AAD SOCG 1 - Day 1

Seeing as I am not in Holland for the SoCG course, it seemed prudent to direct my energies that way; my current status of job-searching really could use a jolt of incoming constructive energy.  There is also a Keynotes project approaching as well, and that is pulling me, but I'll wait to see about that.

For this project:
Sitting at 7:15 am, exercise TBD
90 min of guitar practice
Pauses on the hour from 9a-4p
Diarizing the process, for personal accountability

Today doesn't quite feel like a beginning.  I'd originally intended that I'd begin this project today, but on waking (in time to be showered for the sitting), I realized that arrivals are today.  So this affects the energy.

Sitting a little later, at 8:30ish.  60 pts for today.  Dropping the pauses today.  Some creative exercises fell short, but so it goes.  Personal state in some turmoil, but this isn't surprising.

Practice on the electric.  No scale work, only calisthenics.  First primary, 24 permutations, on the slower side, with a click:  speeding up has been really habitual lately.  With the thought in mind that I'll need to have the anchor in good shape soon, I came back to an exercise Victor gave me years ago to work on maintaining the correct arch in the fingers.  After a verbatim revisit, however, I looked at it with the 1st secondary in mind.

With each finger:  1st string, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1, 6,
2 3 2 4 2 5 2 6
3 4 3 5 3 6
4 5 4 6
5 6
6 5 6 4 6 3 6 2 6 1
5 4 5 3 5 2 5 1
4 3 4 2 4 1
3 2 3 1
2 1

Moving to each finger in turn.  And again, using each pair of fingers (12 13 14, 21 23 24, 31 32 34, 41 42 43) in conjunction with the pattern.

And to dinner.
