Hard to explain, but what I try to do is keep my brain- (and eyes, if I’m using the tabs or lookin’ at either hand)- just a hair ahead of what I’m actually playing – regardless if it’s individual notes- (picking)- or chords. Constantly moving…….

That said- I was just wonderin’ if maybe my brain gets “tired” after an hour or so into a practice- (I try to go about 1 hour & 20 minutes each day). Hence- sharper at the start of practice vs. at the end.

To your thoughts on working on the “tough parts” first- I totally agree! I try to put extra time on those. Even if I think I have most of the kinks out, many times when I start all the way from the beginning- (thinking I’ll get thru the “crux” just fine– I still manage to butcher it up.😜

Good thing is- I think I do it just a little better each time- (even though it doesn’t always feel or sound that way……).

Every attempt puts me one closer to correct! (wow- how corny is that……)
