Laurie frink1/8/2023 I give myself another 5 minute break and then I jump back in. Even if my chops or fingers (when playing bass) feel good ? it?s time to stop. When does the new season of Sons of Anarchy start again?Īt that point I have completely disconnected from the exercise. focusing on the notes and their relation to the chord? I wonder if I can squeeze in 18 holes of golf Sunday morning ? *What are you doing Eric? get your head back in the game*?. If it is not totally and completely engaged in the exercise, time for a break. The important thing is during those 15 minutes I am mindful of what my brain is doing. I set an egg timer and once it rings ? I put my axe down and wait 5 minutes before I continue. With my new practice routine I play for a maximum of 15 minutes. One thing I never took into account was mental fatigue and focus. I would play my exercises and work until I started to feel that familiar burn at which point I would put the horn down. In the past I would just practice until my chops got tired. As of late, I’ve been amazed at my retention and the quality I’m getting out of my practice sessions. Now that I?ve been working in this new manner for the past few weeks I see tremendous value in it. I would even dare to say these things were suggested to me but I either stopped doing them or dismissed them. A lot of the things I am doing now I should have done when I started playing trumpet. Since starting to learn bass guitar I am approaching practice different than before.
