After a crappy practice session yesterday and feeling generally annoyed, I sat down to just practice call-and-response. I sat with no backing track or anything, just trying to find a melody that makes sense to me and that I can play around with.
I need more space for this to work, but I think I found a pocket there that made sense, and then explored around it.
and a kind reminder to myself: a year ago, I could, maybe, run up and down the scale without understanding what the hell I'm doing. Things are improving.
