I recently learned a couple of simple new alternate ways to play things on the mandolin . . . and then spent a couple days doing some playing, but mostly thinking about how I can use those alternates to enhance my style.
That got me to wondering.
Since I am an ordinary working stiff with a brainless job, who can't practice 5, 6, 8 or 10 hours a day - I spend a good part of my day thinking about music and my playing style. Sometimes while in contemplation, I will get an idea of how to apply something I have learned, (or even some rogue idea that came to me out of the blue), and have been able to use those thoughts to make improvements to my playing.
Anyone else have the same type of experience?
