I’m getting back into the swing of things in the New Year. I had maybe only practiced once in the past couple of weeks, and practice was pretty spotty for a little while before that as well. I’m not going to delve into it here, but, December isn’t always a jolly time.
To break out of that slump, I finally played a song I had been wanting to try for weeks, Silent Night, a traditional Christmas ballad, in 3/4 time, at a peaceful 61bpm, only requiring three chords: G, C, and D7. Having recently gotten G and C, this seemed like an obvious, easy song to play for Christmas. So… here is me just winging it without having practiced for quite a while, or having practiced singing and playing it at all, last night!
Also, today, I got in my full, prescribed, practice, plus the othet little things I usually try to get in with practice (ear training intervals, riffs, songs that I’m working on [e.g. The Addams Family theme]).
