Day 2: Showing up.

Day one is easy. The second day is all about showing up. So far I've got 45 minutes of Mandolin and and hour on the guitar along with time to stretch. Moving to the steel guitar now to run some right-hand exercises and then we take a break.

Showing up ready to work. That's the key.

90 Days to Mastery

I've read that it takes 30 days to make something a habit. What would you do if you had not one month but three that were all yours?

Today starts day 1, a 3-month chance to create some new habits and chase some long-standing goals.

Goal 1: 3 months of lessons and practice on the Pedal Steel.  My first lesson is Wednesday, and is 3 hours long. Today I'm setting up the old Sho-Bud steel guitar and getting it read to start working again. Why that one? Because we're going to tackle that damn C6 neck I've been using as an arm rest.

Goal 2: Get my mandolin laying together once and for all. Scales and picking exercises all ready. My target is 30 min/day.

Goal 3: Get my fiddle playing better. Basically take those scales on the mandolin and translate them to the fiddle. Target is again, 30 min per day.

Goal 4: Get back to playing solo gigs. I'm getting a song a day ready. Lap steel, National, Guitar, whatever. One song per day, gig ready.

OK. Done typing for the day. Time to get Old Red set up and get to work. See y'all tomorrow.
