I did this last year and it helped me focus. I am now moving into my 3rd year of blues harp. I must say the first year was much easier than the second year. I started 2022 lost in the wilderness knowing techniques and not knowing what to do next.
I was largely successful in last year’s goals, but deviated a bit. One thing that I highly recommend is to sit and do a self-assessment on techniques…for me the self-assessment was invaluable.
2023
-
Listen to learn, learn to feel, feel then play (my North goal)
-
Bending - land the bends don’t scoop the bends
-
Continue the tongue block training but do it with a hybrid approach in mind
-
Focus on rhythm / time
-
Get comfortable with improvisation
-
Get so dang good with blues scale that the neighbors start humming it!
+6 -5 -4 -4/ +4 -3 -3// -2
-2// +2 -1/ +1 -
Improve weekly training planning. Stop chasing squirrels
Happy new year y’all!
