Learning experience

Posted by Andah1andah2 on Sunday, August 29, 2010

 Well I thought that having jam session recordings, slowed-down by the Amazing SD, on my iPod would make playing easier.  Well, it didn't make it easier,  it made it harder.

I realized a few things.  One, my timing is way off, and all the little things that I do to fudge my way through a tune at a faster pace comes out in full color when played slow.  I couldn't keep up with "Liberty" played slower than I usually do.  My timing was not following the jam group at all.  By the 3rd time playing the tune I started keeping up.  I then went on to tackle Road to Boston, and by the time I was at Sandy Boys, my left hand was shot and wouldn't play the simplest fingerings and my intonation began to fall apart.  I took a break.  

Now I plan on attending 3 days at Fiddle Hell in Nov and I just learned that I'm in lousy PFS (Physical fiddle shape).  I got a lot of work to do before I can play in lessons/jams for 3 days in a row.  

Besides convenience, the amazing SD is to become a big learning tool.
