Good Question there Kyle! I started out practicing then I practiced at playing….then after being here for a while I overcame a challenge by making PLAY my practice. This was maybe six years in. I realized I could let go of my fear of doing it incorrectly (don’t want to make a bad pattern or, practice wrong you play wrong, both completely self limiting) and realized what made the magic. It was/is dopamine. It was why I could play a wrong note 100 times and then play it right to never again play it wrong. It clicked…that would be the dopamine. So I started following that. My progress went faster than it ever had before. It led me to where I am now where I make play my practice. Even scales become a universe to play within. : ) I would have to pay attention now to figure out how much time is strength training and how much time is on the field. (The Fretboard field that is)
