Jojo, not really a bad so to speak, just limited time. No, I do not spend over 10 minutes a day on something new, but I spend 10 minutes EVERY DAY. If you cannot find 10 minutes a day to play 6 strings and you are alive and well, then you are satisfied with the level you play. That is cool, but I have never really been satisfied. No sooner than I hear something new to me where someone is doing something that seems extremely difficult, well I have to find out just how hard it is.
Of course that is ony 1 hour and 10 minutes a week. I have found doing any more time on something new usually never really makes it into my playing style. This would be a great topic really, but for another place on the forum.
The reason is if I learn a new thing and spend 2 days learning it, then move on within a few more days I can no longer do it. For those new neurological connections we make learning create attachements EACH time we approach something new. This is that muscle memory thing every geetar teacher speaks of. So if day 1 creates 2200 neuroligical connections and half are lost, the next day the first 1100 get stronger and the lost ones return and some strengthen as well, so we learn more. The only problem is if we do not continue the process, it gets replaced. For instance, in 1978. So at 10 years of playing I learned some of Eddies 2 handed arpegios with Ice Cream Man being my favorite and was able to play the song well up into the mid 90's until the completion of the Seattle distruction of rock. I give Alice in Chains and STP a pass, but not that climbing Pearl Jammin Crash Test Dummy sounding Eddie Vetter. What I am saying is I can still play all of the song, but I have to take about 3 days to get it back under my fingers and this happens a few times a year because I am not playing it 1 or 2 times a week.
Very similar to your phone number. Before cell phones, everyone could tell you all their phone numbers, Work, Home, Mothers, Father, Mother Rapers and Father Rapers all on the group W bench.
Since we no longer have to remember or practice this, tell me the phone number to you favorite music store without looking it up. From my youth, Attinas Music Store-366-9064. No 10 digit dialing and actuallyif you were in the 366 area (I was) all you called was 9064 with your rotary phone dial.
Memorial Day weekend was busy. First weekend in the Smokey Mountains where everyone comes outside.
Certainly it is not that Molly is a girl, Carol Kaye IMO,(i do not care what anyone else things on the topic) so IMO, Carol has proven herself to be the top recognizable bass player who ever did session work. Everyone has their favorite. I do not try to play Bass better than her or Jazz guitar better than her, but you can bet I studied how she came up with those Bass lines.
