Have you ever had one of those days where you just couldn't get it right. You're trying to learn a part but you keep running into a wall. You try to get a track down, but you keep flubbing the take. So you keep trying. You don't quit right?...or do you.
Sometimes walking away is the best thing. Clear you head. Let your body relax. Give yourself time to rethink the process. I know it's hard when you are so focused on getting it right, but that focus may be misleading. You may not be focusing on the part but rather the need to get the part done.
It's amazing how the mind and body can come together when they need to, but sometimes you need to give them space. Sometimes all you need is a reset button. It's a hard thing to do when you have a deadline, a gig tomorrow night, or you are one track away from finishing the next big song.
Remember, music is made up of sounds and spaces where there is no sound. Allow yourself the spaces so that the sound that you make is spectacular.
