1) The three repertoire songs. Will add to repertoire after a March gig.
2) The two major scales in the Western Swing Book.
3) Adding to my knowledge of the Western Swing Licks. Know two so far, one of which can be used prior to a chord change. The b7 note helps lead to a chord change. I'm working so far out of what looks like a major chord form with the root on the E string(s).
4) Learning scale tones:
A) Memorizing one line when the root is on the low E string, and extrapolating from that.
B) Memorizing one line when the root is on the A string, and extrapolating from that.
5) Three Charlie Christian shapes: two of which for a minor chord, and one for a 7th chord.
6) The Charlie Christian "Six Appeal" solo.
7) Learning the Charlie Christian "Poor Butterfly" solo with its forms.
8) Learning to recognize keys by looking at the measure which lists the shaps and flats.
9) Learning the chords associated with each key. What helps me in this is remembering the major scales on the piano, and utilizing the formula in the Western Swing book.
