Another night without discipline

At least there's a little bit of an excuse.

I didn't stay on target for the method book, but I at least got in around 45 minutes of various play using Band in a Box. There's just too many tunes available in BiaB to easily put it aside. I also didn't feel like playing my exercises with headphones on, so it was either practice without a metronome, or play along with BiaB. That turned out to be an easy choice.

I'm kind of worried about the intonation on my Dot. I seem to feel some slight intonation issues in the lower frets, but I can't really pin it down. It might be due to my play with a death grip (instead of lightly touching the strings), since the guitar is almost perfectly intonated according to the best tuner I have available. With the tiniest bit of overdrive, it sounds really great. When it's completely clean, though, there's the faintest bit of trouble. I don't know if this is normal or not.
