Something Every Day

So, there's been a break of about 6 days between the first and second time that I've been working on this project. Not a great start. I've been away for two days and there have been other days where it was difficult to get my 30 minutes of practice in without overworking myself. But there were also at least two days where I could have easily worked on the project, so there's that. I'll need to be a bit more strict with myself to get this project going, but as always it's more important to just keep continuing on with it, even if there has been a large break inbetween.

Its a very easy song, which I can play really well, where only the solo takes some practice. Other than that, there is a small pause in the song where I basically only need to learn how long I have to wait to play the next note. But yeah, that's the part I haven't done yet. So the mission here is to memorise how long I have to wait until I have to play the next note and practice that. And while...
