Re: Practicing what is hard in pursuit of effortlessness
My buddy and I played duets for an old-folks' home. My mother in law lives there and the audience is quite forgiving. We played complicated stuff (two Bach Inventions - guitar and mandolin), O'Carolan and arrangements of old-time/Shetland/Celtic tunes.
Not a great day for me! Really made me feel underprepared.
Now the audience and other family members didn't notice (didn't tell me) errors. I still felt less than glee afterwards; however.
Went about 10 days in such funk.
I had a great practice yesterday though! I really felt great playing those same complicated tunes. I think breaks and other such re-calibrations are good.
I know nothing about psychology; however. . .
f-d
