My Major Instrument is :

Acoustic Guitar


Technical Skill I want to improve on is :

Tap Harmonics


Technical Exercise I have selected is :

Tapping Harmonics to a certain part of a song, making sure they all resonate well. Start slow and start building up bpm. start at one-third of the original speed and slowly increasing the speed by 20bpm till it goes back to the original bpm of the song.

Reason :

I have never actually perfected Tapping harmonics so I thought that this would be a good exercise and skill to perfect. I've learnt this song about 2 years ago but have never gone into much detail to try to learn the tapping part. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA7QEhffaQU .

Reflect :

I have not started this exercise this week at all. Been too busy trying to get inspiration for PROW.

Plan :

I will try to start on this exercise starting this week.

Do :

I will set reminders for myself to do the exercise everyday

Check :

In a month's time I should be moderately good at Tap Harmonics.

PERP: CA4a – BLOG 2  : Technical Skill : Tap Harmonics Dying Question : How do I attain consistency? Reflect : I had planned to practice every day however I did not keep to it. Got super lazy and also went overseas. Consistently being able to tap all the harmonics has been a difficulty for me since a i've started playing guitar but i think that its due to a lack of practice. Plan : I plan to try my best to practice till i can nail the sequence perfectly 5 times in a row before i put my guitar back down.

1. The technical skill I'm working on is Transcribing in an Alternate Tuning. The song that I'm trying to apply this skill on is Felicity by SungHa Jung. 2. First I listen for the tuning as it is very certainly not in a standard guitar tuning. For this specific song, the first chord that he plays is very open so i get to hear most of the strings. i realised that the tuning is FACFCF. Afterwards I try my best to follow through with the song. With any hard parts I just slow it down and try to follow its timing.   https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cA5QXBWZ4IhZoOk-45ZRDea18Cd--Nyw
