Members MuyLoCo444 Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 Like a journal or something like that? I've never done it, but am thinking I might. My practice routine is getting crazy, and it would probably make sense to start keeping a record of what I'm playing. So who here has done this and is it convenient?

Members 1001gear Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 Have not - but that's my problem. I do record knob positions though. Anyway, if you keep records as part of an organized curriculum I can see only benefit. Simply keeping a diary, IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Li Shenron Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 I tried several times, long long ago. But eventually I didn't benefit from it. I've never practiced so many hours in a day that I had troubles remembering the daily plan anyway. I don't know, did you guys use to keep a record of what you studied for your high school or university exams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeremy_green Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yes during stages... it works well if you keep it in a place where it is visible and will get used. I dont do anything all the time ... but a journal has been very helpful at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mosiddiqi Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 I don't keep a journal in that sense, but I do record every single time I play..which have been invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gennation Posted February 5, 2011 Members Share Posted February 5, 2011 No, I've never done that. I do keep a pic and vid and small text journal of shows I'm playing. I do write out things I learn to go back through and try and further inspiration, but I never do it as a log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreenAsJade Posted February 6, 2011 Members Share Posted February 6, 2011 At the moment I have started recording when I have rehearsed each song I'm supposed to be able to play. They are in a spreadsheet, and I just update the date next to each as I play it. Then I sort the spreadsheet by date and pick another one near the bottom. This is the only way I can think of to make sure I don't forget stuff, because although the list of tunes I can theoretically play with each of the two bands I'm in isn't that big, I find the darn things get spiderwebs on them really really quickly I have also written down what I'm supposed to practice. A bullet list like - Stetina exercises - Scales - Arpeggios - Sight Reading - Transcription - Repetoire A prefect day I'd do some of each of these. Doesn't happen all that often!
