Something I've been thinking about in case it helps anyone else - I've been working on learning language and lines, and one of the issues I was having was that I'd take down a line or a lick and learn it in a practice session, and then move on and never touch it again and I'd forget it. I'm trying to now get into a habit of applying the technique of "spaced repetition", so a bit of repeated practice of the same lick, ideally as soon as possible after the first time, and then with bigger and bigger gaps. So for example, practice the same lick 2 days in a row, and then revisit it (even just briefly) after a week, then maybe after another 2 weeks. I'm finding things stick a lot firmer this way, and are more likely to come out in my improvising! Same thing should be applicable to other things not just licks, e.g. learning repertoire

27 degrees at 9 in the evening(inside 🫪). Did ya'll know that Its possible to throw in diminished arpegios with all min7b5 chords?🧐 U probably did,but it was a great discovery for me. Makes life a LOT easier 🤟

It’s your first day! Congrats for taking the challenge. Comment “day 1” on this post so we can cheer you on and get cracking in the course in the classroom! In our first video lesson in the course we are looking at learning the melody to Lady Be Good by ear and committing it to memory, using it to bounce off of with some improv. Use this thread to ask any question or post your progress video when you have practised the steps in the video. Happy practising

Once again I’m not in practise mode this weekend. Gigging everyday and playing cars with my son in the day. If this weekend is all about practise for you, what’s your focus? Otherwise, how are you enjoying the weekend? Matt
