Fingering
How often do you practice
Every day
A few times a week
A few times a month
I don't get to practice, but I learn the songs for my gig or church
I hardly practice at all
When you sit down to practice how confident do you feel about what to do?
Very Confident
Somewhat Confident
Im hesitant but once I start Im ok
I just work on whatever, its kind of unorganized honestly
I don't even have a clue, its discouraging
Do you have an exercise that will strengthen the 4th and 5th (weak) fingers
Yes
No
I didn't realize I was supposed to be strengthening the 4th and 5th fingers
How fast can you do runs or melodic lines while playing?
Im super fast
I can go fast only with a couple
I can go fast but it doesnt sound too good
Im weak and very basic with runs
What are runs? Im still trying to figure out my chords smh...
How precise runs or melodic lines while playing?
I am extremely precise and clean. I hit all my notes accurately without missing any
I have about an 80% precision. So I hit most of the notes correctly, missing only a few
I have about an 60% precision. So I hit a little more than half the notes right.
Im not too accurate with runs.
I don't even want to try because people will look at me like "what are they doing?"
Ear Training
How well do you pick up songs by ear?
I am very good at learning by ear. I can learn anything I can hear
I am pretty good; sometimes difficult chords or fast runs throw me off
I am average. Will take me several days to even weeks if the song uses non-standard chords
I usually go to youtube or have to ask someone how to play a song. On my own Im not good at all
The only thing I pick up by ear are normal sounds.. like car horns, yelling, screaming in horror movies. Things like that...
Are you able to distinguish between the primary chord types: major, minor, dominant, and half-diminished by EAR ONLY?
Yes
Yes, mostly
Only Sometimes
Not that well
What's a half-diminished?
Do you transcribe (record or write down the notes to a song)? And if so, how often?
Yes all the time
Yes, but rarely
No, I would like to
Not that well
What's a half-diminished?
Vocabulary
How much variety do you use while playing a song by ear?
I have great variety. I never play a song the same way twice and my chords are virtually unlimited
I use some variety. I can play a song a few times using a variety of approaches and chords
I have limited variety. I have one or two basic changes per song that I use a lot
I have no variety. Every time I play a song it sounds the same
Less than Zero. A music robot has more variety than me. I am still struggling to play the song
Do you know all of your basic chords and their extensions
Yes
Yes, I know the basic chord categories but not all of the extensions
No
What are chord extensions?
How many ways could you play "Amazing Grace" or "Mary had a little lamb?"
Unlimited. (I have an endless amount of ways to approach that or any song)
10-20
5-9
3-5
1-2
Does playing with one finger count?
Improvision
How well do you use and understand Modes
Very Well, I can use them while soloing
I can solo pretty well but I still don't understand modes
I understand Modes but I still can't solo very well
I am confused by Modes and I do not solo that well
