Encore doucement

I have a vague memory that I actually have already posted on this topic, but that actually makes this even more interesting...at least to me.

I was practicing away and thinking as I went that my strings needed replacing. Well, I went off and trimmed my fingernails (always a good idea for lots of reasons), sat down with a nice cabernet to resume practice and was suddenly overtaken with the urge to play softly.

I almost went to jelly at how nice things suddenly sounded, was reminded what a nice guitar I have, and how all was right with the world...if only Napolitano wasn't leaving the state and the university budget wasn't in the toilet...but that's a whole different story!

The gist of all that is that I have to remember not to bang away at the guitar and play with some delicacy sometimes.

Little progress

Things have been really really busy at work of late and this has meant little time for the guitar.

I'm trying to keep up quality practice sessions on the weekend, but during the week, I can miss several days at a stretch.

I don't think I'm backsliding, but I sure miss it!
