Guilty Guilty Pleasures

This self confessed music nut isn't completely without her vices. I thought as it's been a week of hard work (and then some) I'd lighten the mood and confess some of my guilty pleasures!

Ive already shared the link to my Spotify playlist but here it is again in case you fancy being nosy - I know I love peeking at people's music it's so much fun seeing what I have in common.

Top ten guilty pleasures.. (not in order!)

1). Everybody - Backstreet Boys
2) Rock Me Amadeus - Falco (how bad it that haha!)
3). Patricia The Stripper & Spanish Train (Chris De Burgh, I know it's two!)
4) Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice (hanging my head in shame)
5). The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
6). This Used To Be My Playground - Madonna
7). Heart Skips A Beat - Olly Murs (I love Rizzle Kicks shhhh!)
8). Neighbourhood - Space
9). Strawberry Fields Forever - Candyflip
10). Ball - Craig Armstrong

That's a very guilty and very eclectic little mix for you to go try out. I wonder if any will sneak into you're own guilty pleasure list - probably not haha!

I'm one of those people who come up across a challenge and instead of slowing down and preparing to get through it in a timely fashion I crank it up to 300% and smash my way through the problem. I learned to do this to cope with the struggles of my business but I didn't realise (obviously) at the time I would be learning music.  I've been (and will continue to) applying the same thing to learning music but what I didn't factor in was after you crash through one problem there is another, and another, and they get harder and harder and....!  It's a great way to progress but it's a very difficult thing to sustain so I'm finding the joy in everything I'm doing right now and looking at the lighter side or life, it helps me cope because I don't think there are many people who appreciate just how HARD I'm pushing myself right now - hence today's fun little breather (I'm going to go and listen to ALL these now haha!).

Coffee time for me then practice begins, I've got the latest wall to bang my head against of course!  Enjoy your day, evening or night 😊

Oh just to keep you up to date here is my latest double stop solo attempt - any better?

Brief this week is to go from single notes to double to single in a flowing way.  To add different rhythms to the notes, to try to add more playing away from the beat and the & and to focus on repetition of rhythm and notes but not to straight (so over different area or within a different rhythm etc).
