Can’t believe we have reached the end of this challenge! I have really enjoyed it and have got so much more from it than I would have imagined! And of course I have played my guitar more this past 4 weeks than in the past 4 months, or possibly longer! This has got one of my New Year resolutions off to a great start and with luck will both spur me on to be as engaged with my other resolutions and to continue in the same vein with my guitar.
Week 4:
Saturday Dec 30: 30 minutes (learning of the 8 bar blues piece continues)
Sunday Dec 31: 40 minutes (continued practice of the new 8 bar blues piece at a reduced tempo having now learned the entire piece)
Monday 01 Jan: 35 minutes (continued practice of the full 8 bar blues piece at a reduced tempo)
Tuesday 02 Jan: 30 minutes (more practice at a reduced tempo of the full 8 bar blues piece)
Wednesday 03 Jan: 21 minutes (something different today - some strumming song practice: Dock of the Bay and Me & Bobby McGee)
Thursday 04 Jan: 40 minutes (something different again today - practicing the boogie shuffle for the song, “Call Me The Breeze” by JJ Cale)
Friday 05 Jan: 27 minutes (yet more alternative playing, some gentle strumming of a song that I haven’t played along to for ages - Fields of Athenry. Such a beautiful song from such an awful tragedy)
Saturday 06 Jan: 43 minutes (first a warm up, strumming and following the chords for Fleetwood Mac’s Need Your Love So Bad, then a couple of runs through the 8 bar blues piece - getting there! and then a warm down on some old fingerstyle favourites)
Sunday 07 Jan: 30 minutes (a couple of runs through the 8 bar blues piece and then some strumming along with a couple of songs I’ve not tried before,She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 and Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton. Thoroughly enjoyable)
Total Days: 9 days
Total Minutes: 296 minutes (4 hours 55 minutes)

Thank you Neil for setting this challenge, it has really boosted my appetite for playing, back to where it was a year or so ago.
