Thanks so much for this..perfect timing for me,as I have really been struggling with what to focus on during practice lately. Your tips are very helpful and I will be following much of your advice
Thanks for doing this video. I definitely feeling like I am in a plateau with my playing. I definitely want to watch it this weekend.
This couldn't have shown up on the forum at a better time as am going through a plateau myself. Another good thing that came out of listening to this is I subscribed to "Cleaning Up the Mental Mess" podcast - it's great !
I am not so hard on myself anymore and accept there are days when the fingers are just not working so well and i revert to playing an easy one. At the moment that is Wild Mountain Thyme!
