Re: See think play to auto feel play
dont't practise scales, practise pieces, chopped into measures
Sing the melody with your voice, then sing it with your mandolin.
Avoid thinking - thinking comes from the wrong type of memory, the one that can talk about music but can't play it (aka declarative memory). Practising should go right into procedural memory (faster and more reliable but unable to explain).
Dont get pressed into learning more pieces, but play the ones you know over and over until you can do them by heart, as they say, i.e. without notation.
the world is better off without bad ideas, good ideas are better off without the world
