WOW then he has some tips on "getting caught", "windows" and "closing thoughts"
Whew. you know, you but  dvd and expect to immediately KNOW the information the and be perfect.
But I don't. I'm 57 and want to be good. I didn't have those early years with friends practicing with me or simply having the 'free time' to practice.
So that's the challenge at this point: Master Eric Jones' Metal 1.

Time line. A time line is good.
I'll keep to the hour practice per little piece.
What I did was to put a number of practice sessions next to each each.
But that is just a guess. And it does give me a time line in a sense.
I'll do that now but you'll have already seen the results.

Done. 71 initial practice sessions. I know a lot of these but that doesn't mean i can skip them. Nope! I'll take each one again.
My plan is 4 days a week for each session.
One day to review the material for that week and previous week.
I guess I need to recall the names of the slights too. I have a poor memory but I'll give it a try.
This means 14 weeks to master this dvd.
Week one starts today. Week goes from Mon to Sun. AHHH I'm already a day late!
The flourishes i added one more practice session meaning I'd use the whole week on that. Say with routines so the total weeks has increases to 81...81?
Well that's 20 weeks. I probably counted incorrectly.
Start now - Complete Aug 3rd. One week before Pat and my vacation.
Sounds like a plan. I'll be posting to Youtube at the beginning and end of each week.
THAT's the plan.
