Feeling a little peaky.

Well I missed today's rehearsal as I'm not feeling brilliant, probably over working myself.
Still managed a tune though:
Jazz Guitar. Swing to Bebop (Doug Munro) - Solo #10

Jazz guitar represents an Everest sat a pretty long way over my horizon at the moment. I bought this book over 5 years ago. I decided to start at the beginning, so I opened it at page 1 (well 6, but that's not the point).
"Example 1 shows a C major scale in 1st position"
Nice and easy. Example 1 falls under my fingers immediately as I know it already.
"Example 2 shows the C major scale played in every position across the fingerboard using three notes per string."
Oh my god! Example 2 represents 10 years of hard labour. Every scale in every position on the fretboard - don't even think of turning the page until you've learned this. So I still bang through these scales regularly, but I'm not nearly as fluent or comfortable as I should be, or able to just pick out where to play in any given key - which are fairly essential skills for your jazz dude. Oh well it's not fun if it's not a challenge.
