Playing a list of songs
I play music with my dad and brother on Tuesday nights. We play a list of 5 songs and are adding 2 more. If you had to learn a list of songs, how do you practice them? Do you practice all of them consistently or do you only practice the songs that you need to work on? If a chord progression in a song needs work, do you only practice the chord progression or do you also keep practicing the whole song? 3 of the songs I know well and I need to practice 2 of them. I have been isolating some chord changes that I am struggling with, mainly the F barre chord to C. With one song, it would be a lot easier to use a partial bar F. I would like to make time to practice at least once song for me. So also how do you balance playing the songs you need for a group and the songs you want to learn for yourself? Before I started playing with my family again, I used to practice 2 songs at a time. I am thinking of going down to 1 song for me. and the list of songs I do with my dad and brother.
In the past year or so, I have realized that I haven't spent enough time practicing chord progressions in a song I learning to a metronome and making sure the chord changes are solid.
