Hey man, you shred?

Timothy McTague of UnderoathMonday night band practice! Things went "okay." I think we weren't really feeling it tonight, well at least I wasn't. However, I came up with some harmonies on the fly for one of our songs and it, well, it was pretty damn awesome. I think our bass player wet himself, though I can't confirm it.

Man, I'm struggling with sight reading right now. I'm trying to play a beginner piece that is geared toward a student/teacher duet, but I'm trying to play both parts on my own. I can read the notes just fine, but there are two ledgers (is that the right word?). I can play each piece relatively smoothly on their own, but as soon as I try to combine them, I fall apart. This makes me wonder, is it my poor sight reading or is it my poor finger-picking/open hand technique? Probably both!

Song of the day: "Last Goodbye" - Jeff Buckley
