Try to Get Out

I threw out the old practice plan. I posted on craigslist and found some guy to play with. So I learned Back in Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls to jam with him. Turns out Bell Tolls doesn't work with 2 guitarist(too boring but worked well when I had a 5 piece band), so we're moving on to Fade to Black instead. Hopefully he'll call me for another session, but who knows. I'v also contacted some guy who wants to start a CCR band, but he's still waiting for a drummer and singer. Phil gave me a good suggestion for singing practice. Sing the chord tone for a chord. Eventually, take 2 or 3 chords and build a melody with the chord tones and sing over the corresponding chords. Also don't bother to use a tuner to check my singing, it's rock and not opera. I'm actually surprise how well I did, but I guess my ears has gotten better the past 3 months.

Short term goals:
1. Fade to Black (new)
2. Lesson 1 for Blues you can Use. Still need to load the CD and master that E7 with the streched pinky fingering. I already know the scale and the other chords. I'll try to sing the scale and transcribe the Texas Blues song by ear.
3. Polish up Back in Black rhythm
4. Who'll stop the rain with vocals
5. Bad Moon Raising with vocals
