Day 2/40
The Yorkshire duck must be wondering how did I get on with inhibiting and directing during the guitar practice today.
Well, it was a revealing half an hour!
I began with pausing before taking the guitar out of the case. Coming back to myself, before acting. A different quality of the beginning today.
After tuning I thought of practicing the right hand. The hand automatically reacted to this thought and moved the pick to the area above the strings, and then fixed in tension. Because I noticed it I was able to say no to this and proceded more constructively by letting go of the idea, dropping the arm to the side and thinking of the arm as lengthening. Take time.
Later on something similar happened with the left hand. Once I spontaneously decided to add the left hand chords to the right hand pattern, my left hand was already on the fretboard! Similar strategy applied.
Jacek is the creature of habit.
