144 Day Practice Challenge Frank Roddy

144 Day Practice Challenge: Harmonic Minor is a collection of warm-up exercises which will quickly lead to an improved ability to navigate any situation at any time and in any key so you will never get backed into a corner. The idea is to practice what is written and each day you will have something new to focus on. By the time you reach Day 144, you will have practiced a multitude of exercises in all twelve keys rather than falling into a rut of practicing the same patterns in the same keys all the time. The main focus of this challenge is the Harmonic Minor scale which is the Natural Minor scale with a #7. When playing improv, it is all about your "bag of tricks" or having a variety of riffs to draw from. If your bag is a little on the light side, you may end up running out of ideas halfway through a solo or early in the set. The 144 Day Practice Challenge is designed to advance your skill level and increase your arsenal of riffs which will result in more focused, deliberate, and pointed lines in addition to stronger improvisational ideas. Learn to navigate any situation at any time and in any key so you will never be caught off guard. The 144 Day Practice Challenge puts a series of exercises for all twelve keys at your fingertips. Build your "bag of tricks" in as few as 144 Days!
