Taking up a new / old hobby this winter?

Stay on the train. Forgive yourself any transgressions.
Scales are big for anything in life…I guess. Hoping you stuck to it.

Lol. Plan to see the video of me falling off my boat first.

Hah!

I am having a good time with it. There have been a few times that I have impressed myself that my fingers just went with the flow on scales even though my mind might have wondered. It goes to show that practice is paramount.

I am enjoying learning music theory but there is a disconnect between my brain, ears, fingers and keys but if I keep practicing the keys so that my hands can operate the machine on its own, it will come together. I know, super analytical but when I get into something, I dive deep.

A pic of the setup. All paid for by not smoking. That however is another story with regression a few weeks back.

Thank you for asking!

Guitar lessons as a child and percussion in middle school band, then one time, at band camp.....

Haven't played anything in decades.

Had a patient in Harrisburg who was a bass player, had worked at MTV and VH1 in NY when they still had music videos. He was accumulating the uke basses and Chinese guitar knockoffs from Amazon.

I know my scales pretty well now.

I’ve been working on Hanon Exercises lately. My hands are feeling strong and arthritis free. An incredible side benefit after a zillion years of CAD and computer gaming.
