Albert-
TOTALLY agree.
I read once somewhere one trick to improved guitar playing (only?) was to practice and play with the TV on- (or some other noise going on). Guess it’s supposed to help your brain be able to “see through” the distraction and focus on the execution and technique at hand- (playing).
I know it’s a bit of a stretch, but isn’t that kinda what’s going on when performing a song? The- (deliberate at this point)- distractions for me were– 1. Standing, 2. Remembering the lyrics and chords, and, 3. Actually singing.
This was all just really sort of a big, deliberate, experiment.
The goals?– Do new stuff, test myself, and get feedback……..
The result?– a new perspective– “performing” a song!!!
Your post is RIGHT ON, and I’ll of course keep guitar-improvement as a major part of the picture- (because I just LOVE the sounds that come from that inanimate wooden box with strings).
Thanks again for answering!- (means a LOT).
