Now that sounds familiar! (' ')
Good to know it happens to the best of the professionals.
So good to know that I'm not unique in that matter after all. (' ') |

Love your sense of humor ... but with those silks I'm left wondering where the zipper was ... (' ')

Jim,
Nice way to start my online day. You really make this one sound good. I have to break it out and see how it comes off my lips!
Thanks for brightening up the morning.

What a SOUND!
In all the years I've posted here, I've never heard the illustrious "Mr Clean" play before.
After asking what (very tasteful) reverb you added to make a small room sound like a big hall -
I gotta go practice! Thank you for sharing that, kind Sir
(I should probably qualify by saying I've only listened to the OP, not the rest of the recordings) |

| Really nice playing, Jim! I got 2 Fatheads too, and I think they're great mics. |

Another difficult one, Jim, great job. Of course it is the bunny slippers at the beginning that has the fans raving!

I should have asked at the time of this last post:
What is the process recommended for getting past those gnarly bits that
sometimes you sail through and other times they :get'ya?
BTW the effort you've put in to get these recordings up is much appreciated.

Work them through s-l-o-w-l-y. It also helps me to map the steps and leaps in the line, to treat every interval individually so that I do not "interval average". There is usually just a note or two that I really have to listen for in a gnarly passage to unlock it. Oddly enough, even though my playing has progressed a little in the last 35-40 years, old rep brings back old habits. I have not worked on many of these etudes in a very long time, and the bad habits really want to poke through. The internal voice in my head has been interesting. When I approach a problem spot, the "confident" voice has to drown out the "doubting" voice. A very large part of the reason I am doing this project is to practice exactly that - the ability to maintain focus and confidence under stressful situations. This is the closest I can create to the anxiety of a live performance outside of a live webcast, which I have no plans to do, haha.
Jim

Your response, Jim is much appreciated.
Taking the piece/s slowly and repeatedly while concentrating!
Focus and concentration ... hmmm ... Sometimes that is difficult.
I've also noted "Read ahead" as in, reading the music a bar or so before I'm playing it. And for me, that requires focus and concentration.
Thanks again for your response. Perseverance may yet get these pieces I'm working on, in the repertoire "bag."

It's sort of like driving - if you are looking just beyond the hood of your car, you are going to be very tense, because your time-to-process is very short, and you are more likely to wreck the car. If you can look well down the road to see what is up ahead, you will be more relaxed. Reading music is exactly the same. Also, if you focus on a mistake you've just made, you take your eyes off the "road" by looking backwards. Ears in the present with eyes in the future.

I've never thought of music like that. Sure think like that on my Yamaha FZ8n motorcycle (it makes a different kind of music) though.
Great analogy.
Thanks for that.
