  • Eyes Closed

    Last week someone had mentioned how they were challenging themselves to play with their eyes closed, which is something I’ve hardly never been able to do.

    Double #smallwin for me! Not only did I play Swallowtail Jig eyes closed…it was also memorized! haha just realized it would have to be memorized to play eyes closed haha omg. ok so it still warm glowed my heart to no end and had to share! Two wks ago this song was nearly impossible to play…..now I’m tearing through it eyes closed lmao. Keep strumming y’all! The work pays off😎

    Way to go @BethL . I haven’t gotten as far as “eyes closed” but have been making a conscience effort at not looking at my hands, fretboard or strings. I keep thinking of Tony Rice in his closet and that was one of his things…playing without seeing. You keep going, BethL ! Keep going! You have set an excellent goal!

    Way to go! I need to go play swallow tail jig. Haven’t played it in a long time. Eyes closed sounds really hard but a good way to memorize it
