This week I continued to work on Classical Gas, and while I made really decent gains, there is still room for significant improvement. I am going to keep working on this until I pretty well own it.
Also this week I worked on Baby I Love Your Way by Peter Frampton, Danny’s Song by Loggins and Messina, and Kokomo by The Beach Boys.
I have enjoyed this challenge so much that I plan to continue this theme in a daily log book.

This week I aimed to do the 3 x 3 strategy recommended by Neil, and met that goal on most of the days. Can't explain it, but I believe that strategy works well for me! Planning to keep logging the minutes going forward.

Sorry I missed the last week but I traveled to San Diego to see my daughter and did not take a guitar, as I needed to spend the week with the family. I did do finger exercises and some rhythm drills incognito (especially rasgueado practice) each day, but it did not really fit the rules of the 3 minute challenge, which involves picking up a guitar. We did tour the museum of music production in Carlsbad and they have lots of guitars you can play. I got to try a very nice Taylor and got in a jam with a young guitarist who latched onto the songs I was playing. Great spontaneous fun! Just wanted to let you know I did not abandon ship but life sometimes interferes with my hobby ! This week was about taxes. Back to practicing after tax day! Best to all and congrats to the winners!
Moving back into my real house on April 18th! Odds of being hit by a tornado twice in one lifetime is exceedingly low, so I hope that misadventure is over!
