I am taking up this challenge to be more structured and focused on 2 particular things I want to improve on.

I only have the first 3 weeks of this Month as I am on holiday the last week of June .....

There are 2 things that I am going to focus on over and above the practice I already do and dedicate at least 15 mins a day to each.

Challenge 1 - Developing my Improvisation. I recently attended a Level 1 Blues & Rock Improvisation Workshop at KGS. This wetted my appetite.

• Learn the Am Pent Scale Positions 1 and 2

• Use those Scales to Improvise over Am Backing Tracks and incorporating things like bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs and vibrato.

• Be able to move between Scales during Improvisation

Challenge 2 - Mama I'm Coming Home by Ozzy Osbourne

This is a song I am learning as part of a future Scratch Band gig organised and run by KGS.

• Be able to comfortably play the acoustic intro and verse riff at "band speed". Currently I am ok at 75%.

• Be able to change from riff to chords at "band speed" throughout the song. Currently I am ok at 75%.

Better get on with it then!!
