Day 18. Practice and Work Continue, Bangkok Video 30% Done.

Sorrow still exists and consumes me, I always fucked up in the most important things in my life. Lots of tiny, irrelevant success. and fucked it all up in one single failure.

Maybe I just suck.

Practice and work continue.

What I’ve Done Today

  1. ✔️ Guitar Practice
  2. ✔️ Bangkok Video Edit.

Working on the Picking technique.

Start to encounter several songs that include speed. Ran into some tutorials that have really good instructions to give me some directions.

1. Mike Stern is renowned for his exceptional guitar picking technique(less legato). Listening to his story is an excellent starting point. This video focuses solely on his narrative, without complex techniques, serving as a crucial reminder: prioritize mindful practice over the pursuit of numerous methods.

2. Watching Martin Miller learn something new. and his thoughts of learning and practicing.

3. Some explanation and approach to higher speed picking. “Start from forgetting the right notes, just focusing on speed” reminds me to focus on small steps instead of trying to achieve everything at once.

Bangkok Video Progress. “Homework” Assignment Technique

Deadline

3/31. -> I’m going to reset the deadline, currently, it is not realistic cause I don’t even know what my video should look like, so it is no reason to set such a near deadline.

Video Topic Approach

Based on the Rules.

  1. Focus on Putting tips and information.
    • Spendings. Tickets.
    • Money Exchange Place
    • Traffic Tips
    • Things to bring
  2. Don’t talk
  3. Using Original Clips, Don’t use stock video or AI video. but can use screenshots on Google Maps. if need to present something but don’t have clips, use stickers and animation.

It’s kind of hard to tell a story. I don’t have enough close-up/wide-angle shots to create the scene. So I decide to make an informative piece. Focus on telling people what you need to know to travel as a musician.

Information to Provide:

  1. Flight Choice. Eva Air. Instrument Friendly
  2. Bolt & Grab, transportation cost.
  3. Ivy Thonglor: Booking.com
  4. Place to hangout and work
  5. Stuff to bring
  6. Where to exchange cash, etc.
