im startin wo whoop some ass at certain parts of the A major scale. im not completely proficient in it yet, but i could jam with somebody in the key of A with me improvising, probably for a half an hour at least before me running out of an idea. maybe longer.probably longer, because i can always repeat things in a different kind of way, change stuff up, etc.
i guess you could say im gettin really alot better than i used to be at scales. i used to always worry about my pinky finger, try to make it get some of the notes on there, but that was slowing me down. now that i didnt worry about that, i got alot better. pinky was holding me back. in a year or so i will probably have my pinky dex up a bit, then i can use the pinky more...but its fine now, i think.
i rented two grateful dead movies, and jerry cheats his pinky over, i've seen times when he should have used his pinky but used a different finger instead...which makes me alot happier.
my right hand is amazing, some how the alternate picking seems to me, that i can go as fast as i possibly can, and my right hand is still hungry for more...usually the right hand and left hand are out of sync for a while, but since i take lessons that wasnt a long period of time.
now here's what i am wondering - now that i can 'play' the A major scale decently, should i just go to a G major now, or just keep workin the A major?
