So it has been over a week… let’s see my progress!
I feel like I got way more effective due to the finger exercises and forcing myself to keep the fingers as close as I can. Although I forgot in the first bar, see it on camera and quickly fix it
What I think I have to work on/is still not good is consistency in timing/rythm and dynamics. I guess/hope that this comes automatically with playing and I still do the groove workout. The last week my daily practice routine, using my practice website, was:
- 1 drum track playthrough finger exercise level 2
- 1 drum track playthrough finger exercise level 3
- 1 drum track groove workout 1 silent bar with premeditated notes
- 1 drum track groove workout 1 silent bar slap alternating notes - empty string/3rd or 5th fret
- playing what I want. I sometimes practiced Billy Jean but max 4-5 reps and not daily
This is also recorded with my new DAI (Behringer U-Phoria UMC 404HD)
Tips and constructive feedback always very welcome! I make these videos mainly to see myself playing to have an external eye I can use but why not use other real pairs of eyes, too?
Also this is the premiere of the caped bassist and I contacted my friend with the cosplaying sister. In general she is open for costume orders! So… since I don’t take myself seriously, have too much time on my hands and had a weirdly huge amount of fun shooting that intro take I think I’ll pursue this further
I still have to contact her but she said I should already have a picture or idea in mind so I’m thinking about something specific before contacting her.
