Hands before theory.

On stage the lead lines fail for two physical reasons: strings I am not playing ring under the gain, and the picking is uneven. Two weeks of muting and metronome picking, and the same lines come out clean.

It is a daily path. Each day is one page with a timer, a metronome and the diagrams for that day. Press start, play, log it. It is not a theory course: nothing gets written here until I can play it, and no scale gets explained before the hands can hold a note clean.
