I decided to log my practice weekly instead of daily. Nothing’s changed other than the amount I’ll be posting so here goes.

This week was spent mostly dialing in on the Low G Flight Diana. I think I have a good handle on it now. It’s only a slightly different feel than the Ohana but it’s enough to throw off my left-hand position. Honestly, it doesn’t take too much to do that!

I mostly played through my tab book and continued working on fingerpicking. Tonight I decided to sight-read a couple of new songs so after a little warm-up, I went with Moondance by Van Morrison and Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer. The last one has a ton of new cords for me so it was slow going but after a few run-throughs, it was mostly recognizable. The transition from the D to the Bm to the Em was a lesson in frustration, but I’ll get it with practice. Still loving the crap outta my ukuleles and exploring more music every week!

Total practice time this week was 8 hours and 10 minutes.

This week got a little…crazy. I was practicing an hour or two each day but that went out the window this week. An old friend moved back here from Hawaii and not only does he play ukulele now but he makes very high-end custom ukuleles, too. He’s been looking for someone to play with and we connected and set up a session. That led to 5 hours of playing! The next session a couple of days later was seven hours! That kinda wrecked my usual number of practice hours for the week in a good way.

Total practice time 18.5 hours and my fingers are still in one piece!
