... it’s painfully revealing!
I’m just listening back to a recording I did earlier today of a slow blues, not a performance just a work in progress. I was anticipating the painful intonation on some of the higher notes, which I know I need to work on as it’s 50:50 if they will even come out, but there was a lot of iffy goings on with the bits I thought I could play comfortably!
I really need to concentrate on what I want to do on some of the long sustained notes, I was under the impression my vibrato and dynamics were pretty smooth and tastefully added! Oh and I was getting the timing of the diminuendos wrong so that the note disappeared just too early.
Recording really is proving to be a useful, if painful learning tool at the moment!
I fear it’s a case of having played the tune a number of times I’ve grown accustomed to how I play it and my brain blurs the lines between what I’m actually playing and what I think I’m playing.
Just wondering if I’m alone in this self delusional state?
