Attention EVERYBODY! It's simple. Play your instrument. If you are enjoying getting together every wednesday and seeing what happens, fine. But, if you want to make a difference every wednesday, play every day towards a goal. Let's keep the beginnings and ends in mind. How are we going to start and end our song next week? I'm learning to become a little "rubbery" or "bouncy" with my practices so I can apply those scales and leads to a practical use. Today I followed the dog around the house while playing "Soldiers Joy". Although she was not happy with that, I did overcome a glitch in my picking in doing so. For what ever this is worth, keep playing and, find reasons to entertain your household. This post should also be in "practicing in different places". I'm not happy with me making stupid mistakes but, I am happy with not making the same mistakes.
