Release my album on 10/31
Started hating the intro when I added vocals. Think I gotta push forward and just add backing tracks to the vocal until it’s tolerable but feeling the temptation to throw it away and start fresh.
Play Emoji of a Wave on Guitar
The finger picking pattern is almost there, really struggling with the second and fourth chord (Amaj9 and F#). Need to do some drills
Learn to read sheet music
If I ever doubted a sequence I could easily refer to how it should be played. My default way to learn from now on! Some of my favorite parts here
Play La Vie en Rose on harmonica smoothly
Learning the harmonica has been a bit more challenging than I thought, but I’m really excited to continue learning new songs and working on my skills. I think I’m going to try and learn Dirty Old Town by The Pogues next.
Master Going to California by Led Zeppelin
I'm following a tab by Oliver Elmes, on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/9WdT0C28aCs?si=ioc6DRrcfjeZ46EA I'm making some deliberate changes of my own. There are also some inconsistencies between the tab and what Oliver plays and I will point these out. I want to be able to play the song all the way through the exact same way each time, with vocals.
Learn to play the violin (twinkle twinkle)
With more practice, I have been able to make my finger movement better. Also, I have gotten to the point where I know roughly how much pressure to put on the strings while playing. I am going to consider this complete!
Memorize the guitar fretboard
40 bpm target hit.
Learn Guitar
I hope to achieve learning a new song by next month
Finish a remix for the song "Ratata" by Skrillex
It was a challenge getting the mix and master sounding whole, but all in all I think the song turned out better than expected! :) Check the description for soundcloud link!!

Results of applying these reverb techniques!
Quick Mastering In Ableton
Compared to the initial mix, our master track is now louder and more cohesive which is the overarching goal of this project.
