day 1: i dug out and selected about 10 fingerstyle/classical tunes to work on. many are my own arrangement. i played through some, and realized that there were some corrections to be made. so i spent about 1.25 hours playing and 1.25 hours correcting them.
day 2: i got my 2 hours in today. one of the easy tunes i'm working on is bill tyer's arrangement of tennessee waltz. i realized i had a sound recording of him playing it as well, so i listened to it and immediately realized he plays it differently than his arrangement, and i like the way he plays it better. after trying to mark up his arrangement, it got too messy, so i decided i need to rewrite it. spent another hour working on that and it's still not done.
i find the arranging and analyzing the playing of others useful, but i really need pure playing practice time. i have used a few 10-15 minute gaps in my day to play, so i feel pretty good about that.
i have a few minutes now and i better not waste them on the computer.
