Saturday

Played guitar and did very very little singing at Mass tonight. A good day of practice, too. Went over a new "Assembly Line" form. 

Interesting time practicing Charlie Christian stuff. Thought I would do better to abandon it and go back to a previous method. However, I stuck it though and actually learned something.

What I like about the Charlie Christian method is that it seems to combine a couple methods of learning how to improv: not only does it eliminate use of scales and seems to focus in learning great licks, it additionally teaches chord forms from where those licks/arpeggios come from. Worked on the first measure or so of "Six Appeal," and I like it.
