Module 13
At the beginning of the week, three sessions for 7th chord work, blues chord progressions, and the beginner solo, then unfortunately lots of traveling and no time for practice.

At least I practiced the blues shuffle riff three times and realized that I tend to grip too heavily without knowing it, which quickly leads to muscle pain. Next weeks I need to optimize the pressure I apply when playing power chords like blues shuffle grips and train more endurance to avoid pain.

Song Work
Christmas songs: Let It Snow is working quite well, so that will be my contribution to Deborah’s Christmas Recordings Challenge i think, if I manage to take a nice recording. The start with Rocking Around has also been made.

Wish You Were Here Challenge: I’m ready to go for the with Level 1, but there’s still some time left and I want to try to record Level 2.

and it’s also my first lesson - performance, as a beginner, I didn’t want to do that, but for a sweepstake - why not?
