Learning some notes

so.. other than practicing holding notes, i've also decided to work on my d, c, b, a and g. they are all included on pages 4 and 5 of my practice book--two pages i plan on spending a lot of time on before moving ahead.

as you can hear, i have a long way to go. however, i thought documenting this would make me feel much better later on in life, Lord willing.

45 minutes today. means my mouth is very sore and very dry. it's worth it. in the mean time, i'm off to hang out with some folks for the evening!
