disappointing review

I'm pretty unhappy about my progress this past week. I spent a lto of time playing, and on those days I should have played only after practicing.

There are four pieces I've selected that I will hold myself back on for next week. I'll spend this week really tightening up on those few pieces, getting tempos solid and tone as well. I really bet that I'll be able to lock them in with just a little extra work, and that will leave me in a better position for next week's work. I didn't want to add new things to my plate without the old material being really solid.

I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to do gear-wise in the medium term. I plan to slowly build a rig from what I have now, not making any major moves in my equipment. I'll replace things like my RP300 with a 350, but I'm also not going to buy any more gear that I wouldn't consider taking to any gig I might land. All amps, all guitars, all effects have to be gig-worthy.

Not that there are any gigs coming soon. I'm keeping myself out of that possibility until I really ramp up my playing.
