Beginner tip that nobody tells you: learn songs in the SAME KEY back to back.

When I started, I'd jump from a song in G to one in Eb and wonder why switching felt so hard.

Once I grouped my practice by key, my muscle memory improved 10x faster. Try learning 3-4 songs all in G major first, then move to C, then D.

If you need a big song library to find enough songs in each key, chordroom.com has 260k+ songs — way easier to find what you need than most tab sites.

Learning a new song? Start with just the chord progression, no strumming pattern. Hum along while switching chords slowly. Once the changes feel natural, THEN add rhythm.

Most people try to do everything at once and get frustrated. Break it down.

She's the featured photo for today on the Wikipedia website. It was cool learning about her, and I'm going to explore some of her work (especially her most famous: Fear of Flying).

My current practice routine:

1. 10 min scales & warm-up
2. 15 min chord transitions (focusing on Bm → G lately)
3. 20 min learning a new song
4. 15 min improvisation

What does yours look like?

What I see anchored to the heart, Heart emerging from the Heart, why must I name it? Why not give it all names? God, Mercy, Source, One, Christ, Mary…And so all the faces of God are the movements o…

I hate having to cut out my #fabulous #tiger picture, but we do not protest for #Trump, honey. Nope. We do it for us. To let each other know we have a certain level of #commitment. We have to have unity. That is an exercise in #unity. We have lost that thread. #Protests are good #practice at unity.

Week 12, I'm working my way through some sketching lessons, so that's what this week was filled with in my hobonichi media journal (I know I was supposed to post this yesterday, whewps).
