daveinspain Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Today is a beautiful beach day as was yesterday but I chose to stay in and practice. I gave myself a gold star. You can't see it but it's stuck on my forehead... Ive been away on vacation and now I have a band rehearsal this coming Thursday, can't wait! I've been running through the tunes, ( we have close to 50 songs now ), it's amazing how easy it is to forget stuff in a relatively short period. We're also starting to learn some more challenging tunes, including some standard lounge and Latin Jazz type stuff, so I'm going outside of the comfortable 4 chord rock and blues vain. I also have an opportunity now to put together an acoustic thing to play at a restaurant right across the street from my house. The owner of the restaurant, who always sees me coming and going with my guitar, asked me if I'd be interested in playing at the restaurant… Totally! We'll see what happens with that.

LarryUK Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I agree that practice makes you better. But some people just have 'it'. Talent. They still perfect their style, but it's natural for the, Vai being one. You can't get like that from practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertAndersson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It seems you have very exciting things to come! I believe that you eventually will master whatever you practice. So keep up the good work! //Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvinator Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It was a great beach weekend on Lake Erie - no practicing here. I'll have to get some time in today and try for a gold star (so I don't go to tonight's rehearsal with a black X on my forehead! ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Good for you, Dave. I like the sound of the "cross the street" gig. Could be a new opening for a different side of your playing in the med-long term. Feel free to accept a Gold Star from me too! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
