Did some recording to see how things sound for the ending section of Juggernaut.

Did some full run throughs of my song Juggernaut, plus some other stuff I wrote.

A friend of mine, Dustin, mailed me some guitar picks to try out. Most of them were Swiss picks. Didn't do anything for me. Another was an XL Jazz III pick. Kind of liked that one, but still nothing like the 6mm Gravity Pick. Also a Dunlop Ultex Sharp. HATED IT INSTANTLY. Yuck!

Then, I went on to practice a string skipping (kind of) riff that finishes off my song Juggernaut.

When learning or practicing a piece of music, or section of music, it can be helpful to break things down into small chunks. This allows you to practice what you want without getting overwhelmed with having to play too much while you learn and improve.

That's what I did for today's guitar log. I broke up the ending section to Juggernaut into 3 chunks.

The chromatic run has proven to be a pain in the butt for me!

This guitar log shows what I did to troubleshoot this note cluster.

In practicing the new ending to my song, Juggernaut, I found some areas that were causing me more trouble than others.

This guitar log is about taking the chromatic descending section and working to improve it.

I have a song out called Juggernaut. Here's the original release: 

I had the privilege of playing this song when Troy Grady from Cracking the Code came out to interview me.

A new ending is in the works. Well, it's written now. This guitar log documents some practice with the new ending.
