1 hr. Finished just as midnight rolled around.
It's been a while since a practice log.
G, C, D majors 2 octave scales, with shifting on the 3rd position e string on C and D scales.
Went over Sleepin Soond - the bow needs a few more turns and after that it goes fast.
Ragtime Annie is getting convincing. Love it.
I took some time to go over 6 or 7 of the tunes we learned already. Most of them are still in muscle memory! I'm surprised how much I retained.
Tuning/intonation is so much better these days.
The last 10 minutes I went over Part A of Rejected Suitor/Lover.
And I had a breakthrough. I realised that Katie's version was swinging very differently than what I was playing. I stopped playing the way I usually played, and actually caught the pulse of 2/2, which is also called cut time.
I realised that 2/2 is different from 4/4! It's amazing how much the feel changes with such seemingly similar time signatures.
I need to do more with that 2/2 time - and need to learn the rest of the Rejected Lover. I actually really like that tune.
That's all for tonight.
