Just playin'

Tonight I took a break from the regular method book and just had some fun playing. I broke out BIAB, and pulled up a chart for All of Me. I turned off the built-in melody, and took the head and 2 improv choruses myself.

Not bad for as short a time as I've been trying to make this guitar thing work.

I also tried out the "essential jazz lick #1" from the included 101 jazz licks. I couldn't get anywhere near the established tempo of 200bpm, but I had no problems up to around 140. After 10 minutes, at 110, I was completely locked in.

I think it's going to take a loooong time before I'm really ready. Thankfully, I indeed have that time.
