Just finished half an hour of scales on my bass. I'm relearning the neck, relearning how to place my fingers (so the notes don't buzz) and relearning what scales sound like... or should sound like.
With neuropathy in my finger tips, my loss of hearing and lack of practice, it's hard.
It's exhausting. It leaves me shaking. It needs to be done.
I think I'll cut my practice into to parts: scales in the morning, songs and riffs in the afternoon. I don't want to do a full hour mixing up different exercises. I want to concentrate on one thing each session. I'm not sure how I'll fit in my guitar practice but that may be for another time. Keyboard scales are more for ear training than for actually keyboard skills but some muscle memory from my childhood playing still seems to be present. I need to concentrate on the sounds... not the fingering right now.
I just need to put in the work.
