As I mentioned in my lesson post last Friday, my instructor gave me Day Tripper by The Beatles as my homework. The song is pretty straight forward, nothing very difficult really. I can play all the bits and pieces, but for some reason, I had the toughest time playing the song straight through without constant screw ups. It took more takes than I＊d like to admit to get what＊s in the final video.
For this weeks lesson we continued with the ※circle of notes§ diagram that I wrote about in my last lesson. My instructor Kit likes to call this his ※Dr. Seuss§ lesson since at first glance it doesn＊t quite make sense and I need to trust that it＊s going somewhere. This week I learned that this was more than just a memorization exercise to learn the notes backwards and forwards from any given note as I wrote last week. This time, Kit added two new circles (shown below) with different ※note spacing§ between the notes.
