learning music

I'm glad i made the decision to to stop lessons with jose for the time being.

Besides financial reasons, somehow I feel 'lighter'. It's probably the fear of hearing him saying another 'NO' to me!

The next step would be to increase my lines vocabulary and improve on the clarity of my tones when im picking. I'm still practicing the major scales at all positions in cycles of fourth. Still trying to do it everyday for 1 hour. Consistency, i think is the best teacher. I'm learning new lines as I play the scales over and over again.

I'm also goign to purchase a few books. Jazz Guitar Chord System (Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Private Lessons) -- by scott henderson. will be one of them. I'm trying to get hold of Joe Satrianis book too.

I am thinknig now, the ingredients I then need to improve =
1) desire to improve (i have to know why am i doing what im doing - my objectives...etc)
2) decide how much resources I am going to put in
3) Action plan and stick with it.
4) constantly think about 1) to keep realigning myself and focus.
