrases. My technique does not allow me the complete freedom I would
like but the introduction is working really well now and I can play
that in a variety of ways, some more stylistically appropriate than
others! So thanks to Mum!
