We had a gig in York today, but I wasn't too happy with my performance. I had a case of super glue fingers, meaning my fingers get sweaty and sticky, and moving up or down the strings gets hard and imprecise.
I suspect I sweat more on some stages due to the lighting or the air in the club. I will start experimenting with talcum powder at the next gig, maybe that helps. Any #gearsquad people have other recommendations?
My guitar practice and theory webapp: https://guitar-practice.martinaspeli.net
Make practice goals and routines and track them. Study music theory and progressions. Manage a library of lessons/content, seeded with links to the excellent HubGuitar.
Code: https://github.com/optilude/guitar-practice
Be gentle. It’s free and hosted on free tier Vercel and Neon db.
In case you’re curious - some screenshots of the app (on mobile - it spaces out a bit more on a bigger screen)
Does anyone have an above-average understanding of music theory, (ideally jazz) harmony, and guitar practice, that would be willing to review and give me some feedback on an app I’ve built?
I’ve created an open source app that includes a music theory reference for guitar, chord scales, chord substitutions, harmonic analysis of simple progressions and a system to manage practice routines. I think it’s starting to be pretty good but I would like some help validating what the content is sound and the functionality is useful.
I don’t intend to monetise or advertise it. It’s for my own use mainly. But it might be useful to others and I don’t want to share it if it contains material errors.
